Hi to all
My name is Con George-Kotzabasis and I'm a former board director of SBS TV Australia. Being a tyro, in this field, among professionals the reason that I've joined this forum is to learn from them while at the same time attempting to make a contribution.
Already I've made some mistakes by jumping the gun, i.e., not introducing myself before posting to a thread, which I did, and I apologise for infringing this rule.
Now that I introduced myself I'm ready to jump with both feet into the fray of fire, and while getting burned hoping to learn from it.

New to the boards.
Hello everyone,
My name is Mike and I'm shipping out to Benning in a few weeks. My contract is for 18X. I'm very excited and looking forward to it immensley.

Thank you for allowing me to poke around
Hello Everybody-
Thank you for allowing me to peek around your house. I frequently stalk these and similar site. I have been a huge supporter of those who serve for as long as I have been alive. In fact, it was all I wanted to do until life decided it had different plans.
But, to make a long story short, I am in formation with the Capuchin Franciscan Order and I wish all of you well.
Believe me, I have many friends who serve and I will keep all of you also in my prayers and hopes.
Good luck.
God Bless
-Matthew

Howdy Gents,
Just a civilian here reading anything I can about everything I'm allowed to learn about. I'm mostly hear to read and maybe ask the occasional firearm question - but I'll ensure to wear out that search button before I stick my neck out too far.
I know enough about the military to know that I don't know anything about the military - so it's pretty much mouth shut, ears open from here on out.
Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of these forums, and even more so - thank you to the BTDT's for your service.
-Matt

Introduction
Hi all - my name is Mike. First, thank you for allowing me to join your forum. I am prior service 11B1P E-5 looking to come back in on an 18X. I just talked to the recruiter today - he says prior service army can't get the 18X - but since my ASVAB scores are so high, I can reclass to anything else... Seems from what I've found so far on this forum, he may not be accurate. Looking for any information that can assist me in getting to SF!
Cheers!

Greetings All
Followed a link to this site while reading about the Dragon Skin controversy. Retired SF Company SGM with over 31 years service in SF. Spent time in the RA in 5th, 75-79, and as an instructor in SWC, 84-87, in the Advanced Skills Department. Rest of the time was spent in 20th. Retired in 2004 from 20th after returning from AF. Hope to renew some old friendships and acquaintances and establish some new ones.
