Hi all. I'm 25 and hoping to join the Army as an 18X.
I have been reading the posts on this website for awhile now and believe I understand enough to ask questions.
Thank you to the moderators for running this site, to the QPs willing to share their hard-earned knowledge, and to those serving, both past and present.

Hello, James from NY, 29. Just finished MEPS the other day, ideally signing an 18x contract next week.

I am a prior enlisted AirForce 3P0. Got curious about 18X after talking to an Army Recruiter. Something came over me and I've been training and researching since.

This website and forum provides invaluable amounts of information on becoming a Quiet Professional. I am grateful to have found it.

I've been a member here for a while but never felt the urge to post or reply because most of the time you all have it covered. It's been 16 years since my last LES but some things you can never get out of your system.

I am an ROTC MS 3, looking to make my way down eventually to apply for an officer slot. Look forward to contributing and learning here.

I am 28 years old, and a recently transitioned Active Duty Army to Army National Guard Officer. It is my goal to become a Special Forces Officer. I spent 5 years on Active Duty and missed my window, ultimately leading to my National Guard transition.

I'm in the vicinity of Pittsburgh, PA and have been training for the past year in preparation.

Hello everyone!
I am currently an active duty Sgt in the United States Marine Corps, Infantry rifleman/squad leader by trade. I am currently attending EMT-Basic, and beginning the process of joining the Army National Guard with a 68W contract. My ultimate goal is to be an 18D, I am obsessed with the various capacities of the combat medic/special forces field. I joined professionalsoldiers in hopes to get as much advice as I can to prepare for the SFRE I am hoping to get the oppourtunity to attend. Thank you guys for this amazing resource!!

Hello all,

I am a soldier looking to train body and mind in preparation to join the best of the best. Although not an American a lot of the information about PT and mindset is applicable to the Canadian selection.

Hi I'm currently leaving for osut and airborne Oct. 24th with an 18x contract.

Hello everyone! I'd first like to thank all the admins, mods, and QPs for running a great website and providing years of wisdom. I've already learned a good deal from the archived threads on this site and I look forward to learning from both the QPs as well as those like myself aspiring to join.

Hello,

I joined this site in hopes of learning and sharing. I am a 10 year member of the Army Reserves, and I have been doing my hardest to be released into the 19th Group with an SF contract this year. Right now I'm just searching the board for the answers to my many questions, while I fill out lots of paperwork and train-up.

Joined this site as a 19 year old PFC that thought he was the baddest man on the planet… I quickly learned otherwise. Injuries and immaturity kept me from pursuing SF as a member of the NG in CA. I've now spent several years as a Federal LEO in TX, and have found I still possess the desire to pursue Special Operations. I'm not entirely sure what that road will look like for me now, and so I've come back to this forum in order to study. I sincerely appreciate this sites administrators and the QP's for being willing to share knowledge with those of us that have chosen to pursue this calling.

Hello all,

I joined over three years ago before even entering the Army. This site has be a valuable resource over the years as I went from a know-nothing 18X in Basic and Airborne, and all the way through the Q to where I am today. I still don't know as much as I'd like, but every day is a new opportunity.

I've been lucky enough to play with everything from Carl Gs to 100+lb rucks, and have met many of the most truly impressive people in the world.

A word of advice for those of you in the pipeline: Never quit... because you might surprise yourself with what you're capable of.
