Hi MaddMike 275.
Nice to have you on board. Glad you filled out your profile and thanks for your contribution!
While it has been a long time since I have been your age, it is to your credit that you recognize that being a part of something much bigger than you, inspite of the sacrificies, you can serve our country as well as achieving a personal level of meaningful purpose (in that order). The enormous value in being able to contribute to the greater good is one of the highley esteemed and coveted rewards that the SF opportunity holds for those who qualify and can fit in.
I am a Ranger in tab only however, it is my personal opinion that if you can think "out of the box" and more importantly, do it on your own as well as with others you will have meaningful relationship with SF. There are many "QP's" here that far exceed my personnal team time and experience, they have much to offer, so "listening" is a good thing.
Best wishes to you in your endeavors to recapture AD status and pursuit of a contribution to our nation through the SF venue, you will find no other experience like it in all of the world.
