Hello Gentlemen,
I am simply a civilian with no military experience. I have been a lurker on this site for several days now and felt it correct to register as has been asked. I was not able to enlist when I was interested in '91 due to health reasons, at least that is what the recruiter told me. Not having a resource like this and other websites I was clueless and not motivated enough to attempt to get a waiver. I find this site to be simply fascinating for someone who is interested in the military and a lover of learning history. I have greatly appreciated the posts by our Vietnam era Vets, thank you for sharing. Thanks to all of you for allowing a Civilian like me to get a small peak at the world of Special Operations.
Many years ago I read a book about SF operations in Laos with the Hmong and was impressed at what a small group of well trained and dedicated men could do with a force of motivated, yet near stone age tech level people. Sadly I do not recall the name of the book, I should search for it and read it again.
Thank You for allowing me here and thank you for serving our country. Now I will go back to lurking. Take care.
