Thank you for everyone who replies on this forum. It is great to have all this info and knowledge at your fingertips. I am a 28 y/o - looking to get more info on SF.

I figure it's about time I introduce myself. I have been reading the forums for a long while but haven't posted before. I am a 20 year old man from Minnesota. I have been interested in the military since I was in kindergarten. I am interested in joining SF. I've been working on fixing a disqualifying condition since before I graduated high school. I'm not sure what all to say so I will conclude this post before I start rambling.

Hello all. I joined the active compenent army in 2006 as a truck driver. I reclassed to MP in 2009 because I did not like the job as a truck driver. I started thinking I may want to try SF prior to MP school. My first orders as an MP was to FTCKY home of the 5th. This was my first sign. I put through the paperwork with the Special Operations Recruiting office and after some months I went to SFAS in June of 10. I was not ready, physically, mentally, heart or maturity level. I was 22.
I then decided to leave active duty in 2012 and joined the reserves. I quickly missed being regular army. I then tried to get a release to get back to active. Upon getting my release granted I was thinking of going back as an MP. Well everything closes, my luck (or was it).Then something opened and low and behold it was 18x. This had to be yet another sign. My calling. I have regreted how I VWd out of SFAS back in 2010 and thought about it from time to time. My release expired this past October and I have sense tried for another. I decided that I won't mess it up this time. This time around I REALLY want this more than anything. I have begun a training regimine to fix my failures

and working hard to get my release so I can get my 18x contract.
I will get my contract. I will put forth well over 110%. I will get selected. I will join the ranks of the great QPs.
This site is amazing. Since I have found it I have done nothing else on the internet other than reading threads and taking notes. I want to thank all of you for your advice and help. Apologize for the length of this intro but felt the best way to get any help I need is to know all about me.

Good morning everyone. I have been in the Marine Corps for five years. My MOS is infantry, I have been on one combat deployment and will hopefully soon be attending a SFRE for a NG SF unit. Becoming a QP has always been something I wanted, and it is something I will strive to achieve.
Thank you for your time, advice, and this site in general. It has already provided a wealth of info and advice.

Greetings,

I have spent my 72 hour probation period reading just about every thread.

I recently signed an 18X contract instead of re-enlisting with the Navy or going to the Corps.

I agreed with going back to bootcamp and losing a rank, but that is worth the chance to prove to the community that I am worthy of standing within the ranks.

I am very thankful and excited for the wealth of information on this site. My hats off to all of the QPs and others.

For now, I'll be reading, posting less, and PT.

(Oh, and i get to go to SERE again, THAT should be fun)

Hello Everyone,

I have been lurking around these forums for quite a while now, searching for this and that in regards to an assortment of Special Forces information. I have recently enlisted under the 18X program and will be leaving soon.

I appreciate the time all of the QP have put in place on this site to help individuals like myself. Hopefully I will have the physical and mental fortitude to achieve this goal.

I have been preparing myself for the rigors of the pipeline for nearly 4 months and I cannot wait to see if I have prepared enough

Thanks for everything.

CornfedScout19D · 01-23-2014, 00:02

Hello all,

I am currently a Cavalry Scout (19D) in the Nebraska Army National Guard. I have not had the opportunity to be deployed yet, so for now I am doing my monthly drills training for reconnaissance and surveillance missions. While I enjoy my MOS and my current unit, I strive for something more. I feel that my best fit lies within Special Forces. The experiences I have gained both in the civilian world and in my military duties have culminated into something unique that I believe I can bring to SF. I am a determined person by nature and I refuse to allow myself to throw in the towel at any point.

I joined this forum so that I might have the opportunity to meet gentleman that have held themselves to the highest standard and earned their right to be in Special Forces. I have learned over my years to take the experiences of others and apply it in such a way that I can better myself. Since becoming 18-Series is what I hold so precious to my heart, I know the best way possible to get to where I want to be is through the guidance of the experts here.

I would like to thank you all for allowing me to be a part of this forum community and I hope that in the near future I can proudly declare that I am a member of the Quiet Professionals.

Whats going on Gentlemen, My name is Sam. I've been on this site since 2011 but figured I finally make my first post. I am a recent grad of the SFCQ. I am a 18B and will be heading to 7th group. I spent 7 years in the 82nd before the Q course as a 11B. I needed to push my self farther and that's what made me join SF. I am looking forward to my career in SF and glad to be among the best that the Army has to offer!

Thanks for putting together this site and keeping us all informed. My name is Otto and I have been browsing this site off and on for about 5 years. I served 4.5 years active duty in the Marines as an Infantry Officer with 1st Bn, 7th Marines.

I am out now (in the IRR), and considering try outs for A/2/20 in IL or even going back to active duty.
