I look foward to learning from the extremely diverse knowledge and opinions out there.

Gentlemen,
Ksduckhunter here, not too tactical, but the same moniker that I use on all the internet forums that I visit.
A little about myself, prior service w/ medical background...now regretting my decision to ETS, but that's the hand that I was dealt at the time. Now living in Kansas and working in IT for a state agency.
I have a "shoestring" relative in the 160th that some of you may know...
Just snooping around and hoping to learn more about the community. I do have a couple experiences though that I may have questions about...
Thanks for the opportunity.

Hello
I'd like to thank all of you for allowing me the privalige of letting me be a guest here. I've been in the Navy reserves as an Intelligence Specialist for three years, and I am putting a package in for Army OCS. I participated in the ROTC program at North Georgia College where I met three Quiet Professional who made a tremendous impact on me.
Thank you for your time,
Craig

Hello everyone from Texas, I'm a early 30s father of one, married man who comes from a family of Warriors. My Dad's father was in the Army in WWII and served in the Navy during the Korean War. My dad missed Nam, and I came in at the ass end of Desert Storm. I spent some time in Gitmo helping baby sit Cubans at Camp x-ray. I injured my back, and had to learn to look elsewhere for my future. My wife's late father was a Nam vet who served in the Marines, and her mother works for the Govt. I have two brother in laws one served in the Core, and the other was a supply sergeant in the Army.
Anyhow, Hello and look forward to learning, and just shootin the breeze.

Hello !
Hi, i just stumbled across this site and thought id stick around awhile if yall dont mind. I spent 2 yrs with the 82nd in 3/73rd armor ( when they still had sheridans). Unfortunately i was young and stupid ( funny how they go hand in hand sometimes) and was politely asked to go play with someone else. after a 10 yr break in service i decided enough was enough. i missed it. so i joined the natinoal guard. after going to a 2 week mosq course (11B) i was immediately put on state orders to prep to go to iraq. i spent the entire part of a year there in a gun hatch covering my buddy's asses.i currently am still in the guard in arkansas and work full time at my armory. i've always been interested in special forces. I dont know if i'll ever try to join, but i always take advantage of gaining knowledge from the men who know. i have filled out my profile and hope that i am posting this in the correct place. If not, on the spot corrections are greatly appreciated.Again ,thank you for allowing me to spend this time learning from your experience and knowledge.

No I'm not from SOCNET? But I did look it up. Thanks for the info.  I was injured. I had just reached my year mark for boots on ground and had just escorted a white convoy from Navistar to Tilil airbase which was a candy run for us.(get back in enough time for a little stretch before our not convoy escort). Well the AF security would not allow the non-military drivers in and we had been waiting in the holding area off camp for about three hours when our new PL told us to drive the flatbeds ourselves and help unload them so we can backhaul and get home. While alot of the equipment chained on the back of the flatbeds had moved or something causing alot of pressure and we were having a hard time get the chain bindings off so we had to use breaker bars. Well I went over to the last binding on the truck I was working on slipped on the breaker bar and the binding snapped smashing the breaker bar into my face. Broke the lower jaw and fractured teeth on the upper jaw. A bittersweet injury if ever there was one. Spent a whole year lucking out and then this happens. Saved me another 5 months of Iraq, but cost me 2 years already of medical, and took me away from my team. I'm going insane being stuck in limbo as far as life goes last couple years. I can't go forwarded in any aspect of life until the medical is done. Everything happens for a reason and I just roll with it all the way. I'm taking this time to learn and grow as much as I can.
