Make sure you get everything in writing showing that you officially renounced your Canadian citizenship. There might me administrative fees involved during the process, but make sure to get EVERYTHING in writing.

Greetings gentlemen. I have introduced myself on here before, and just thought I would hit this first since it has been quite some time since my last login. I just returned from SFAS class 02-07 a few days ago, and am now on emergency leave...yay. I just wanted to take a second though to say thanks for all of the valuable information on this site, and the book "get selected" was an incredible aid as well. Also, if anybody has some decent ideas on material to submerge myself in (i.e.: movies, cassettes, cd's, etc), besides Rosetta Stone and the language software they give you, I would greatly appreciate the suggestions. I landed on the lucky language of Arabic, and actually just came back from Barnes & Nobles, looking for aid materials for the subject. Thanks again gentlemen, and looking forward to working with you all in the future.
~Nick

X sf Med, I meant no arrogance by my screen name. I just thought is was quite a clever play on words, or in this case, play on name. If there is a way to change it, I would be open to that, so that there might not be any confusion in the future with the way in which I esteem myself. Again, sorry for the confusion. -Espi

SP4 Espinoza,
You will not ingratiate yourself by capializing the 'x' and the 'm' in my screen name while leaving the operative 'SF' in lower case. I am using a screen name from somewhere else that would not allow capitals in the middle - otherwise the SF would be capitalized. Since I've earned the title QP, I was allowed a little leeway in my screenname -you, young man are not allowed that leeway. Look at the posts I've put up - in ALL cases except my screen name I use SF or Special Forces.
As to your screen name - did you even consider the audience? Or, are you just plain blind, or ignorant? (ignorance does imply choice) Humor of that type does not translate very well electronically, especially if you are trying to get selcted to go to SFAS and then the Q - remember the QPs here are the guys who will be making some pretty heavy decisions in that area - your humor failed and you came off as a smart ass, unintentionally, yes, but first impressions count and boyo, they are hard to change.
Send a pm to TeamSergeant, Kyobanim or Dan to get your name changed.
You seem like a fairly intelligent kid, lacking in SA (search button will find this term). You'll learn.
See Dai-ui Steve's comment above, he's a man of few words - I spelled it out for you.
Merry Christmas.

Introduction
Greetings gentlemen, thank you for the outstanding site. I’m a full time police officer and an Air Force Security Forces Reservist. I spent several years on active duty before getting out and joining the AF reserves. I found out about this site from SpecialOperations.com, where I’ve also been lurking and learning for a little while now. I’ve been interested in Special Operations for a long time, and have become more and more interested in Special Forces. I’d like to thank all of you for your service and sincerely appreciate the opportunity to enter your house and learn more about your world.
Thanks,
|

Sirs/Sergeants,
My name is Will Cannon. I am enlisted in the NCARNG as an 18X. I am 24, a recent college grad and work as a paramedic. I sincerely appreciate this forum, and my permission to participate. The information I have found here has been extremely helpful. I begin BCT on 13 February 2006 at Fort Benning. I hope that I am found deserving to begin SF training.

Pete,
Sorry I didn't catch the error! (really says alot about what they taught me in college!) That would be very difficult indeed. I will be attending BCT 13 February 2007. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Introduction
Hello, I have recently become one of the members of this fantastic website and I will introduce myself accordingly. I am currently under the 18X-Ray option and I have just finished my OSUT training as an infantryman. I will head to Airborne school, SOPC, and Selection within the next two months. I am nervous and excited, but I think that to have a shot at the Special Operations world is an incredible opportunity awarded to very few. So thanks for listening and hopefully one day I'll be within the same ranks as some of the operators on this website, perhaps talking to them face to face.

Good attitude Sluggo. Now go hurt your body....

Hello gentlemen. I'm currently a 22 year old med student at Johns Hopkins and joined this site to better understand what my brother wants to become. He is currently in the 18x pipeline and lurking around here has been beyond helpful with getting to know the SF mindeset. Thanks again. (Now I'll get back to lurking!)
