Hello there,

I have been in the Army for nearly two years and I think it finally time to try for what I have always wanted deep down. When I originally joined the Army, the MOS choices that I wanted were not open, so I took something local in the Reserves until I could get my G.E.D. upgraded to a full diploma, as well as adding some college credits onto that. No more "profile" units where a good amount of lazy soldiers make it by on their profiles that they do not need. No more lax rules, no more non enforced discipline for my unit SOP. No more taking it easy....I want more.

I want to try something that I have always felt a calling for deep down. Not simply something that I wanted to do. This is something that I know I have to try out for. I've looked at many options in the Army before deciding to enlist as 18X, and I also have talked to many people as well. I have been to these forums quite often, and have read them many times even before creating my account here.

I have had several Special Operations men, and a former SF guy teach me some PT tricks...but I know that the ultimate success or failure lies within how much I am willing to push. So I have come forward to try this since this seems to be a calling for me. I was never satisfied elsewhere, but I feel satisfied now as an 18X. I'm mostly here to read, maybe ask a few questions, and then I only plan to come back and give advice IF I earn the right to do so.
