I also love to workout. I am a BIG CrossFit person. My personal Favorites are Cindy, Fran, and Jason. Thanks

Welcome all.

Doc, I do not think you will be going to the 18D (SFMS) course unless you go SF. You probably mean the SOMTC.

Hello all. This is my first post. I've stayed out of the loop for a long time but decided to get back in touch after Col. Moroney's death. I spent 10 years in 10th Group. B/2/10 from 78 to 82 and then C/1/10 & B/1/10 from 82 to 87.

I've been reading the posts in the site for a couple of weeks now and I'm impressed with its quality as well as the professionalism of the posts. I hope to re-connect with old friends, meet some new ones and learn from all of you.

Thanks for the opportunity to join you.

Greetings,

I appreciate the opportunity to be a guest in your neighborhood, sirs. Many thanks. I have spent a great amount of time researching Special Forces as a whole, hoping to one day join your ranks myself. I anticipate being able to learn from, as well as, contribute in any way possible to this community.

With Respect,

Matt

I currently reside in Detroit, Mi .
Potential recruit for the army/18xray. Was supposed to leave 20081114, but im currently training with my brother and leaving in January. Found the site, couple of weeks ago and it didnt take long for me to figure out it would be beneficial to me as a potential recruit to join.
A tradition in the fam to serve. It's no greater honor than being a Soldier in the Military , better yet the ARMY. Look forward to learning from the men here who have paved the way .

Thank you for your service Gentlemen.

My name is Ryan. I am currently an undergrad at Northeastern University in Boston. I am interested in using this site to learn about the career path and considering a hiatus from college to serve my country as best I am capable.

I am a 35M DEP but because of the high standards, effectiveness, responsibility, brotherhood, as well as cultural awareness and involvement (I am an international affairs major with a focus on the Middle east and a minor in Arabic) are all factors that have pulled me towards SF. I do not plan to look past the 25m but feel that after some experience and hitting 4, I may consider putting in a packet and wish to use this site to continue to learn until then.

I plan to read more than post, posting with maturity when I do, and using this excellent resource to prepare myself to enter into the army, and learn from true professionals.

Greetings gentlemen.

My name is Jorge. I am a graphic designer by trade. And at 29 years of age, I am enlisting in the Army.

Thank you all for your service. This site is a wealth of information and I am steadily consuming it as much as I can. I am currently working on my physical conditioning as well as mental conditioning. I look forward to serving my country.

Hello,

My name is Mike and I thankyou for creating this website to help support your own community, as well as supply helpful information to others interested in joining SF, or who just want to show their support.

I am prior service Navy and served 8 yrs as a GSM (gas turbine tech). I served aboard USS Guam (LPH-9) before it decom'd, and USS Thomas S Gates (CG-51). I have been out of the service for 3 years now, but started missing military life within 6 months of discharging. I just started speaking with an Army recruiter this past Friday, and hope to be on my way to boot camp soon, or in my case I believe it will be the warrior transition course. I am going to try and get an 18x contract, even though I have been initially told I am past the max age limit to get it, im going to push to get one anyhow. I am only a few months into 30, so I will just have to see. My younger brother has just started the Q course this past monday, so I am rooting for him, even though I know he has it in him to complete his training.

That is a little bit on me, and from here I will just keep on reading and absorbing.

Thanks, Mike

Gentlemen,
I've been lurking around for about a year and finally registered about a week ago. I'd like to thank all of you for your contributions to this website. I will be attending SFAS in April and have found this site to be a wealth of knowledge. Thank you again and stay safe.

Hey fellas,

I thought I did this a few days ago, but I don't see it. Just in case...I'm Swank and I'm a team sergeant in A/1/19 in Washington. When I'm not doing that, I'm contracting as an 18D-type, managing Fenris Global.

Perused the members list. Good to see some brothers here I haven't seen in a while. Heretic, you better call me or I'm going to take your flask back. Currently seeing the sights/sites in cradle of civilization and fighting with deers and tricare over what my DoD status is. Pure joy.

Hello,

I recently joined PS but have been viewing the site for months, it has helped me in my civilian job as an intel guy for afsoc and hopefully in my military career.....if I'm accepted into a 20th Group slot. I'm looking to transfer from an AS-2 slot in the PAARNG hopefully to an AS-2 slot with Group. Thanks for running such a site.

Hey there,

Getting ready to sign a REP-63. Found the site from the Get Selected book. Just looking to learn as much as I can before I go. Grateful for all of your insights and experience. Thanks!

mike83 · 11-07-2008, 22:22

I have been lurking for over six months, came about the website from " Get Selected". Am prior service, and was getting ready to start my 18 x contract in December. Some family issues came up and have to put things on hold. Looking at going into the DEP program in Jan, and start the pipeline Jan of next year. on the plus side, I'll be able to get another year of school in, and more time to prepare myself. Needs come before wants, and I just have to keep my head up and drive on.
