Greetings Gents,

My name is Dallas and I'm currently living in Southwest Phoenix. I recently separated from the Navy after 5 years of service, 3 of which were with III Marine Division in Okinawa, Japan were I had the opportunity to meet and train with some amazing men and women. I'm currently slotted to leave for OSUT in March as an 18x candidate, needless to say I'm beyond excited and thankful.

I'd like to give thanks to all the QP's running this site, I'm blown away by the resources you've provided!

If anyone is in Phoenix and wants to train shoot me a message.

FORMER PSYOP (1999-2012)

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!. -

Gentlemen, allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Robert Horton. Former USACAPOC (1999-2012) I have an AAS Degree in Health Sciences, Emphasis in Radiation Physics and Radiation Production. Gravitate toward Scalar-Wave Technology. I’ve read almost everything LTC Tom Bearden has ever written,… and then some; it’s all PSYOP applicable. I enjoy researching Earth History, human history, blood-lines & tribes. War's & Global Warfare, off-world and underwater technology are fascinating as well.

I am happily Married to A WOMAN. We have no childrenr, She had 4 from her previous marriage. Her eldest Son is a 16yr Vet, 2nd BATT, RANGERS & her daughter in-law, 18yr Vet M.I.both active side of the house. - I’m a 48yr old White, 9th Generation American, American War-Fighter (SAR) and a Native California National. Our family sailed to this continent with the Dutch from Brussellsgraff, Germany and helped found “German Town” in – what was then – Penn Colony; before it became Pennsylvania, and well before the united States was founded.

My [very] Great Grand-Father(s), Jacob Gardenhire Sr. and his Son Jacob Jr. sailed here together and eventually when (Grand-Pa Jacob Jr.) had a son of his own named, Jacob Jr. III, he and his Son [Jacob III] joined the Virginia Regulars and fought in the War of Independence against – what is still today – one of the greatest Tyrannies of the World,… and survived.

Since then, our family has had a representative present in every armed Conflict that the united States has been in since its inception,.. all the way to me; I am the last representative of my family’s humble line of American Revolutionary War Soldiers; Soldiers ranging from Militia Regulars, to Spy’s, to Navel Sea-Men, Army Grunts, Air-Force Technicians, all the way up to, USASOCOM to once again proudly represent our family in one of the highest echelons of Military Warfare in the World as a member of the Psychological Warfare Regiment. (USAR)

Spent my first (10) Ten Years out of High School working construction all over the Central Valley. When one day, I realize that I was not going to make my millions doing this! My life-long friends and buddies did nothing but play god-forsaken video-games,… CONSTANTLY. - I said, freak that, and in 1999, at the age of 28/29, I joined the Army (Res) as a 37F; PSYOP Specialist, and I Dag-Nab love it. Time of my life. Hell I should have joined at 18!; quay-sarah.

I was a PSYOP Specialist for 10yrs. I have the great humble honor to say that I was a Team Leader and as such, was chosen by my unit (along with a select few from the 304th) to assist in running and supporting the (1st) first (it pains me to say) eh-hem, re-class course for my MOS down at Fort Hunter Liggett, Ca. I worked directly under MSG Ming, (301st Psyop) NCOIC of Support Personnel and Support Operations for the JFK SWICC Extension of the 37F Re-Class Course, at that location.

I (and my Team) hammered out multiple support operations for the very first (2) two re-class rotations of that re-class course, and with that, I was offered a position at the Active Duty SWICC Psyop School-House by none-other than, MSG Campbell. Whom – interestingly enough – was my School-House Instructor, for what happened to be his FIRST rotation as the NEW SWICC PSYOP Instructor. ...and because we broke his cherry, we sent him off with a NO-LOSS "GO", and gave him his first plaque that said, “From the Cherry-Blast Class”. All in the spirit of Appreciation, Respect and good fun, of course. - So, it was honestly a great honor to have my Instructor offer me a position there assisting him, no matter the capacity. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take the offer at that particular time and that’s really my only claim to fame. I’m no hero.

But I knew for sure that I didn’t want to work in Marketing and the only other thing I could do with an MOS like mine was go to work somewhere in Government. So I re-classed as a 91P (X-Ray Tech) and in 2012 ETS’d and got at it.

Long and short of it, I wound up working right back in Government doing exactly what the Army has trained me to do. Ha! - I work with local Government, from the Mayer of the City, down. LOTS GOING ON! Illegal invasion and shipments of Congressional noted Foreign Enemies to the united States' Treason, intrigue and more Benghazi type "Bus-Driving" taking place. Look up Scott Bennett (2nd LT, 11th PSYOP) YOUTUBE ; Beyond Benghazi!

Look forward to getting to some of your comments on the report I've given to you all. Every single bit of it is of the utmost of importance.

Thank you for having me,

GODS SPEED.

Smile Former US Air Force Aero Med Andrews AFB 1984-1986

Hi everyone, my name is Rita and I want to thank you all for your years of dedicated service to our Country. I am former Air Force from the 1980's and I was stationed at Andrews AFB Aero Medical Facility as a Medical Technician working from the staging area to the flight line. If you have ever taken a C-9 Med Flight, or C-130 during that time period, then maybe we crossed paths I just want to say, you guys have my deepest respect and admiration. Thank you for letting me take a peek into your world.

Post Current Army Intel Analyst

Greetings everyone,

My name is Peralta. I have been in the Army National Guard for 7 years ( 6 in combat arms; as a tank gunner and 1 as an intel analyst). I have been granted the privilege to join this invaluable group to hopefully learn as much as I possibly can from the vast amount of resources here. I have always wanted to become a Quiet Professional, and feel as though I am in the right place to seek guidance as I prepare for Pre-Selection. Thank you to all who have served and I look forward to connecting with you all and learning in the near future.

Best Regards,
Peralta

Hi All,

I joined this site a little over 3 years ago when I was thinking about joining the military in some capacity. I was all over the place with which branch and if I wanted to go officer or enlisted. My plans were put in the back seat after taking a job coaching soccer full-time, however, after 3 years, I still have the itch to serve.

Currently, I'm 27, live in Colorado and I am looking at the NG 19th Group located here. I'm in no shape to attend SFRE as of yet, but have been following the Selected! plan from sorbrecruiting.com. I have never been this unfit in my entire life (I played college and semi-pro soccer until I was 24) and I am ashamed at how complacent I have been with my physical fitness. I'm still strong, but my cardio is awful. I'm training for a dual purpose, first, I am in the final stages of becoming a LEO, second, the goals of obtaining a REP-63 contract at some point.

I likely won't be posting at all, but wanted to introduce myself in hopes someone wanted to become a training buddy.

That's me. If anyone is located in CO and wants a training buddy, please send me a PM.

Thanks, y'all.

Registered on here years ago at the urge of the then TF Sulu XO, but never posted. Times and life have changed a lot since then so I'm back around, and updated the profile info to reflect

35P Indonesian, SOT-A time with 1st and very little with 10th, moved to 4ID to fill in and recover from injury, ended up being the acting MICO 1SG/ phr holder while on rear d, now in ides and only have a few months tops left in.
Roommate is a SOT-B SSG at 10th, and for anyone who was around Ft Carson at the time and would remember it, he had an ND and put a 45 round through my leg in our apartment back in 2013.
Anything else, let me know.

Jeff

Hello gents,

I'm halfway through law school and reading as much as possible. I'm considering trying for a rep-63 with the NG out of CA once I finish law school and my clerkship.

Thank you for sharing your experience and insight.

Hello all,

First and foremost, thank you to all members of this forum that have helped develop it in to the excellent source of information and encouragement that it is, as well as all a thank you to all forum members that have and/or are currently serving.

I am a 28 yo REP63 enlistee exploring this forum for as much guidance, motivation, and information as I can come across. I’m inspired by the mission of SF and believe it to be absolutely vital in today’s increasingly globalized world. I ship for OSUT at the end of March and look forward to focusing on each step of the process as it comes.

Thank you again to everyone on this forum, and I look forward to meeting (hopefully) any of the other candidates attending OSUT with me and working together towards our goal.

Navy-Army

Hey guys,

My name's Ben, I'm a Navy vet (7 years) I'm currently contracting in Afghanistan and am trying to get in touch with recruiters in the states to find out about enlisting with an 18x contract. So far in my search I haven't gotten as much as an e-mail back, but we'll see how it goes as time progresses, I'm sure they prefer people who are there in person or can communicate via telephone anyways. Thank you for allowing me access to this archive. See ya around.

Introduction

Hello Ladies and Gentleman:

My name is Jon, and I am currently 21 years old. I will be graduating this spring with an undergraduate degree in accountancy. After graduation, I will be seeking to obtain an 11x option 40 contract. The primary reason why I want to serve in the United States Army is so that I can protect the freedoms that this country was built upon, and all the opportunities that she provides to her citizens. To dovetail off of this notion I also want to provide a newfound freedom to those in foreign places who are victimized by evil and tyranny. Lastly, I desire to work with professionals who take their job with the utmost seriousness. To be amongst men who are constantly as well as consistently pushing for betterment physically and mentally is a reward that I am willing to work toward. Until then, I will go hungry.

I also want to give my thanks to all the Quiet Professionals and other military personnel who have picked up the sword and those that are still carrying it. There is a lot of invaluable information on here and want to give my gratitude for keeping this resource up and running.

Introduction

Hello,

I'm a Forward Observer in the Iowa National Guard. I'm a Network Administrator on the civilian side. Despite being a top performer it is difficult to get sent to schools, and as far as I'm aware, unfortunately, there aren't much for high-speed units in Iowa (at least since LRS was dismantled). So I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the Special Forces and its pipeline.

Thanks.
