Hey everyone,

I begin OSUT as an 18x'er 20060102. The information and opinions on this site are appreciated. I hope that I have the privilege of someday meeting and serving with those who have provided their advice and occasional verbal pummelings. If you want to know anything not in my profile, just ask.

I'm new to this site, some high-speed friends linked me to it. Live in CA., working OCONUS currently. Should be stateside in Dec. to see my 4 month old boy for the first time. Will be stopping in/out for sporadic intel/sitreps re:SWA. Later brothers. MIKE OSCAR...OUT.

My name is Adam, I'm from Groveport, Ohio. I am an 18X DEP, but I am striving to be an 18B. My hobbies include firearms collecting and Airsoft simulations. Special Forces appeals to me because I am motivated to learn and work to the extent of my capabilities and would like to work with people who share these same traits.

Hello all! This is my second time posting on this site. I originally posted w/out a proper intro, sorry. So here it is...
My name's Joe. I'm a 28 year old Marine veteran living in CA. Served in the Marines with the 7th Regiment(3rd BN and 1st BN), based at MCAGTFTC 29, Palms. During that period saw tours OCONUS as part of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force while designated Regimental Combat Team-7. Now doing some contractor work overseas. I want to learn more about SF and give a shot at a NG unit in CA upon my return, I understand the 19th Group has a unit near my home. Will contact them in the near future. Until then I hope to browse the forum as a learning tool and pick the brains of those who are SF qualled. Thanks for your timme and the great forum to learn from. Always eager for knowledge. Later...

Hello,

My name is Alex. I am currently a high school student in Canada, including this year two years away from graduation. Some day I hope to join the ranks of the US SOF. But until then, all I can do is get physically prepared and read what this forum and others have to offer. Thank you very much to all you Quiet Professionals and others who have created this forum. With out I would be much less informed.

Sincerely,
Alex

Hello everybody,
My name's Kurt. I'm a Non-Qual (13F) in 1/A/19th up in Washington. While sitting in the school pipeline, I've taken to working security contracts. At home, I do construction stuff, and I'm currently awaiting my first child.
Hopefully, I can be of some benefit to anybody that is interested in private contracting, though I haven't been overseas with it like many of my coworkers. I also look forward to seeing what you all have to say. It seems like everyone I've met from the various Groups has had a very unique experience. (And it never hurts to learn lessons the easy way.)

Welcome Home,
Kurt

Greetings.

Some friends suggested I stop by and post my review of the Blackhawk Serpa holster. I see that Smokin Joe has already given the highlights from the Arizona class. I cover a bit more details and some other incidents with the design in my review.

I figure an introduction was in order, just so you know where the info is coming from.

I was an 11H with the 25th on active duty, followed by stints as a 13F, 12B, 11B and 95B in various National Gurad units in Louisiana and Oregon.

I was a cop for awhile. Quit that three years back to be a stay-at-home dad for my kids.

I've been a training junkie for the last decade or so and I teach with a couple of different training organizations. The primary class that I've assisted with over the last year consists of a bit of livefire pistol work and then a bunch of FIST helmet and Simunitions work done at contact distance. In that class, we see a lot of gear failures and a lot of stress induced issues come to our attention.

I hope the review is of interest to some of you.

Sincerely,

Paul Gomez

I'm an illiterate bastard who should have spent abit more time figuringout where to put my intro.

I'd like to introduce myself...my names Nick...im technically not new to this site...ive been reading the forums for awhile, but i figured its about time i join the party and start taking some more detailed notes.

Tom Odom · 11-07-2005, 08:52

Just a note to introduce myself. I retired from active duty in 1996; my final 30 months was as the US Defense Attache in Zaire (now Congo) and Rwanda. As the DATT in Rwanda, I had an ODB and 2 ODAs from 3rd Group working for me in establishing the US-Rwandan demining Office. I was a FAO for most of my 20; my overseas tours besides the last one were Turkey, Sudan, and Lebanon-Egypt-Israel.

I have written 3 books and co-authored a 4th. You can see my posting on that under area information regarding Africa.

At present I am the CALL military analyst in the JRTC CALL Cell.

Best all,
Tom
