Hello all. Prior service active duty Marine (2004 to 2008) with two Iraq deployments here. Graduated college, learned Russian, and am finally looking to pursue the dream to become a Special Forces soldier via 18X program. I wish I did it earlier, but better late than never! I look forward to learning as much as I can from this site.

Hello,

I am a student who is considering pursuing an 18x contract when I become age eligible. I would like to serve my country, and I greatly respect the men and the mission of the Special Forces. I joined the site to learn and seek advice.

Thank you for your service.

Hello, I've been a member for a few years and never posted an intro. I'm currently a student at IBOLC and am due to attend Ranger School in January. This site is a great source of info and I look forward to continue learning from here.

Hey everyone,

Prior service Hospital Corpsman with 5 1/2 years in and two deployments to Iraq. Been out for five years, stayed busy, but never lost the "service bug." This finds me currently in the process of joining the MDNG. 20th SFG hopeful. Attending the next prior service SF briefing on the 6th in Glen Arm. Probably gonna get pretty good to go information from that brief, but any guidance from the BTDT's on this forum would be tremendously appreciated. Look forward to talking with you all.

First, thank you to the creators of this site. I've found it to be very informative and inspiring. Soldiers, past and present, thank you for your service and sacrifices.

I am a 23 year old 13 F PFC currently stationed with 2-82 FA, 1st Cav at Ft. Hood. I am currently working on preparing for SFAS but cannot begin SFQC until September 2014 because I just PCS'd here last month. I spent 12 years living in Fayetteville, NC and have had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with many fine 3rd group men who have inspired me to want to be a part of this elite group.

I'm not there yet, but give me a minute or two.

Good afternoon,

I am currently a college senior. I was an Army ROTC cadet for a few years, but am no longer in the program.

Currently, I plan on seeing a recruiter around December, and ideally getting an 18x contract for after graduating college. I am quite determined to get one.

Until then, I've been/will continue doing PT and reading, especially on this site. I've learned a lot already, and I am genuinely grateful for the unique opportunity of attempting this path in a time when a resource like this can thrive, technologically speaking. Thank you.

I posted here several years ago and then again recently but did not post an introduction.

A while after I returned from RVN, where I was with the 1/7th Cavalry of the First Cavalry Division, I went to SFQC in the summer of 1973 (class 1-74). Since then I have had deployments several times to Central America, including Operation Just Cause (1989), to Korea and a number of CONUS sites.

I spent 19 years in SF and retired in 1992 as SGM of Co B, 3d Bn, 12th SFG(A).

Hello all. I am 22, active Army. I'm a vehicle mechanic currently deployed. I've been drawn to Special Forces for a while and I am hoping to attend selection shortly after my unit's return.

Hello, I am a 28 year old college graduate and after too many years of awful unfulfilling work in the private sector, I have made the executive decision to follow in my uncle's footsteps and do all I can to earn the honor of wearing the green beret by signing an 18X contract. I have long term goals, but i am keeping my eyes on the 25m target with selection in the 10 ring.

I have read Get Selected!, SF/Ranger workout by Stew Smith, hired a personal trainer with much USMC infantry (Army, much less SF, is hard to find in San Diego) experience for general weight training, and PT twice a day, 5-6 days/week.

Hello, I am a 23 year old student and plan on signing an 18x this coming spring. This past year I got married and moved from AZ to NC to be closer to my wife's family. I love this country and I can't wait to serve it. I am so happy I found this site and will be glued to it until I leave for basic! Thank you to all the QPs that post on these forums!
