Just wanted to introduce myself.

Looking forward to becoming an Echo and going to 1st Group.

I've learned a lot already from this site.

Thanks, Mark

Hey My name is Spencer Alan Reiter of SAR custom knives, I had a conversation with Bill Harsey and he encourage me to come over and take up his slack.

I served 10 years 3 month and 18 days 11b3V, all my time was spent on the line with the 25th ID, 10th (M) and a stint as a O/C at JRTC. I was recently put out on a medical discharge as a SSG (P)
I started building knives about 2 1/2 years ago and have seen some relative success with a few designs. I met Bill when he lost his cool and fired around over my bow we talked came to terms and became friends, I am very luck to have a veteran maker like Bill to call on when I cannot figure things out.

While I was a O/C I had the opportunity to work for a Col. Meadows, hands down the best bos I ever had the chance to serve under, common sense prevailed 99% of the time. He also gave us a great LPD on his Father Dick Meadows involvement in "The Son Tay Raid" good stuff.

I have been married to the same women for about 10 years we have two children Daughter Taegan 6 and son Ethan 4, my wife Corbe is currently in training to make Leather and tactical nylon gear.

I will have to read up on the rules and regs, figure out when I can post some pics not mention see what topics are going down.

Thanks Bill for the invite

To All,

Just wanted to introduce myself, as per guidance.

I am a retired 18Z. I am originally from San Diego, CA. I joined the USA in 1984 as an 11B, after 3 years went to SFQC for 18D. I spent my operational time in 1st SFG from 1988 to 2000. I finished my career as an istructor / NCOIC of SOTIC at Bragg.

Since retirement I have work for a small company (Patriot Performance Materials) in Sanford, NC. We manufacture armor and tactical gear.

Thanks for the site, I plan to visit and stay in touch with the online SF community.

Regards to all,
Mark

I am an 18C graduated APR07, 21 years of age. I entered 4/5th and have been attending various schools. I am heading out to Ranger here in a week or so, and I plan on referring to and learning from the expertise and experience of the other members of the site. I was an 18x, straight from high school, with a little bit of automotive mechanic experience.

Welcome CubJP!

Keep your powder dry, pay attention to detail, and remember that you have more ass than they have teeth.

Gentlemen,

I have been lurking around your forums for a little more than a week now, and I feel like I should introduce myself, as I am finding that I am here often. My name is Trey and for the last several years now I have had a keen interest in Special Forces, but for one reason or another have not pursued joining the Army further than meeting with a Recruiter. I have several things to over come before I can take this challenge on but, I have decided to attempt to earn a place in the 18-Xray program my reasons being I would rather attempt to serve with people as serious as I am out of the gate. If not then I will do my best in the regular Army and try again when/ if I'm eligible.
Currently I am a Home Health Aide, working mainly with hospice patients. I enjoy the work, mostly meeting and working with all kinds of people. But, its not where any of my goals lie.
I thank you all for the wealth of knowledge here and your Service. I already read a vast majority of your forums, but, I am looking forward to reading the rest, and of course all the future posts.

-Trey

Ranger School in January...have fun with that.

Winter Ranger School was the most physical, mental, and emotional misery that I've ever had to endure. Never been so cold, ever, in my life.

Good luck with the challenge!
