Introductions V

[RedHawk12]

Alas, it would appear my old intro has disappeared.

My name is Nate. I'm a soon-to-be-graduate from Miami University (the one in Ohio). I'll be commissioning in August '12, branching in September '12. I have to wait until September to find out, but I've requested Infantry on Active Duty. I've spent a lot of time perusing through this site, as well as picking the brain of my uncle, former 2/75 and 20th SFG (retired MSG type). I'd like to say thanks for providing such a wealth of knowledge and the opportunity to learn from some of the best the Army has to offer. Haven't really found a resource that can match this.

Eventually when the time comes I plan on making a run at Selection. Until that time, the ears and eyes are open.

Thanks again gentlemen, stay safe.

Gentlemen,

I've been lurking for around 6 months and wanted to say thank you for the wealth of knowledge you all have shared here. Above all, thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Thank You,

I'm an Air Defender, 14G. I have felt a calling into Special Forces for many years. After a great deal of soul searching, much thought, I have decided I will earn the right to wear a Green Beret, one day, preferably as an 18D.

Since a man is known by the company he keeps, I seek to keep company with men who are of greater character than I am. I will keep this brief as I am a guest. I do not wish to make a fool of myself so I'll keep quiet and speak when I have something worthwhile to say.

I'm seeking wisdom and striving to attain the characteristics needed to become a Special Forces Soldier.

You have an outstanding attitude.

Greetings,
I was recently introduced to this forum by a friend who I met in the 18E course at Ft. Bragg. I have been out now for some time, since 1992. I was active from 1983 to 1986 with 10th group as an 18C. After my active time I was with 11th group at Ft. Devens as an 18C, and then 18E after obtaining that MOS. I moved to Colorado in 1992 to study anthropology at CU Boulder, focusing on Mesoamerican archaeology. My primary focus now is my 7 year old son whose latest passion is the Scuba Ranger program. He still has about 2 1/2 years till he can get certified, but he's already planning which wrecks he's going to start with.
Looking forward to reading posts- especially in the fin, fur, and fieldcraft areas.

So, your son didn't want to be a PADI 'seal' ????
Good for him.

Welcome aboard.

I am proud, because, this has been a calling for my boy, (as Big Teddy posts), he certainly has given up a lot financially by doing this and not joining the family business.

Mostly I am proud that it is the wish of every Father, that his son grow up and become a better man than himself. I am a lucky Father, who has had the chance to see that wish fulfilled.

Congratulations to your son,, and proud Dad..

Now you can change you profile to say: "Proud father of a Quit Professional"

Thank you and JJ, very sensible and I have followed your advice with the update of m profile.

I look forward to reading your comments and the rest of the QP's on all matters great and small.

I am here to learn and I find that is benefited by being a man of few words.

Hello all,

I'm a former 18D from 5th Group who became so enthralled with my medical duties that I decided to become a doctor. I am now a cherry LT, and start at USUHS in August. I look forward to checking in periodically to know what's going on in the SF community, as I continue to stand in humbled admiration of the men with whom I served.

And if anyone knows how to reach a former 3rd Group MSG who liked "shooting guns and playing banjo" and was Robin Sage cadre around '04, I'd love it if I could have a word of thanks carried along... his instruction and guidance was a real asset.
