Reaper, that's what I was trying to say in my intro. I'll apply for 18A when I reach 1LT.

Hello
Hey all,
Found this site by accident one night, looked very interesting. Thank you for the opportunity to join.
Ive been a medic active duty and NG for 5 yrs, got to work with numerous SF groups in Afghanistan in 03-04'' and Iraq in 06' as an embedded trainer with the Iraqi Army. I def. caught "the SF bug" working with them. After I finish up college I plan on going 18D.
Cheers,
RT

When you enlist, what do intend to do?

RR- shootin' for 18X; since I'm so 'old' they want me to retake the ASVAB on 15 Nov., then down to MEPS in San Antonio for the physical and 'career counselor'.

Mr. NotME,
That wasn't it. Try again.

Intro
Hello, I was directed to this site about a year ago and have never posted. I am currently a Special Agent with the Norfolk Southern Railway Police. I cover 9 counties in two states. I have never been in any SF unit. I served from 1981-85 in the USAF as an SP, Indiana Army NG from 1992-95 and from 1999-2000 as an 12B and 11B. After 9-11 I joined the Navy Reserve as an MA-2 and was activated in 2002.
I have over 12 years civilian LEO background ranging rfom PAtrol to Internal Affairs. I look forward to what I will be able to learn here, Thank you .

Introduction
I'm NotMe. It's tough to tell about yourself when you're NotMe, but I'll try again, and thanks for the 2nd chance  . I am an Army E-8 with a little less than 14 years in service. I've served in SF units almost my whole career, but I am not a QP. Proudly I will tell you I wish I was! I fought for years to go to SFAS, but was not allowed due to administrative restrictions at the time. I did get to Ranger school, but I don't put that in the same category. Thanks for letting us all join in this great site.

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.

COL Rowe was my boss and was scheduled to be again before he was assassinated in the Philippines. He was personally responsible for getting me back into SF after a significant injury nearly ended my career. COL Rowe would be very grateful if he knew his book had had that effect on you. I'm glad you thought enough of him to mention that. All the best.

Welcome aboard Sir.

MH and I were in the same SFQC class.
Glad to see him back in here.
Nice avatar, hermano, drop me a line sometime.

Hello all. My name is Devin. I grew up in the military, served 6 years in the Air Force as a Meteorologist, and married a wonderful Soldier about 3 years ago...he is registered here as well--JBOUR13-- and we have our dog, who is like our child.
I run a small business out of our home and haven't had much time for anything else that I enjoy lately...shooting, researching, reading, spa days, and catching up with the girls. We just moved from the DC area so I have been trying to get our house in order as well. One of these days, I will be able to relax...for a minute 
I am not completely up on the Army lingo, so I am hoping to learn some of that here, as well as some other things-- it'll help me to keep up with my husband 
Thanks!
