As a quick introduction I work for the game America's Army. I Just recently found this site and thought it looked like a great place to keep up to date on military information and opinions. I will try my best to use my knowledge and experiences to not come off as a complete wanabe annoyance, thanks for you patience.
I'm sure you guys aren't big on excuses, but I did make sure and read all the rules and sticky's I could. (including):
http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/...ead.php?t=3452
While viewing rule #2, "2. Introduce yourself with your first post." I was unaware this introduction needed to be at base camp since my first post was attempted in general discussion. Which that area's sticky only declares to make sure one's profile is appropriate.
I was also told not to post outside links, but the rules page seems to just demand no nudity or unauthorized ads assuming the post in "on topic."

Welcome. Your best bet would be to hang out and see how things go. I would recommend reading the Team Sergeant's Office threads just to get a feel for how not to post and what not to ask.

Greetings,
I've been here a while but somehow I managed not to do this.
My profile has been filled out since I started lurking here a while ago.
I'm a professional designer, illustrator, animator, pixel pusher, artist type. (Something you folks might've seen recently is I produced the website for the 9/11 memorial erected on Staten Island...masasono.com if you're interested).
I was first introduced to the existence of Special Forces via the John Wayne and George Takei movie when I was a tot in the 70's. I went to the library and read Robin Moore's book a few years later. Have always fostered in an interest in history of the Untied States and the rest of the world.
Thanks for having me 
j

Not really new here, but I've been absent for a while now so I thought I should re-introduce.
I'm an 11B2P with the 82nd... been to Iraq & Afghanistan... married... another daughter on the way (1-2 weeks until the wife pops)...
Was set to go to SFAS but had some family issues to sort out. But I'm back on the path to bigger and better things again, just waiting to head off, give it my best, and take it from there.
That's pretty much it for my re-introduction.

Sir,
Tread lightly and very carefully here. I don't think anything in your life to this point has prepared you to converse with men and women of this caliber. Yes I've seen your work. Again, tread very carefully.

Tag alle!
I am a former 11Bang Bang 1Papa with a long lineage of family service to both America and Germany. My sister is still serving and getting ready for her second mideast deployment. Flight Medic.
I put in 8 years with the US Army before my knee and back put me out on a bad jump. I miss it every day and fought like hell to stay in. The same week I got home I was back on a bus to our MEPS station trying to find something for the Army to give me to do. No dice. Nothing like trying to stand down all these years.
My father did two tours in the 'Nam flying guns and later medevac. His wife left him his first tour. He was the only to wake up after his last ship was shot out from him and they went in. He taught me about fields of fire and MOUT long before the US Army did.
I'm a born boonie rat.
Thanks for having me.
Si vis Pacem para bellum.

Mea culpa - not first post!
Having realized after joining forum in June that I hadn't done this yet, time to make things right.
I have absolutely NO military background. I joined so that I could get some info, and occassionally ask questions on the board, or PM others if necessary.
I joined as my son is in the Q course.
I am grateful for this forum, as I have learned much, and have enjoyed some of the stories and ideas shared.
