Introduction

Gentlemen,

I just joined the site a couple of days ago, and am writing my introduction. I'm attending the SFAS class in December, and wish I had found this site a little sooner. Presently, I'm working in Germany as an Intelligence Analyst/Security Manager. To give you a little background, I spent five years in the Marine Corps over at 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, and got out. It wasn't long before I realized that the civilian life doesn't appeal to me, so I joined the Army with the expectation that I would try out for a Ranger unit or Special Forces. While I was in the Marines I was an Intel guy, so the Army wouldn't even think about letting me re-class into a combat arms MOS. Intel is great job though, so I've had a chance to learn the "Army Way", and train for SFAS.

I have a beautiful wife, and a dog. The wife supports my SF goals, and has stuck with me through a couple of deployments in the past. I fly for class in the very near future, but this forum has been a great tool to just keep my head in the game by reading posts by Silent Professionals. Wish me luck in the course, and hopefully my training will sustain me.
