Hello, everyone.
I've been reading the forums for some months now, since following a link from an SF soldier's weblog. To a civilian like me, fascinated with Special Forces, this site is an incredible resource. Through it, moreover, I found and ordered "Get Selected," which answered many more of my questions.
I'm a professor. I teach; I run a research group. And I am acutely aware of the debt I owe those who put themselves on the line to protect everything I hold dear. After I fulfill my commitments to my researchers, I intend to join the Army, and I hope very much to wear the Green Beret one day. My relatively advanced age–I'll be nearly 34 when I join–makes the odds even steeper than they would be already, but I will give it my level best. In the meantime, I will be working to max the APFT (getting there!) and teach myself Farsi (just started).
I'll be asking a few questions, but mostly I plan to keep reading. My thanks to the hosts of this site, and to all the veterans reading it.
