Hello all,

My name is Nick and I am currently a freshman in college, enrolled in Army ROTC. I originally wanted to enlist right out of high school, but my parents would not sign the necessary paperwork, so I decided to join an ROTC program until I figure out what I would like to do. Recently I have been looking more into the 18x enlistment option, and so far this forum has been a great resource of information. Even if I decide not to enlist, and instead go through ROTC for a commission, I one day hope to be a part of SF as an officer.

KiloNovember out.

Welcome all.

KiloNovember,

I had the same problem at 17 with my parents not wanting to sign the necessary paperwork, a little waterboarding and a few hours later, they signed.

Just kidding.

College is always a good idea before or after a military career.

Good afternoon Gent's.
My name is Joshua and I am currently serving in the National Guard as an 11B. I've got about two years of school until I get my B.S., and then I'll be going to the Active side of the house specifically to become a Special Forces soldier (enlisted). I've been lurking this site for a while, and have gotten some great information.

On the civilian side I like beer, cars, and women; not neccesarily in that order. I've taken up skydiving as my new hobby, but it's getting pretty expensive very quickly so I'm putting it on the back burner for SCUBA diving. I enjoy running and have ran in a few half-marathons for fun. I also plan on becoming a luthier for a hobby, and I love collecting guitars.

Thanks for having me.

My name is Andrew and I am very interested in Special Forces but will try to mostly read instead of post since am not 18 or older yet. I plan on becoming either an 18B as an enlisted or 18A if i join the army as an officer.

I apologize if my introduction post came off as me being an arrogant officer. I should have chosen better word's to specifically convey my point. I am here on this forum to learn from those that have had the time and experience in a profession that I wish to hopefully one day become a part of.

I did not mention the schools I have attended in my initial post because I didn't think that it mattered. I think that LONGWIRE hit the nail right on that head and irregardless of how many schools or badges you have they don't necessarily make you a good leader or competent soldier. These are precisely the two things I am striving for in my military career, and why I wanted to join this forum. I want to be a good leader and competent soldier and could care less how many badges I have.

For LONGWIRE and SNAQUEBITE I have been lucky and blessed enough to have attended Ranger, Airborne, RSLC, and Pathfinder as a junior officer. As mentioned above I meant nothing by my previous post for coming off as an arrogant officer. I consider myself an ambitious person and want to better myself every opportunity I have in order to hopefully one day uphold the high standards that an SF officer should posses.

Thank you for your time and I hope that I was able to clarify the situation.

Good Recovery Sir..........Eyes and Ears, Eyes and Ears...........

No other opportunity will confer as great an honor, as great a fulfillment, as great a purpose than to stand at the vanguard of American foreign policy as a special forces soldier.

My life mission to earn the coveted green beret begins January 15th. This website serves as an invaluable preparation tool.

Hello everyone, and thank you Mr. Ambush for the help in posting.

My name is Scott and I've worked at Randall Knives for almost 25 years now.

I can't begin to tell how proud we are at RMK to provide knives for the military personnel and to receive such an overwhelming response.

I've been invited by Mr. Harsey and look forward to meeting new friends here on this forum.

Scott,

Welcome aboard. I'm sure that Mr. Bill informed you about our House!!

I have probably met you at either Shot or Blade over the past 2-3 years.

If not, then I look forward to meeting you at Shot '08.

As TR said, we thank you folks for your support of the SF community.


Take care.
Martin

Welcome aboard Scott!
Thanks for all you folks do at Randall Knives.
Please do not hesitate to post some pics of what you are doing, if you want.
I'd like to try and do some justice to the great history of Randall Knives.

AM,
Yes I told Scott this is a forum with an unusually high degree of decorum and professionalism, just like where he works.

Much belated introduction. I'm an ex infantry soldier who has two sons currently serving in the army. One is in third group and the other is a sniper in the 82nd. Both are home now after deployments.

Gentleman,
I have been a member of this site for a couple of months now and am grateful for the opportunity to learn from the members on this site. I am currently in PhaseIII (18e course). Been serving for 9 years now. I have had the honor of serving as a commo support guy for 2 SF Groups (2/5th and GSC 1st). I am looking forward to learning more from the members of this site and to contribute once it seems I have earned the right. Ultimately, I look forward to completing my training and joining the ranks.

Thanks
