Hello all, thanks for having me here.

I turn 33 next week, prior 4 years USN. Working with a recruiter to join the AL Guard and work with 20th Group, and try out for SFRE. I know it will be a steep hill to climb, and time is working against me here...but I do know Crip from another forum (he is pretty much my hero lol) but I know he started his SF journey around my age...so it keeps me rolling on towards the goal!

Again, thanks for having me...I will keep my eyes/ears open and mouth mostly shut :D

InnovativeCGO Intro
 

i commissioned as an officer through ROTC in 2005 and did 5 years on active duty.

after some time in the IRR i have now been a reservist for 3 years.

i got to see some of the world on uncle sugar's dime.

i am hesitant to over share here.

I am a prior service Marine that served with 4/4 A Co. I am college educated, and a small business owner. Grew up in the hills of West Virginia. Am just a good ol' boy from the country. I have jumped through all the hoops to find a recruiter willing to work with prior service, and am going to MEPS next week to sign my 18x contract. Thank you everyone for all of the information, and thank you to the QP's who run this board.

First of all, thank you for accepting me to your site. My name is Pete, I grew up with Green Berets around in my childhood. As I grew older I befriended others in the SF community and was looking forward to joining the military with the goal of earning the tab. Due to uncontrollable circumstances at the time, I missed my window and regret it to this day. Since then I did what I could to support and give back to the community that taught me so much. Any support I can give is truly an honor! Even though I'm a civilian I will do my best to contribute to this great site. One of the reasons why I applied to become a member here is to pass info along about an individual that has been scamming and threatening both men and women in the name of the Green Beret. I did pass along much of the Info to the appropriate contact and it really is upsetting that the person I reported has been committing crimes and bringing negative attention to the elite. I also joined to offer my services in anyway I can to support the SF community that has given me so much throughout my life. Anything I can give back to all those that selflessly sacrifice their own lives is again truly a humbling honor!

I hope this posted in the correct location, I use my phone for my computer and don't want to start off on the wrong foot!

Also, if I can't get online tomorrow, I want to personally thank all of you for your service and wish you all a Happy Veterans Day!

Thank you again,
Pete

Hey, thanks for having me. I did my initial 4 as a 63H and then went IRR for about 4 years before joining the Reserves. In my time away I utilized the GI Bill and became an RN. I'm going to school to reclass to 68W in Jan.

In 2008 I was participating in the SF PT program they have at Hood, basically run by the guys who pass SFAS (and recruiting) while they're waiting on a school date, with plans on going myself. I deployed with my unit, and afterward, I just wanted to ETS and spend time with my fiancée at that time --as is typical, it was rough on our relationship. I'm 29 years old now, and I'm left wondering how things could have turned out differently. I believe I am more mentally prepared than I would have been then, and believe I can make a valuable addition as an 18D.

That is the goal, and I'm trying to decide on the best route in reaching it with the information found on this site.

Thank you.

Hello to all,

My name is Luke and I've been lurking for a year or so, but finally decided to register so that I can access the forum features that make it easier for me to research. I am currently in the process of signing an 18x contract, and am very grateful for the information that has been made available to us hopefuls. I'm not here to ask too many questions, if at all, because half to fun for me is figuring everything out myself and over time. Again, thanks for helping us out!!

Introduction
 

I served 2.5 years as a 19K before being accepted into the Green to Gold program I will be graduating soon from college. I am on this forum in search of information on what it takes to become a Green Beret. Thank you in advance for all of the information and dedication that is put into this site.

Hello, thank you for accepting me to the website. My name is Joe but you can call me Baird if you'd like. I currently serve as an 11B in the PA ARNG with A Co 1/111th 28th ID. Have been interested lately in seeing what it takes to become a part of this community. I have started training using references and advice given on this forum to prepare myself physically and mentally. I have plans of attending a brief for B Co. 2nd Bn/ 20th SFG(A) sometime next year in hopes of being given the chance to try out. Thank you for checking out who I am and my ambitions.l

Thank you all very much for allowing me as a guest into your home.

I am a police officer at a local department here in northeast Ohio. I first stumbled upon this website many years ago and have been addicted to reading all that I could ever since. I can not thank the Creators, Moderators and Contributors of this forum enough for the years of priceless information that has been collected here. I have truly learned a lot.

Thank you all again!

My name is Nate I am currently with the Iowa Army National guard. Originally 11B changed MOS' after 5 years and now I am a 91F. In the begining I was planning on going for TACP but after some Goruck events and doing my research I have aspirations of going for the Green Beret. So I come here looking for advice, and networking because I feel that if I want to become something I need to surround myself with people that are where I want to be or have been where I want to be.

Thank you for allowing me to be on this forum and doing what you do.

Introduction
 

My name is Wes. I am a former 35F with the 323rd MI BN our of Fort Meade, Maryland. Currently, I work for DCTC at DIA and primarily provide support to JSOC. For OPSEC purposes I won't go much further than that on open comms.

I am currently helping a friend of mine set up a contracting company (Native American/Veteran Owned) to go after some State analytical and PSD work.

I am here for advice, knowledge, and to link up with good people and former shooters who are looking for work on the civilian side.

My apologies if protocol was side stepped. I meant no offense.

Howdy!
 

I'm a U.S. Air Force veteran, from a very military family.

That brings me to my reason for being here. My son is scheduled to report SFAS soon. I hope to ask a few family-type questions about the Q course that I haven't been able to find answers to elsewhere (including a search of the forums here).

OK..... Just so you're aware if I was a candidate for SF and found my mom was asking questions about the course I'd commit Seppuku if I found out. ;)

I understand. :) I don't think these are the helicopter-mom types of questions he would object to, though.
