Hello

Hello everybody. I stumbled into this site by accident. I served 6 years as an 11b in a MNARNG unit. During those six years I had the privilege of working with a SF team in Bosnia in 03-04 and did a 16 month stint Iraq where I occasionally was involved in operations with SOF among other things. I also met a member of a 2/19 E-7 type at the U.S. embassy in Iraq who peaked my interest in Special Forces (unfortunately I miss placed his business card) and encouraged me to look further into SF. I’ve been extremely impressed with the professionalism, technical and tactical proficiency of those SOF personnel that I’ve interacted with.
Since then I’ve been in college, but it feels like I’ve been missing a piece of the pie. I’m positive 2/19 will be getting a call or visit from me in the summer. Until then I’ll be lurking in the shadows listening and learning. Stay safe!!! Thomps
