Hello all and thank you very much for having such a terrific forum as well as making it available to anyone (smart enough to follow your instructions that is). I am a part-timer in the 961st En. Bn. I am finishing up my direct commission packet at this time and torn between two fields. I am trying to decide whether I want to become a military intelligence officer or commit to the more difficult goal of becoming an 18A. I have done a lot of research and will continue to do so until I am confident I can make the proper decision. If I were not happily married with two wonderful daughters I would most definately go infantry and become a full timer so that I could become a Ranger and then go the next step. Once again thank you for putting together a site like this and I will put the info to good use.

Welcome aboard. Perhaps if you can define what you expect from serving as an officer you might better be able to reslove your branch dilemma. While all officers might be able to define themselves by pay grade it is the branch that they choose that defines them and charts a path for the future.

Intro
Hello, gentlemen. I stumbled upon this site while researching SFAS. I enlisted into a 'Guard unit in March, hoping for a SFAS slot in Oct. maybe Nov. I am abit on the "mature" side, but I hold my own. Just trying to pick up anything that might help. Thanks for being here.

Hope you enjoy the site. Take a moment to review the "stickies" so your posting in the right area (and also so that the Team Sergeant doesn't eat you)

Introduction
I grew up in the US Air Force -- lived in several countries, including Thailand, the Philippines, Canada, and the United States. After High School I enlisted as a private -- 2 years in FA (Ft. Carson) and 3 years in AR (Cp. Casey and Ft. Carson). Recently graduated college, and intend to rejoin the US Army, preferably as an Infantryman.
The military is my life -- I cannot stand being a civilian. My focus at the moment is on guerrilla warfare and on preparing myself physically for the military; everything else is secondary.
I would like to learn every aspect of counterinsurgency operations, which is why I am here. Hopefully no one noticed my first post was in the wrong area.

Hello all. To all vets and those currently serving, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!! 
I go by the same screen name everywhere. Im a little of a board whore these days. 
I served with 3rd batt for about 1.5 yrs, before injuries caused my leaving. I was an airlando commando in OJC. No mustard for me. I look forward to checking out the site.
RLTW!!!!!

Ranger Luna -
Please fill out your profile -we like to have some clue about the guests on the board. Also, read all of the stickies prior to posting - they'll give you an idea of the standards of conduct, grammar etc.
If you get on this quickly, the mods probably will not blast you too horrendously.

You will find good people here, to include the Mod's! 
More to the point, this site is a little harder edged than other sites!
