I am a Reserve component soldier currently mobilized to Fort Hood, TX. I previously served 3 yrs 9 mos in the Active component before taking approximately a 3 year break in service. I have always been a medic in the Army, although during my 3 year break I took every job I could find that had nothing to do with the medical field. Having spent the past few years maturing and doing a great deal of soul searching I have finally cleared all the doubts from my mind and have settled on a goal to put myself in SF. I have a long way to go physically and still a lot to learn but I know this goal is easily within my grasp in the next year. I hope to learn as much as I can from the experiences shared in this forum and have already gained a great deal of insight in the short amount of time I have been browsing here, for which I am grateful to you all.

I'm a Green-to-Gold and newly commissioned 2Lt. I have a degree in kinesiology, exercise science option. I served as an engineer (21T20) while on Active Duty from 2005-2009 and have had one deployment to Iraq (Aug '06 - Nov '07). I start IBOLC here in a few weeks.

I want to thank everyone for contributing to this website, I've learned a great deal and look forward to learning more.

Hello Gentlemen,
I'm a 27 y.o. x-ray getting ready to start the Echo program in a week. This site has been very helpful in the past so I wanted to finally post my introduction. I scored a 1+/1+ in Arabic, knocked out SUT/SERE and am ready to learn as much in the Echo program as possible. I'm interested in the Intermediate Language Course in the future to be able to speak Arabic better when I get to a team. Thanks to all the PS's for their posts and hopefully I'll be posting a graduate date in November!

Finest Regards

Twenty-three years of age, I want to be part of the U.S. Army Special Forces regiment as a Army Special Forces Soldier, a brother within a brotherhood of (beyond)extra-ordinary men. I want to put myself to use, to serve, to help, to lead, to follow, to listen, to learn, to teach, to defend, to be a warrior. I am fast, but can be faster, I am strong, but not Army strong, I am smart, but I can be smarter. I am on this site to read, to listen, to learn, and when I have confidence that I won't put my foot in my mouth to talk and converse with you fine gentleman. I am in the process of organizing my home, family, academic and work life [my civilian life] before committing to an 18x contract.

Currently serving as a MP at FT HOOD. Packet is currently being submitted to attend SFAS in September. I'm on Professional Soldiers in order to gain knowledge and guidance from those who have gone before me. I have read through numerous forums and read posts submitted by the QPs as well as those Selected. I appreciate the abundance of information and greatly look forward to SFAS. Thank you for your time.

Hello,

I joined the Army Reserve in 2007 at the start of my senior year in college. I had spent 3 years in Air Force ROTC and it just wasn't for me. I hold an MI mos and deployed to Iraq where I had my first interaction with an ODA team.

Like many, I was always interested in SF but assumed that my 5'10, 160 pound frame didn’t meet the vertical and horizontal requirements. My interactions with the ODA team (specifically a Fox) sealed the deal for me and I am training to attend a NG SFOP.

Currently I am an engineering student at night and work days as a DOD security professional. I have been 'Trolling' the site for over a year now and with the ruck splits getting lower and the PT score getting higher I figured it was time to throw up the intro.

Thanks for all the advice so far and I look forward to everything I will continue to learn leading up to SFOP.

I have been lurking this forum for awhile just soaking in some knowledge. Currently a PL in Germany, and trying to be the best damn PL I can.

I would like to take a moment to thank all of the QPs for all their insight and knowledge that they have provided on this board. For now...back to reading.
