Intro
Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Gabriel and I am currently filling out the paperwork for the 18X contract, DEP as soon as I can after May 17 '05 (Last day of exams).
I just found this site last week in a very roundabout way. I am a member on the Tuckermax Message Board, where I learned from Reaper 375 about SOCNet about 6 months ago, and from SOCNet learned about this site. Reaper 375, SOCNet, and Hoo-ah.net were the primary causes in from pushing me from being a life long admirer of the military and SOF's in particular into someone who decided not to spend the rest of his life wondering "what-if".
I couldn't be more grateful for all of the information I have gained from these two sites (as I know many of you post on both), and hope to learn even more over the coming semester while I finish school and prepare for the 18x pipeline. Sorry about the long winded post, but I wanted to say thanks for the website, and more importantly for what you did and or do for us all.

Welcome aboard Gabriel. We won't hold that happen to know that Reaper90210 against you until next week.
You can also tell those fine people over there at Tucker Max that although he wears a 7th Group T Shirt all the time, and I mean ALL the time, he is not a green hat. Its a prison bitch thing.

Hi, I am Darryl. I am not in the Army, but am en route to become a Navy Corpsman. I have the desire to become a SEAL and eventually a Doctor (or Nurse). And if you shall pardon my boldness, I look forward to accomplishing both. I have a great respect for the military as a whole and hold especially high the professionals of the Army Special Forces. I appreciate being able to learn from the posts made on this forum.
Regards,
D. Z. Dimaquibo

Greetings. This is my first post, so I thought I would introduce myself.
I am a career active duty NCO in the ARNG, with 16 years of service and 8 MOS's. I also moonlight as a high-risk security consultant, and I teach martial arts/self-defense/combatives in my dojo and across the country when honored with the opportunity to do so.
I have tremendous respect for the special operations community; my interactions, both on mission and socially, with this special group of soldiers has been very enlightening.
I am honored to be allowed to participate on this board.

Welcome aboard Jeff Cook. If I can be of any help with the profile page, please let me know.
There are several martial artists on the board, and one guy who gets beat up by girls with Shodan rank.
Enjoy the site.

I gave that 7th Group T-shirt away long ago... actually, to Tucker.
Stop emailing me, asking if you can have a 3d Batt PT shirt. No means no.

I jumped out of a few planes. Went to a place where they taught you to not breath underwater like a PADI diver. Went to a little school with some pilots where the people were very nice to me when I smiled and did not remember my number. Shot a lot of weapons. ECT...ECT...ECT... Have a very nice paddle. Was in the oil and gas business for a while. Went to the sand box to see what was going on. Now teaching the Navy how not to shoot them selves in the foot.

Welcome Brett,
Don't let the Colonel talk to you like that.

ausgezeichnet!!!
Hello All.... I served with SF from '69-'71, the majority of which was with the 10TH SFG(A) Bad Tolz. Gawd I must be getting old. Doesn't seem as long ago as the math would indicate. Well since I don't feel old, Im giving up the math. Outstanding site! But actually the title describes it best. I'm sure quite a few of you out here know why and I'm sure Jack Moroney does. Been poking through the forums, sure are alot of changes since my day. One thing that hasn't changed however, is the professionalism, skill and knowledge that I've noticed out here. AHHH enuf of me, looking forward to reading everything offered out here.
The DZ's are getting smaller and the water is getting colder......
