Intro
Just an interested college kid looking to absorb as much knowladge as possible. I've been lurking for a while and decided thats its only fair to let you QPs know who I am.
I've filled out my profile, but I wont be posting much (at least not until I decide to ink up an 18x contract). If/when I post I will make sure that its pre researched and well formulated.
I cannot thank you veterans enough for putting together such a priceless source of information and allowing us civilians and SF hopefuls a glimpse into Special Forces culture.
Respectfully,
Luker

Hello everyone!
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to review the wealth of information these forums provide.
Currently a college graduate and the Operations Manager in the financial industry. I've been fortunate enough to captain my college lacrosse team as well as win a National Championship way back in '98  No children or wife to worry about either (no, this is not a personal ad)
My youngest brother will receive his Green Barret in February '07 and no words can express my respect for his dedication and duty.
I've just recently decided to and join the U.S Army and serve our country for at least the next 15 years. I'll be joining through a REP-63 contract and I hope to gather as much information from these forums as possible prior to my departure. Thank you in advance for any help.
Regards,
Dan

I know a few that have earned the Green "Barret". (Most of us on here have earned the Green Beret.)
Welcome aboard Dan. Sit back and do some more reading.

I have a green ArmaLite, is that close enough to a Barrett? Can I play?

Welcome aboard doc! An echo and I were talking about being in Sudan earlier this year and both agreed that you can never have to many docs.

Hello all,
It's great to find this site. I live south of Bragg and the majority of my friends are military, many Airborne, and some SF. I'm here both to help myself understand their world a little, and because I have always been a military history buff. Like somebody said here recently, surround yourself with good people if you want to improve.
As to myself, I was in AFROTC a couple years and was DQed for asthma, otherwise I'd be sitting underground with the keys to some ICBMs now. When they raised the Reserve and Guard enlistment age recently, I started going after a slot in my local Guard Cav troop, but thought better of it because even if some general signed a medical waiver, I might be putting others at risk. Also I ran the numbers and saw that being deployed on E-4 pay trying to cover O-5 bills would not work.
So I went through Basic Law Enforcement Training and became an auxiliary deputy sheriff. That scratched the itch, and I've asked to move to full-time. My day job is lawyering, but knowing what I know now, I wouldn't have bothered with the legal stuff even though I can work my legal career around the patrol schedule.
I'll be lurking much more than posting, but now and then there might be something I can intelligently comment on. Thanks from the Land of the Free to the Brave who serve here and over there.
