My Introduction
Introduction,
Hmmm... I am just a military retired, and still hard working southern gentleman. Proud of my son who graduated Q, top peer, 01 December 2006, now a legacy. Immediately he got himself to the sandbox to go to work (18E). It was an honor to pin him and to counsel him through the rough times.
He told me about your site when I was up for graduation.
Thanks for the gathering place.
Maybe I will see some of you all in Orlando. (our H.O.R.)

Introduction; 12BMAT
Good day everyone:
I would like to take the time to introduce myself. My name is Matt and I’m 36 and a 12B. I am currently in the North Carolina National Guard.
I have been in the process of self training and preparation for the SFAS and will be attending SFIP in April.
I look forward to reading and learning form the members of the forum and putting that knowledge to study and use when I go to SFAS.

Hello
Greetings,
Figured I would post my 1st post already after reading through many of the threads. Just some basic info then, SF has been my asperation since I was 13, my uncle was SF so... in my youth I already saw what I wanted to become. Joined the Army alittle over 3 years ago, currently deployed for OIF, I have been lucky enough to speak to a few operators while in theater as well. Mainly joined the website to pick up any additional information while I am over here, I was originally speaking to a SF recruiter prior to this deployment (hence how I found out we were leaving), however, I do own a (now raggy) copy of "Get Selected" and the main point the Major does go over is mentors. So I looked up his link and here I am at your door step asking for any knowledge available.

Long time lurker...
I am a Marine 0211 (Counterintelligence/Human Intelligence). Our main charter right now is attaching 6-man teams to the grunt batallions in Iraq while conducting tactical human intelligence. This entails interrogations primarily, then some other things. I am the recruiter for our MOS here in Okinawa, Japan.
I love my job, as it's extremely fulfilling, and I get to see things develop from beginning to end (i.e. interrogate bad guy, get info on another bad guy, grunts roll up bad guy, I get to interrogate THAT bad guy, and so on...)
I have a terrific wife (she is truly a gift) and two great kids, all three of whom are the most important people in my life.
I got sucked into this site while researching some different things. A wise man once said, "If you want to be successful, surround yourself with successful people". I guess that sums up why i'm here. I love to be surounded by professionals. That's why I love my job.

Sacamuelas...nice.
Jawbreaker definitely sounds WAY cooler than Molar Remover. Molar Remover sounds like the arch nemesis of Capt Colgate, the tooth decay fighting superhero that we all learned about in 4th grade.

Danny-
Welcome aboard, Marine.
Please fill out your profile - you're 1/2 way there, the stickies make it clear both an intro and a profile are required. Be glad I asked nicely before one of the mods hit you with an ugly stick.

Welcome Marine, what he said!
Can't find my stick, it's set to "Stun" anyway!

Thanks guys.
I'm not much to look at in the first place, but I try to avoid encounters with ugly sticks as often as possible.

Second time back
Its great to know that this site is still active, The last time I visited this site was before I left for Iraq again in late 2005. But I am back and hope to learn as much as I can from these fine Professional gentlemen. Since I've been gone so long, I'll introduce myself again. I've been in the Army 5 years now as an 11B and assigned to 2BCT 101ABN. I'm 25 and hope to make the military a career. Thanks!

Welcome back and thanks for picking up the torch for those of us no longer able to do so. If there was ever any doubt in your mind, know that I, and most everyone else I know, are proud of you and appreciate your service as well of all the rest of those of you serving today.

Introduction
Been lurking and learning since I registered, doing all the required reading to build the SA up. Excellent site. I had an experience in the box with an ODA and all of the stereotypes were thrown out the door, by far the most professional soldiers I have ever worked with. The impression they left on my junior Marines lasted the whole deployment. For me, it was the little things they did. The basics, and the attention to detail. It's a privelege being able to learn from these professionals now. Thanks for the site, I am looking forward to the professional development that will follow.
Spent a little over 10 yrs in the USMC, 0311 (infantry), active and reserve, now with the NG. As a civilian, I work for a large metropolitan fire dept as a technical rescue tech. Staying a student of my trades thanks to sites like this.
Thanks for having me.

Hello, Gentlemen.
My name's Joe and I'm a Marine veteran now pursuing a law enforcement career back in the states, and am in the hiring process with several local and a couple of federal agencies. I've got a supportive wife and healthy baby boy who are my greatest driving force. I would say that I'm an ordinary person with a few extraordinary skills (thanks USMC).
Like resctech, I had a brief experience in the sand box as an 0311 where we interacted with an SF ODA. Nothing but Professionals and a lasting impression for sure.
To any of you who are on here and worked with the Marines over there in '03...I'd like to say, "Thank you gentlemen, it was an honor if even for a short while.".
Since that day I have been interested in the SF lifestyle and found this website via a trip around the "GOOGLE" block. I am contemplating trying my hand at giving the 5/19th SFG a shot. I understand they have some sort of detachment or Co. up here in Redwood City. This is a very informative site and I will use it wisely.
I am honored to be a guest in your home and will act and respect your rules accordingly as such.
Thanks again, gentleman.
