First off....Thank you for this site!!!!

I am 29, and have just joined the Army Reserve as a 21C. I am thinking that I may have made a mistake by joining the USAR versus AD. I have a degree, and I have a strong desire to make a difference in the World, but feel that I should be working and serving as a warrior that knows how to use his heart, mind, and intellect.

Right now, I am concentrating on leaving for OSUT and moving past this stage in my military career. After this, I will either be looking at comissioning options or options to move to SF. At 29, I know I must start making decisions so that my age does not prevent me for achieving something so incredible through hardwork and determination.

I am here to research my options and determine what I can do to be a stronger soldier and hopefully a solid candidate at SFAS.

I will not ask a question unless I have exhausted my options(outside of calling someone at SOF Command). I will read and head everything that I can to help become more informed. I will respect those who have been there and done that, and will avoid disrespecting them. I want to be a good soldier and I hope to earn my keep.

Also...I am looking for a SF mentor, if anyone would be willing to give me the time of day.

Out!
