Welcome to Professional Soldiers!
 

We're still working on the site.

Suggestions welcome.

How about a forum for the NG Groups (19th and 20th) and maybe one for the deactivated Groups and Companies (6th, 8th, 11th, 12th & 46th)?

Excellent suggestion, at least for the Guard Groups, who have members in here already.

A 46th CO Forum might sit empty for a while, but I think we have some guys here who were in 8th as well.

We can always add them as members arrive, and make them plank holders.

I knew you would be a real asset here!

Actually, I was thinking you could have one forum for all the deactivated Groups, then those of us who served in them can get into the cups together... ;)

We need forum names..... what shall we call them?

Guard Groups


Deactivated SF Units

:D

Why not just number them all under a heading of Retired Groups or Retired Colors?

Only reason you might not want to do that is because some wouldn't get much traffic...like 46th.

Anyway, Where is the place for old 11th Group farts like me to call home? Or am I stuck in the Base Camp all the time?

AD guys....always forgetting about us...giving us the shit details...

;)

GH, This place is still in the formative stages !! Sounds like you have a good idea. List the Group just like the rest and put
(Retired) after it. That way any FOGs that have their roots there would have a spot to gather!!

Concur.

You looking for a job, GH?

Pass the recommendation on to Aprofsoldier for action.

OK so we have this as a Cat and a forum?

Give me a few minutes.

Looking for a job?

I moderate the idiots at military.com..

Manage the TR Contact list on the other side...

And run my own business in Thailand...

So, what are you offering? :cool:

I wish this was a serious enough situation where I could use my "death, and glory" speech, but it is not.

Sounds like your plate is full, I was just kidding. Besides, you live in Thailand, what could we offer you that you do not have already?

Have a ball.

Suggestion:

Book forum

OK, Under what category title and what forum name….

Under "At Ease."

Perhaps "Book Reviews and Recommendations"?

If you want to limit the subject matter, it could be "Military and Special Operations Books" or something like that.

Done.

Comment:

I like the look and feel of the site, but the font size is a bit on the small side. Maybe I'm just old, but my eyes have to strain a little to read this board.

I will resist the urge to comment on the age of other posters relative to mine, despite the fact that it supports the point I'm trying to make. LOL

Please do RESIST that urge, Couselor!:D

Believe me, I know that a man's got to know his limitations! Piss off a bunch of ODAs with Cobra support? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggghhhhhhhtt . . . . LOL

GOOD ANSWER!!:)

Terry

I only see one person complaining. Again, the many must suffer for the lawye...I mean the few.

P.S. The good lawyer is two years younger than me. Isn't it amazing how time flies. One day you're 18 and the next thing you know it's mid thirties...

OK old man. Go to "view" in your toolbar normally located above the BB. Click "Text Size" and make your dreams come true...;)

Hope that helps.

The Team Sergeant

And just like one frog said to the other...................isn't time fun when you're having Flies !!!

G'day all !!

LOL

My law firm changed its letterhead and the fonts we use on letters and things about a year or two ago. The new font was about the same size as what's being used on the threads on this board. It looked cool, but there was this huge uprising by clients and various lawyers because it gets old after a while. So we changed it back. :)

Edit: Missed all the other posts while talking to someone in my office. I will use that toggle switch though!

Wow. That was easy. Duh. :)

Not if when you checked, it was already on "Largest".

Dayum!

FUNNY!!

Terry:)

Suggestion
 

I was wondering about a forum on Support/Patriotism?

Many threads are posted in the lounge area at SOCNET
and the information gets lost after a few posts.
If you are not online every day they are hard to find.

For example: Request for supplies at Walter Reed in April last
year.

Collecting information in one place would be useful.
I know about the Pentagon's suggestions,
I am talking about some of the specific requests that are posted.

Just a thought.

Best Regards

g,

That's why there's a "search" button.

Type in a few words concerning the post you're looking for and BAMMM you're there.

Any problems you give a shout to one of the Moderators or Admins and you'll most likely receive help that day (if not in a few minutes)

A support forum for what ???? I'm not quite clear as to what kind of forum we're talking about.

AProfSoldier

How about one for films, movies, dvd's, or documentarys (whether it's military or non military).

Okay. When I started researching how to provide support
as a civilian 2 years ago I had a hard time finding any information.
That's how I stumbled over SOCNET. Didn't get any direct
info from the admins at that time. Got one answer "let me
check" and then nothing. I understood why, given the
Pentagon's recommendations.

After a number of months I found AAP
and continued to check SOCNET. Over the years I have noticed
various people posting threads about wanting contributions
for various organisations. Stuff the average civilian doesn't see
unless you spend hours searching many military sites.
In some cases, I was actually very surprised to see the information posted and not restricted.

Search button doesn't really help in this instance and if
the goal is to access as many people as possible, wouldn't
a specific forum be useful?

I can think of a few more recent examples:

1) Some company was organising a fund to help get the vests
for the reserves. Can't remember the company.
2) Cornbreads hero CD - all sales going to SOWF.

I don't know if this is better suited for SOCNET or here, but
I think it should be somewhere.

Respectfully submitted.

Got it I think.

I'll answer for many on here and say we like SOWF as an Org to help support.

We will and can answer any Special Forces question you might have.

As far as the other sites, it's up to you as a concerned American as to what you will do as far as your support goes.

Ask away. We're here to help.

>> MOS sectors

I'd suggest having each MOS in the 18 series represented on the site to allow specific questions, comments, and expertise to develop.

It's great that a medical area exists, but it would be even greater for those who are in the pipeline, NG-awaiting school for a targeted MOS, or for others to target that info.

Of course, there always exists the possibility of searching for it, but having it located under such logical categories would add to the great sense of organization you've already built into this board.

Thank you.

We have 18D and 18B, 18E is too sensitive for the internet, as is the fun part of 18C. 18F is the UWOA and The Early Bird. 180A and 18A are watching over the whole board and The Pipeline - and we all know its an 18Z World. What are we missing?

Understood.

Perhaps some of the other courses that fall under USASOC/JFKSWC&S - HALO, SOTIC, etc... Of course those of you who are running this board will have to decide to which there are opsec concerns and not include them.

We're talking SOTIC. We tried HALO once bfore in another AO and there wasn't much interest. Good ideas, keep 'em coming!

I thnk they used to, probably still have, a pretty neat instruction course on driving, but probably too narrow, although the skills would be great for everyday driving. :)
