G'day guys. I've been flicking through your pages for some time now and figured it may appear rude not to say hi. It seems most questions one can have are already answered here, you just need to spend some time reading. So far it's a great book. Great to see a decent forum set up and run as well as this. Kudo's to you all. Love reading about your rucksack is in the hall.

If its ok I'll kind of keep to myself? Rules and the like, which ain't so bad. But I'm happy to talk Australia if anyone gets interested. Just give me time to reply with my chicken scratch on this IPAD, Cheers USASS 2011.

I hope I worked through this ok. Thanks again.

Hello QP's.
I have truly enjoyed reading the threads on this site. I only joined a few days ago but have been visiting the site for some time now. I am currently talking to a recruiter trying to get an 18X contract. I am 28 years old and a father of three wonderful children. I have 6 1/2 years of law enforcement experience including undercover, tactical, narcotics, training, and supervisory experience. I have 60 credit hours towards my BS Criminal Justice from Mountain State University. I currently work in Afghanistan doing security on BAF. Thank you for all the wonderful information that the QP's put out on this site. It has helped greatly in preparing for the future.

How's it going, I just got out of the Marine Corps and am going to Mepps in two days to crossdeck over to the Army with the intent of going to SFAS. I served with 3rd Bn 4th Marines for 4 years and served in both Afghanistan and Jordan as an infantry team leader as well as squad leader. Joined the website because my recruiter told me to check it out and i wouldn't mind getting some info from the experienced and mature instead of reading forums full of trolling.

Hello all,

First, I would like to thank everyone involved in the creation and maintenance of this site. It is a God-send to career minded individuals that seek information. My name is SPC Vangarde (Ben) and I am a 26 year old husband, father and OEF '10 veteran. I enlisted into the AD army, then transitioned to the VANG. My service obligation began about 3 and a half years ago. I have what has become an obsession with becoming a member of the QP community. A large part of what draws me to the brotherhood is the character of the QPs that I have met both overseas and here at home. It is my intent to make an educated decision and commit...

Hi, everyone!

My name is Lu and I am a Chemical Soldier in the greatest armed force in the world, the US Army. I’m glad to have found this forum and I am learning a great deal about its Professional Soldiers.

I’m 32 years old and I enjoy technology, computers, foreign languages, flying, skydiving, rock-climbing, and the outdoors. It is driving me nuts to work in an office all day.

I am originally from Brazil and I am very proud to be an American. The best way I can explain my love and passion for this country is by the simple figurative analogy of fatherhood. Brazil is my biological father, while the U.S. is my real father and I will make him proud.

I’ve been waiting a long time for my opportunity to attend SFAS. I will not disappoint the ones who came before me and I will be there for the ones beside me.

I wanna fight the bad guys and bring justice around the world. It is great not to live in fear and freedom is inside of me. Thank you all QP’s for what you endure!
