Introductions III

[Crispy129]

Whoops, I'll have to put my second post here, my bad.

I found this website when I was searching around on the internet for more information about SF and preparing myself for SF. I am from Huntsville, AL and currently in Army ROTC at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach. I'm a senior/MS IV and will commission this Spring. Hopefully I will be going to Airborne School around January or so if they don't screw up my paperwork again. I just branched Infantry and will find out my duty station and training dates later in the Spring. If you want to know anything else just ask.

I am a retired SF baby. 10th Group 1982-2003 (ODAs 213, 026, 041, 046 and some staff time of course).
I recently discovered this forum. Well done.

Hello, I am a civilian living in North Carolina. I'm a history buff with emphasis on the military. I have found this forum to be informative and quite interesting. Thank you all for the privilege.

Honored to be here Gentlemen. My brother served in CCN, and recommended reading SOG A Photo History by Plaster before reading his book about his time in RVN. I have had the pleasure of personally meeting some A team members at a gathering . You may see me lurking around alot, but not posting. There is much to learn and digest and I appreciate the opportunity .

Gentlemen,

I am a SWO out of San Diego and spend most of my time with VBSS. I was turned on to the SF option by some MARSOC Officers on my last deployment and have been working on my IST since.

I have a good deal of experience with languages; primarily German, Spanish, Pashto and Arabic.

I appreciate the opportunity to be a guest in your house and learn from the knowledge you share.

I've been reading this site for a few weeks and finally decided to join. I first found the site looking for information on the "Dalton Fury" fiasco. A buddy of mine told me to check out this board. Thanks for the professionally run site. It's a breath of fresh air compared to the drama clubs on other forums.

My name is Austin [that would last name, not my first. I haven't used my first name in three years], but I go by the online handle of Zion. No religious connotations intended.

I've wanted to be a Quiet Professional since long before I joined the Army, but I've only hit my three year mark recently and finally got some imbalances in the strength of the tendons in my knees worked out [hazards of one of your unit's Docs being a Ranger I suppose. No matter how many times you see him he gives you Motrin and sends you on your way ].

I'm working to square myself away now, as well as incorporating land navigation into my ruck marches [My Lt has a map of the post he said I could use, I've got a protractor, lensatic compass and know how to plot points. It's the pace count and shooting my azimuth I need work on].

I'll shut up here in just a moment. But first I'd like to say I am very thankful to be able to read the insight and knowledge of all of the Quiet Professionals here on the board. Thank you Gentlemen, it's an honor to be allowed in the presence of you all.

Update 11/04/2008:

I am re-enlisting into the Colorado National Guard as a 68W. I have many 25m targets to execute but my long term goal is to transform into a soldier and become mos qualified. I am looking to qualify for WCAP (Taekwondo). For you professionals in the 5/19th, I'll be looking into trying out.

In the mean time I will continue to up date my introduction and read; not post.

Welcome...

Remember if the pain is above the waist it's Motrin, and below the waist it's Foot Powder.

Don't forget that the "N" in Ranger is fer Nowledge...

I feel honored to be able to share experiences, knowledge, and opinions in a forum that caters to professionals in the field. I have a very eclectic background and I hope it serves as a resource for those who wish to exchange points of view.

I was an environmental consultant before I joined the military, and I joined the military not as a career opportunity nor because of any other reason but that of a sense of social responsibility. Freedom is not free... if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

I hope to learn from all of you here and put my grain of sand on those topics I believe I can share my opinions or experiences on.

And for all of you that have shared the burden of keeping the ideology of freedom free for those who choose to be free... Thank you for your commitment and your sacrifice.
