Hello, and personal introduction

Hello,

I am new to this site, and as per the ROE’s my first order of business is a greeting and introduction.

I would first like to thank all of you for allowing my into your home as a guest, and for taking the time out your busy lives to help educate us dreamers, hopefuls and wannabe learn more about your world.

I am a former Marine rifleman who spent a little time as a Scout sniper. I am almost finished with school and I miss being in the military. I started looking into the National Guard hoping to create the balance I am looking for life. When I went through sniper school in 99 there were two Sergeant first classes from a SF group in California. Before then I had know idea that the guard had SF units, and since then I have been interested.

My life is on course and I have begun to gather information about what it takes to get to SFAS and have a chance to at passing. I am a firm believer in the 7 P’s (proper, prior, planning, prevents, piss, poor, performance), and you site has been an extremely effective tool for my planning.

I have no misconceptions about how hard and long the SF pipeline is, but without challenges to overcome life would be meaningless. I am in Colorado now and have been getting my legs, lungs, and feet, back into fighting shape. With a little intestinal fortitude, suffering, and sacrifice I hope to slightly increase my chances of success.

Once again thank you for allowing my in your home as a guest, and thanks for all of the helpful information.

Sincerely,

A SF wannabe and hopeful in training
