Welcome aboard folks.

Chief, there is no life after the Army, just memories, dealing with mediocre squabbles among folks without purpose or direction, and having that warm and loving feeling that you too are now just a inconvenient addition to the DOD's budget line that they will look for a way to eliminate or reduce at every opportunity

OK TS, we already have some riggers here. And as an old Rigger and 3/7 guy, do I rate special attention (that's something I don't need)?

Welcome All.

I have been a long time lurker and was recently convinced by surgicalcric to post an introduction. The quality and quantity of information available on PS has been a huge professional asset. I hope to continue to learn from the experienced professionals and utilize the search function.

NPS Guard-guy from 2/20. I am an 18D student currently in SFMS. My language assignment is Arabic. "Projected" graduation from SFQC is Nov. 07.

Prior to enslisting I worked in the language services industry.

Hello all,

I appreciate this website and am glad to see something of this nature.

I would like to give a little information about myself.

I am currently an 18x and set to leave to OSUT-2006/11/16. I have been training for the past few months to prepare for all that i can, before i leave. The more i learn the more i want Sf. Im not a picky guy and dont care what mos to be honest because that a long ways down the road.

If anyone has a leave date as i do it would be nice to be in contact.

thanks,

Please use proper spelling, grammar and punctuation. People will judge you by these skills, or lack thereof, throughout your military career. All caps, or lack of capitalization in typewritten communication will brand you as lazy, not a good thing, especially if you are an 18X and the people on this board might be your instructors, and if they are not your instructors - they know your instructors. This is your first impression to the SF community, how do you want to be perceived. So far, I'm not impressed, I'd send you back for remedial English classes.

Stick around, you will undoubtedly find friends here.

my name is Tracy, and I have been interested in SF ever since I heard stories as a child. I thank you guys for making this site and for those, such as Maj. Joe Martin, who have helped those aspiring to be SF through such ways as his book.

Hello All,

I have been lurking in the shadows for a few months, enjoying the various threads. I just registered recently. I served in the shadows for many years. And now I live a quiet and obscure life in the shadows. During my career, I lost 90% of my hearing in a demolitions accident, so life is definitely quiet. This disability is sometimes a plus, now working in the civilian world one has to deal with so much complaining and whining over the most trivial and insignificant situations. It is extremely uplifting to see so many young men volunteering to carry on the fight, and willing to work so hard to achieve their goals. I intend to observe and enjoy the threads. Thanks for the great threads. Have a good ‘un.

Hello all,

I've checked this site out a few times before and it looks like it is a good resource with a lot of information to provide. I just recently got selected and am looking forward to the rest of the course. I probably won't post much if at all, I'll just be lurking around and trying to learn. Thanks for having me and providing this site.

**Jack Moroney (RIP)** · 10-20-2006, 13:41

Welcome aboard Frenchie and congratulations. Stay focused, this is only the beginning.

Welcome aboard everyone, especially those who have and are serving in the military. Thank you.

rogue8261, sorry about your injury but you describe exactly why I work by myself as much as possible.
