Welcome all!


I would recommend that you not mention it to your fellow Rangers.

They will almost certainly not be happy to hear that.

Best of luck.

Introduction
 

I am currently in the Army future soldier program. I have a bachelors in Zoology, and my paperwork says 35p. Considering SF, also RASP trying not to count any chickens before basic. I ship out on March 26. This website seems like a great resource.

Hello,
I am a civilian, who is interested in one day being apart of the SF community. I have wanted to become a Green Beret for as long as i can remember. I come from a military family, and feel it is my duty to serve my country, which has given me so much. Thanks to all the QP's that serve our country, and that contribute to this website.

Good afternoon gentlemen. Like my profile states, i'm 25 years old and on AD Army in S. Korea right now. Finishing up my tour here in Nov and then headed to Ft. Riley. Looking at trying to attend SFAS sometime in the spring of 2013. I've just had shoulder surgery to fix a torn labrum and hopefully i'll be all healed up by then. Until then i'm here to absorb as much knowledge as possible. Thank you for your service.

Hello gentlemen.

I'm a former Air Force Reserve cop and now am employed as an 8th grade US History teacher. I'm also doing course work towards earning a Masters degree in Military History since 1945. I had the pleasure of eating breakfast and chatting with a member of the admin here (about a paper I'm working on) and he politely nudged me in this direction as a research tool.

I may ask an occasional question, but will primarily restrict myself to reading and observing.

I had posted in the previous introductions thread, but it has since been deleted.

My name's David and I'm 22 years old. Currently taking time off after completing 2 years of college course work. I'm in the process of enlisting in the Army and would like to secure an 18x contract. Thank you for the great resources here.

Howdy,

I've been active duty Army for nearly five years; I've had deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan. Had three duty stations, though I'm currently at Ft. Lewis, WA (or Joint Base Lewis-McChord, whatever floats your boat). Planning to attend SFAS before the end of summer, so I'm hoping to learn whatever I can, whenever I can to ensure success.

Hello i'm 21 years old and recently signed an 18x contract. The first step in a very long yet rewarding journey. Thank you to all the QP's and TS's for the vast amount of information on this website. I intend to use as much of this information as possible throughout my army career.

Greetings all,

I am a prior service Marine (AAV Crewman) and currently have an 18x contract (will sign into the 18x thread next).

I would like to say that this is a great website and have found a lot of useful information; I thank all of the QPs who have taken their time to post on this site. The sheer professionalism I see exhibited here here as well as the chance to learn more about the mission of SFs has helped instill the motivation in me to keep up PT and absorb as much pertinent knowledge as I can.

I recently broke my arm (minor but got screws) and am currently waiting for the last paperwork from my doctor so it can go through the MEPS review process, wish me luck, I need it!

18E in country. Any other questions just PM me.

Intro
 

Hi, My name is Andres and currently a 18x-ray. First off I want to thank you all for your service and for all the information that you have laid out throughout the forums. All this information is extremely helpful, though I still have many unanswered questions I will save them til I cannot find the answer in these forums. Lastly I look forward to all the training I will be doing and hope to one day serve amongst the greatest, it will be an honor to be mentored by such great soldiers. God bless those currently serving and those who have served and who will serve our Country.

Hello all, I am a 22 year old living in the Pacific northwest. I grew up loving the outdoors, I grew up with the benefit of being exposed to other cultures at a young age and since then I have found a passion in travel and exploring other cultures and histories. I joined sea scouts when I was 14 where I was exposed to Navigation but I have to say that compared to land navigation I only have a good base understanding of some of the skills needed to become SF. At age 17 I began teaching myself advanced swimming techniques and by 19 I became a swim instructor which I am happy with. I enjoy teaching and evolving my teaching abilities by overcoming my limitations in being able to teach certain techniques. I have thought about joining the military since I was very young and now I believe I have found a good route to start on, I plan on working hard to start a career in the army and with a great amount of preparation I plan to attempt the epic that is an 18x contract.

Introduction
 

I was an intelligence specialist in the Navy. I served with NSWG and also had a chance to work with SF in Baghdad. I was highly impressed by them. I am finishing up my degree at Ohio State, set to finish in December. I am going to be enlisting under the 18X program. I am honored and psyched to get my chance to work with some of the most hard charging people.

Greetings
 

Hello everyone. The names Daniel. I am currently in the DEP under an 18X contract. I look forward to interacting with you all and learning as much as I can. I can only hope to one day become a member of such a prestigious brotherhood.

Was an emergency room RN for a 2 years before enlisting, now I'm a SPC on active duty soon to be stationed at Eglin AFB attached to 7th group. Starting back on the forum to read about training up for SFAS. Thanks to all the quiet professionals for the vast amount of info on this site. Happy rucking!!!

Welcome aboard everyone.

I'm a college student in Texas, looking to enlist after I graduate, with the ultimate goal being a shot at SFAS. I have one question in particular that needs answering, but I'll be doing my research before I resort to posting it.

If anyone has, or knows someone who has, personal experience with MEPS doctors, the medical waiver process, anything of the sort, I need someone to talk to.

Thanks for yall's service, look forward to reading and learning as much as I can from yall.

Gentleman, Let me first thank you for the vast amount of knowledge that you offer up here and for allowing me to visit as a guest for years until finally deciding to become a member.

I am ready to take my soldiering to the next level and commit to my goal of being selected for Special Forces.

Hello,

I am a 24 year old male Army Reserve Soldier. My MOS is military police and I'm also a civilian police officer. I am interested in joining one of the National Guard Special Forces units. I have been deployed twice and feel that I just have not done enough to serve my country and want to be a part of the best. I do not plan on posting anything in this forum but rather read everything I can find.

Thanks for the opportunity to learn from your forum.

Guard Entry
 

Good Day,

I am a college student that has always gone out of my way to help people when no one else wants to. I've done work in search & rescue/disaster relief and have always been at my happiest making a difference in horrible situations. As such, I am training up for a monthly try out with the 19th SFG Guard unit in San Antonio, TX. For the longest I had been looking into US Air Force Pararescue, and even received recommendations for the Air Force Academy...but no other entity, great as they are in their niche, seem to fit what I hunger to do as much as US Army Special Forces.

Intro -- Ross
 

Hello all! My name is Ross and am currently in college pursuing a major of International Securities and Conflict Resolution (fancy name for International Relations focusing on wars and the like) and Arabic. I am still unsure of what I am doing in the future. I have been lurking around here for some time and have seen what NOT to do, so hopefully I will avoid some of these shortcomings :). I am looking forward to talking to some QP's and maybe getting some advice and more insight in SF world and community. Thanks to the admins who take the time to run this site, and the QP's for giving their wealth of insight and knowledge.
