I would like to humbly introduce myself to the Staff, Quiet Professionals and members. I would like to Thank You for allowing me to be a part of your community with the vast amount of knowledge available here. I have been reading non-stop for the past few days...LOL!! I actually got a headache from reading so much last night!! But this site has so much quality information and the Quiet Professionals and Staff here have been so helpful with all my inquiries. The long story short is: I have been a 19D(Cavalry Scout) most of my career. I have 3 deployments, the last of which was to Iraq OIF '05-'06 and ran missions out of Al Taquuaddam(TQ), but spent a few months at Corregidor, Ar Ramadi, Fallujah, Baghdad, and was literally all over Iraq. I was originally running missions with a PLS platoon and volunteered after the 1st month to run missions with 101st out of Corregidor. I got back from Iraq and was sent to OCS by my BN CMD. Now I am the PL for a Stryker Platoon of Scouts. SCOUTS OUT!HOAH!! Love Wearing that Cavalry Stetson w/ my Spurs!LOL!

I have always been one to challenge myself as a soldier and as a man. I recently have enrolled in Ranger school, but plan attending SFAS and SFQS immediately afterwards. I am not a "tab chaser" or anything of the such, I just want to be the best soldier and leader I can be. I beleive with Ranger School and SF training, I will be one step closer to acheiving this. I have the utmost respect for the Quiet Professionals and I hope one day I can have honor and priviledge to walk among your ranks.

Almost forgot: 12 yrs TIS; 6 yrs Active
