I know I'm a lifer when it comes to the army. I already finished school with a BFA, and have worked in the IT business for years. So now I'm just trying to figure out where I'm headed. I know I want to stay in the AR or NG, I don't believe in you can only do one thing in life. So as part of my research I read "Get Selected" which brought me to this site. I'm using this time I have left on med hold to prepare physically and mentally for SFAS, and for whatever comes my way in life. I'm going to re-enlist over to the FL-NG into the 20th SFG, I will do my best to become a 18E and go on from there with no regrets. Ether way I'm staying in for life. I'm looking forward to getting as much "from the horses mouth" info I can get. I appreciate the chance to be a part of this community and thanks for having me as a guest.
Cheers
Dunbar

We know you from SOCNET? Were you injured or wounded?
