Agreed.


The current trend here leaves room for a little bit of hope. These options were presented to me when I got here and I couldn't believe it. I'll believe it when I see orders.

I'm an NCO stationed Ft. Carson. I have been on this site for a long while reading and learning and keeping my mouth shut. I have a selection date for
9 APR. My apologies for not doing an intro prior to this. Before I didn't feel that I had anything worthwhile to say. Things are different now, the dream has become a mission. Thanks guy's.

Hi, my name is Glenn. I was active duty 86-92 as a 13 Fox. I served with 8th ID in Germany, 10th MTN, and the 82nd. I submitted a SFAS packet in 92 but tore 2 ligaments in my right knee before my school date. I decided to get out afterwards under the force reduction plan. Last year, I joined the NC National Guard and am currently in Phase 0 of OCS.
My first encounter with quiet professionals was in Bad Toltz, Germany at a school called platoon confidence training. Great school, learned a lot and was very impressed with the staff's professionalism.
I have already learned and remembered a lot just from browsing the site. Thanks for letting me onboard.

Greetings,

I am a currently serving Peace Corps Volunteer and I will be finishing my service in the summer of '08. I am doing research into SF as a career.

I haven't "pulled the trigger" in my mind that SF is what I want to do yet. This website is helping me to make an educated decision and I have found the info on here to be extremely useful. I am looking at how my experience as a PCV could be applicable if I choose to pursue becoming a SF soldier.

Thank you gentlemen for everything you do. My hat goes off to you all.
