Long time lurker, first time poster on this site I did 6 years active duty with 3/504 PIR (now 1/508 PIR), I've done one tour in Afghanistan and two in Iraq and am now an IC. I came across this site in my random browsing and saw how informative it was.

introducing
Greetings all, my first post and introduction on here. For a lil background info, i'm 22 and from Texas, joined the Marine Corps right before my 19 b-day, i'm a Marine infantry rifleman (MOS 0311), currently doing work as a MP until my contract is up in June of next year. In the two times I went to Iraq and came back I had very few instances to work with the silent professionals but when I did I always came away thuroughly impressed and in awe, i've always had a interest in special operations forces, but especially Army Special Forces (I have a sister and brother in law stationed at Ft.Hood as well) and have and still am considering following down that path, but whatever happens is as the Lord wills it. I wanna wish everyone on here a very merry Christmas and a happy holidays to all.

Gents,
Wanted to make a quick introduction.
I am currently the S3 in an AFSOC cop unit. During my last AD assignment (nuc security) I had the priviledge to get a small dose (8 week mod-SFARTEC) of training through N-G. Our instructors were recently retired from 3rd, 5th, & 7th Grps. I thought we were going to learn some really cool "tricks of the trade" and quickly clued into "mastering the basics" is the trick...and then looking cool doing it! I like the way SF trains and the professional respect SF gives and demands. I am trying to instill that mindset into my current unit...of course getting the "we don't do it that way!"
I will glean as much from the previous posted forums as possible, but will probably ask a few questions to bridge the gaps.

Hello, all. New here. Was invited to join another site by an SF Medic several years ago- if memory recalls it was either in 7th Group's S-3 office or it was in 1st BN's Med area. Didn't have time to surf then, but do now- and took me some time to find out where he had gone to (I think this is the place)!
All of my PCS time has been at Benning or Bragg- hopefully it stays that way. Thanks for setting this site up- great stuff!

I've heard a lot of good things about this forum and after reading through some of the threads, I am more than impressed and feel like there is a lot to be learned on here.
I go by Matador275 on Socnet and ArmyRanger.com and decided to change it up this time with the s/n. I'm a former 2/75 guy, who's been contracting for almost three years now in the sandbox and am currently 6 days and a wake-up away from heading out of here for a while.
I appreciate the opportunity to be a member here.
