Good evening all QP's and board members,

It has been awhile since I have been an active member on the Professional Soldiers board, and have found myself back here to find some answers to some questions. The search function will be my AO during my time here. Thank you for being here for all of us.

Gentlemen,

My name is Aaron, I am a PS Marine getting ready to come back to the military after 10 years. Looking at a 35W position to get some language training and other deployable skills before I see if I have what it takes to fill the large shoes(boots) of a SOF team member.

Hi Quiet Professionals as well as other board members,

My name is Ian. I am a college student that has enlisted and is scheduled to begin life in the Army as a 68W next summer upon graduation. I am here to gather more information about attempting to join the ranks of the Quiet Professionals- being able to achieve this would bring me no greater honor.

Thank you to all current and former members of the military on these boards for your service. A special thank you to all of the Quiet Professionals that have devoted much of their time and shared much of their vast knowledge on these forums with many aspiring soldiers.

Hello,

My name is Jeff, and I am currently an 18x contract waiting to ship to Ft Benning to begin my path towards SF. I decided I wanted to do something with my life that I could be proud of, something that I felt like I was making a difference, and I wasn't getting that in the civilian world.

I also was overweight, out of shape, and spent most of my time on a computer.

I did research, months of it, and decided that after years of considering it, to get off my ass and do it. I might not be in the best physical shape of my life yet (although I am working on it), but I do have that drive. I am 100% committed to "tab or cast".

I was fortunate when I began to work out to meet a 25 year SF soldier at the gym, and have been working with him for a few months now. He has definitely been an inspiration, and a mentor to me in regards to the SF world.

See some of you at selection in several months!

- Jeff

I am a 74D that is preparing to ETS after 8 years of Active Duty. I joined this site to find more information on 19th and 20th Groups in hopes of joining a unit in a support role.

I have been to selection before, the winter of 2004, however I did not complete the Star Course. I had intended to go back through but between deployments and trying to get a degree I never completed my goal.
I fully intend to go back through the Q-Course upon completion of my bachelors.

Thank you for sharing access to your site.

First and foremost I apologize, this isn't my first post. While I realize I can't get another first post, if there's just one thing I've learned in the Army its that if you make a mistake man up to it, fix it and learn from it if possible, then drive on without making the same mistake again.

As for the introduction, I'm a 25B, stationed in Germany with the 173rd ABCT. Got back from Afghanistan relatively recently, that was my first time, and I'm sure it won't be my last. I've been in almost 3 years, so I'm still new to Army, but enjoy what I do.

I really enjoy this site, and have found more information here about SF than in just about any other site, or really anywhere around. I hope to be able to contribute in some way. For the most part I'm really looking to be able to soak up some of information and knowledge it seems the individuals on this board posses.

If there are any questions of me, all you have to do is ask.

Sal,
Welcome aboard! It's an honor and a privilege to have you here.
Please know you are among friends, some of which you will meet in a few weeks at SHOT.

If nothing else, the available history of the United States Army Special Forces here is remarkable.

You are far too modest, sir.

I'm here, mostly, to learn from the greatest military "Teachers" there are: the United States Special Forces Professionals.

I will reciprocate as able.

You ever think of a wildcat in 7mm on a 31 or 51 mm brass? I know there's a lot of interest in the 6.5--- .6.8, But I think it may be a better workup for one of those "magnificent 7s". just a thought. Blitzzz.
