Been reading and observing socnetcentral's forums and the mother site for about five months now. Was recommended reading by my sister, who is now in the USN. Both my father and grandfather served in the USN as well, and I am surprised my father has no problems with my goals regarding the Army. I've seen professionalsoldiers.com referred to numerous times over at socnet, and read good things, so with it being dedicated to the Special Forces, I thought it would be a good idea to come and read these as well.
I'm twenty three years old, and currently preparing for enlistment, SOPC, and SFAS, while working full time to take care of my remaining responsibilities so I have nothing to worry about financially and personally when the time comes. Planning on enlisting some time in Feb or March. I am currently training alone, but would be very welcome to a SOF soldier mentor in the Tempe/Phx area. I don't have much money in return for mentoring, but I would do what I can.
I appreciate every piece of information and experiences extended by you gentlemen (and ladies). Without forums like these, and Major Joe Martin and MSgt Rex Dodson's prep book, the path ahead of me could be a much rougher trek.
This may not be much coming from a young ignorant civilian, but thank you all for your services and valour for our country, and I hope to have the chance to serve along side of warriors like yourselves.
