Good day everyone. My name is Nathan. I am a Marine Corps Infantry veteran who is now in the Army National Guard. I made a profile so I could use the search button. I have found a incredible amount of guidance and knowledge on this site and spend most of my free time reading up. I have been drilling with the non quals of Alpha 1-19th for around 8 months now and am pleased to say that I leave for selection very soon. Everything on this forum has been a massive amount of help and I appreciate all the information shared.

Read this board for many years before becoming a battalion surgeon. Excellent insight.

Hello Quiet Professionals, guess I'll make my introduction. I'm 17, I live in Dallas Texas and I am graduating high school in 2016. Currently running everyday, working out, and I'm going to start rucking as soon as I can get a good backpack.
Yes, I am an 18x hopeful, but I hardly want to mention that because actions speak louder than words and there are 100,000 other kids out there that can talk all day about 18x and most of them will never make it.
I'm a patriot, a gun owner, a gentleman, a believer, and a realist.
I appreciate the opportunity this forum and community brings to learn and be better prepared for my days in the army, and God willing my days in the brotherhood of Quiet Professionals someday. To everyone serving in any capacity for this great nation, and especially to the Quiet Professionals, thank you for everything you do.

Hi All,

First off, I would like to say thanks to those who administer this site and those QPs who contribute to these forums. For someone like me who is strongly considering pursuing a career in SF, this forum is a wealth of knowledge and extremely valuable.

I currently live in Northern California and graduated from Santa Clara University with a degree in Finance and a minor in International Relations. I have been working in the professional world for 5 years now. I am at a point in my life where I feel a duty to contribute to something much larger, something more meaningful and I have always felt a strong calling to serve my country.

I've decided that if I do choose to pursue a career in the Military, I want to earn the Green Beret. Across all the various branches and career fields in the military that I have researched, I believe in the mission of SF and see my values aligning well with their mission.

My main goal on this forum to be a sponge and gain insight from those QPs who might've made the jump to Special Forces from the post-college, civilian world and gain some perspective on what the transition was like and other helpful tips for preparing myself for the road ahead.

Thanks,
norcalgrk

Hello all

I came to the site due to my strong interest in foreign policy and military affairs. I had the great privilege of lucking into the 10th SFG in an MI support role back in the 90s. Naturally, I gained a great respect and appreciation for 18 series. I want to thank the administrators as I've already learned a good bit just tooling around the site.

All the best

Hello to all,

I do my best to research as much information as I can from the most effective sources available to me. I have found this site to be one of those sources. I have been researching and preparing for the 18 xray program for 3 years, preparing both my body and mind.
The reason I joined was to find answers and if those answers could not be found, to ask the questions. I appreciate the help, honesty and motivation that I find on this site from members of the Special Forces (both past and present) and others.
I have been, and will continue to do my best in my preparation. That is all that I can ask of myself. But every day I will increase what my best is. Thank you all and I hope to meet some of you one day down the road.

William

Hello all. First I want to thank all here that have served and are serving. I'm a 35 year old farm chemical warehouse forklift operator. I grew up in Monroe, LA. Close to the Duck Commander, little did I know then. I have not served in the military, but I have great respect for those who have. I can't stand to see the direction our country is heading, and the sacrifices made by you guys being thrown down the tubes. I have two kids, one is a teenage girl (God help me). I like riding ATVs, walking the fields behind my house, plinking and every once in a while I call myself varmint hunting. Mostly I only have time for honey dos and watching the kids various ball games. I'm sorta active on AR15Armory. I've lurked around here just a bit, hopefully I can contribute to the group, and maybe learn a few things myself.

TheRoad64 · 06-14-2014, 14:07

New here, registered to browse a few years back, but am now considering Guard SF in Texas.

Been in the Air Force since 2006, in 2010 I crosstrained into CCT. I separate later this year, and I'll be moving to Texas from Bragg with my fiance.

I'm Chris and I've lived in Ohio for the past 7 years. For the past 10 years I've worked for a telecom company and am currently in a Project Manager position.

I retired from the Army in 2004 as an MSG/E-8, after 21 years of service. I started out in Signal, shifted to Aviation and ended up in Ordnance when I retired.

My bio has the list of units and years assigned. One notable assignment was when I was with the MMC in SOSCOM, USASOC from '96 to '00. During the latter part of the tour I was on the Jumpmaster team for HHC, USASOC and really enjoyed that experience.
