Hello all,

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing me to join your site. I am currently a senior in college with an 18x contract and ship date for July 2015. I truly appreciate all of the information that this site has and how much it has helped in my training and preparation for what is ahead. As I eagerly await for the beginning of my military service, I will continue to strive to be the best that I can be.

Thanks again,
Jbaker

I'm a former military brat of a dad that was in SF during the Vietnam era. I have fond memories of living in the Ponderosa housing area in Fayetteville, NC , in Bad Tolz, and Ft. Devens. There were others places before that but the above are the most memorable.

I went the college route after high school, but did serve 6 years in the ANG 122nd CAMS Ft. Wayne, IN loading munitions on F-4 aircraft, the same aircraft that provided air support for the ol' man in Vietnam. No match for SF obviously!

If there are any other dependents from that era feel free to contact me. I was a twin if that jogs any memories.

My dad, Msgt. Billy G. Baird retired in 1973 and is still going strong going on 79. Both my parents work out three days a week! They live in an apartment above my garage when not in Largo, Florida.

P.M me if you want to make contact and I'll pass it by the Team Sgt.

Thank you!

I plan to pursue an 18X contract next year, currently a salesman and student. I was born, raised, and live in a military centered town and am friends with a few FOG QPs. Thank you everyone for taking the time to share your knowledge! I'm going to go do PT now.

Hello gentleman, scholars, and bumps in the night.

This is my intro, You all can call me PM or doc, either works. I am currently in and have been for the past 7 years. I reside in a sleepy town in the Rockies and am an avid mountain man some would say. I currently work in a FST. My trade is that of the 68W. I have been pursuing this tract for some time now and now at the end of my first run I am re upping with the 18X contract. I welcome all advice, info, and leadership that any QP can provide to myself. Beyond that here is to my hat in the ring.

Doc

This is my second introduction.

I graduated the q course dec 2013. I read the bulletin rules and stickies and haven't found anything about getting vetted for QP tag. So I thought I would post here before I message a mod.

Got out of the air force under the DOS rollback for a "shortcut" to SF. Like a lot of other shortcuts, it didnt workout. Had to wait two years before I could join the army with an 18X contract. Gettin the paperwork rollin this summer. Thanks for all the information in advance

Hi, I was a scout in the second Cav from 1999-2004, and finished my enlistment in the 1/509th. I had never posted any thing so I figured I might introduce myself first. I joined this site to absorb knowledge from subject matter experts.

Hello everyone,

As my name indicates, I'm an 89D (EOD Sergeant) who was born and raised in Texas. I'm currently stationed at JBLM in a Technical Escort unit.

I've always had an interest in Special Forces, but my PT wasn't up to my standards to apply. EOD grabbed me up and I've had a blast doing my job. I've had the chance to talk with some other EOD techs who have supported no only Special Forces ODAs but also; SEALS, MARSOC, and international forces. The stories I've heard are reigniting my desire to apply to Special Forces.

I'm currently entertaining the idea of reclassing to Special Forces. I've joined this site to get a little more intel on what goes into being a Special Forces Soldier, and what the community is like.

Hello,

I created an account last May to utilize the search bar. I passively surfed through the information on this site for a short while with not a lot of time to allocate. I now intend to be spending much more time thoroughly reading the content on here. I absolutely loath putting any information about or related to myself on the internet but out of respect to the creators and administrators wishes I make my introduction.

I'm a young man about 2 years out of high school, who lives in the Midwest. Very long have I aspired to be an operator. I've had many obstacles in obtaining a chance to be a Special forces operator. I wish to serve the people of my country and I have assessed I would do best to serve with my abilities as a Green Beret (plus I'll get to shoot guns, do a lot of cool stuff, and help people around the world.) I also wish to be as helpful and useful to the operators already in SF by preparing to be the best I can be now.

I have secured a 18x contract which will have me shipping off to basic in early summer this year. Until then I will be on here gleaming as much useful information I can.

lastly I would like to thank the creators of this website and those who administer it, putting in time and energy to nourish aspiring operators like myself.

thank you.

I heard this is the place on the internet for people who are both quiet and professional. Sounds lovely. Is anyone serving tea?
This is me, btw. I'm very shy.

Hello everyone,

I've been lurking on the boards for several months now absorbing any and all pertinent information. I am a 27 year old civilian from eastern Connecticut, i just went through MEPS in Springfield MA earlier this month and am just waiting on a tattoo waiver to clear (approved 2-5-15) before beginning my journey into the REP63 pipeline with the RI NG.

Military has been a lifelong dream of mine, I was unfortunately told I could not join in highschool because of an injury sustained in a car accident, (broken patella), so I went to college and got a career, but recently found out that my injury is no longer an issue and I could join and try out, so ten years later here I am.

I am a licensed electrician, adrenaline junky, competition rifle and pistol shooter, and freedive spearfisherman. Looking forward to learning all I can to help me on my way to becoming a quiet professional.
