My name is Tim, and I'm currently an E-4 in the USAR. I spent 9 months in Iraq in 2005/6 with the 220th TC as an 88M. I've been in uniform since I was 17 (22 now) and had grand plans to be an army aviator or, failing that, SF... unfortunately the army had other plans. I've had the honor of brief encounters with different members of the SF community a few times, and it's always something I enjoy. I've been trained by you guys a couple of times heading to the box and while I was there, and shared brief conversations whenever I could upon crossing ya'lls paths... I am always pleased to have got the chance.
I'm here because I didn't get to do everything I wanted to in the army, and life has changed for me now. So I like to learn, watch, listen and live vicariously through you guys. I guess you can say I'm an enthusiast of the tactical mindset.
I don't know if I personally ever had what it took to become one of you guys. I know statistically, probably not. But, to you QP's out there... I want to say I am honored to wear the same uniform as you guys. Each one of your lives is worth 100 of mine. Stay safe when going into harms way gentlemen... our world needs guys like you too much.
Take care all.
