I'm finally done and it feels damn good! Thanks to everyone on this site, professionals as well as candidates, who keep it such a supportive and informative resource. I wish all you guys the best who are about to start, it's a long and often shitty journey but that's what makes it so sweet in the end. Of course rather than the end, it's really just the beginning...

As with the first reply in this thread, I will also say that this may not apply as I am not actually either an 18X or a REP-63. But, based on the fact that the aforementioned note was never kicked back then, I guess, I can be counted in as well...

I pretty much posted a similar bio in the intro thread but now I have just found this one so... I am a prior service F.O., did a couple of tours in Iraq, dig the life, and now I am an NQP at 3/20th SFG. My SFAS date isn't in set in concrete yet, but it will likely be the January '06 class, based on all now-available variables.

Thanks for the informative site Gentlemen (and Sergeants, before I stir anything up )

Steve
