Sorry, for the lack of an introduction. I have been mainly a lurker on this site for a year or so, some of you might recognize me from some other boards. I am a civilian, I was drafted in 1972 and medically disqualified due to a heart condition. Since that time, I have suffered both a stroke and a series of heart attacks, so if from time to time my typing is substandard, that is my story and I am sticking to it. I have a great admiration for the military and especially the Special Operating Forces and hope not to wear out my welcome here.

Intro
First off thanks for the opportunity to join your forum, I've just finished my service with the navy where I had the chance to work with some sf personnel. I've always admire the specops community. I’m looking into continuing my service with NG and I’m planning to tryout for the 19th SFG. This is a great site with lots of good information. Thank you.
Respectfully,
Tom Viktor

Hello everyone. I have been lurking for a while reading through all the great informantion from this site and trying to learn as much as I can. I recently ETS'd from the Army on April 30. Since then I have realized civilian life is not as grand as I thought it would be. I miss being a soldier. Right now I am getting in shape mentally and physically. I have been in contact with 20th SFG and hope to get a chance to become a member of their team. Thank you to all the "QP's" for this forum and their insight.
-Jim

To whom it may concern:

I hope to join the ranks of those who are most 'quiet.' I thank them for their contributions to the United States of America.

Introduction
Hello,
I’ve been lurking around here for a while, but never got up the nerve to post : ) I accidentally picked up “Five Years To Freedom” at the local library when I was a senior in high school, and it entirely shifted my world view. I’m realistic enough to know I’m not cut out for any kind of military service, so I stuck to science as a career because it’s what I do best, but spend plenty of my time and resources supporting our military as best as I can. I’ve lived a wonderful sheltered life, but I’m well aware of the sacrifices being made on my behalf. My appreciation for all you do is well beyond words. Thanks for having me as a guest in your house.

Interesting introduction!
A few on this board knew Nick Rowe personally. See if you can find the Rocky Versace, Medal Of Honor thread. That may not be the correct thread title, but it's close.
What field of Science? My wife is a scientist.

Ugh, Cpt, LillyA filled out her profile to include her scientific field of study. 
Welcome LillyA
We've got a couple of scientists on board.

I am familiar with your wife’s work. I read “The Broken Brain” while in college, and I picked up “The Creating Brain” earlier this year after reading the reviews from Scientific American. Very interesting read. My focus is more on molecular neuroscience/neurochemistry, as my background is in biochemistry. I enjoy my work, but my goal is to do a PhD in Neuroscience in the near future and keep doing research 
I believe I’ve read all that’s available here about Col. Rowe, but I will definitely double check in case I overlooked anything. Thanks for the tip.
And thanks for the welcome.

If it was there when I looked at, I missed it...I don't belive it was.

Hi
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to stop in and introduce myslef, but first I would like to thank you for allowing me to join this impressive board. I am currently a senior R.O.T.C cadet attending WIU, and hoping that I branch MI, or Infantry, I would love to branch 18A, but that's not going to happen anytime soon. So, once again thank you.

You can't branch SF as a newly commissioned officer. It isn't an option.
