Greetings all. I found this site through snipershide.com in search of some quality info on SF; From what I have seen so far I am enjoying my stay.
A little background about me: I served four years in the army as a 14E (Patriot Air Defense) and left after my enlistment completely dissatisfied. A lot of that was due to the fellow soldiers in my unit who were either over-weight, unmotivated, or just total dirt bags that only assisted in bringing down the morale of the rest of the troop. Lest I forget a few certain leaders I had that didn't help matters much either. I did manage to earn the rank of Sergeant and attended Air Assault and PLDC, so my time was not spent completely in vain.
So to catch up to present day, I have been working jobs here and there for the past 2 years and trying to get the most out of civilian life that I can, attending college as well. However, I have been throwing around the decision of re-enlisting as an 18X for the past 3-4 years of my life, and I've finally decided I want to do it. After so much soul searching, I believe it is what I am meant to do in life, and I will put every ounce of dedication and motivation I have into it.
Lastly, one of my buddies I came up through the ranks with (E1 to E5) is in SERE school as I type this, and he's been giving me info and helping to fuel my motivation.
That about sums it up for now, I hope I didn't waste to much of your time for you to read this. I'll chime in if I feel I have something productive to add. (Which given the amount of information here, I doubt that will happen for awhile.)
BTW: I have been playing the guitar for 10 years as well, obviously that would be my number one thing to do in life, but it doesn't quite pay out so well unless you are extremely lucky.
