Hello everyone. I joined this site last year and just realized that I never introduced myself. I haven't been on here much because I have been busy with training for my job for quite some time now. All my details are on a public profile. Just a quick rundown on me; I am a criminal investigator (Special Agent is the official title but that just means I work investigations) with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and I think I have the best job around. I have been on active deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and other places. All of AD time came from being deployed with Georgia NG. I am both 11B and 19D. I got to know some SF professionals overseas and was impressed by the fact that all of the members were humble and didn't hesitate to educate us on the go. They taught us plenty and it was evident why they earned the title QP. I joined this site because I am impressed by the amount of experience and knowledge on so many subjects here. I likely won't post much but I know that I'll learn a lot.

Hello, I'm 34 years old, currently in Afghanistan with 3/7 CAV 3rd ID. I'm a SPC looking forward to learning all I can from you all. My purpose here is to observe, learn, and retain all I can from the experienced QP's. Any mentoring and/or coaching is extremely welcomed. Thank you all for your service past, present and continued. I strive to live up to what is expected as a soldier, and a professional. Scouts out!

Hello,

I am a 27-year-old engineer and mountain rescue volunteer. I recently enlisted as a 68W (option 4) to serve my country and further develop my proficiency in emergency medicine. I greatly admire the professionalism and commitment to excellence of the SF community, and have an appreciation for what I understand to be the unique missions SF teams engage in. I'm looking forward to the long, hard road which will hopefully lead me to join the brotherhood.

Respectfully,
Kito (ImmerVorwärts)

Hello all,
31 year old 37F (prior 31B) currently downrange somewhere in the CENTCOM-AOR. I have had the pleasure of working with many Quiet Proffesionals over the years. I plan on taking my career to the next level and attending SFAS in the fall of 13. Staying humble and trying to absorb all the information and experience on this forum. Thank you.

I am a 29 year old police officer for Tucson PD. I ETS'd from the AZ ARNG (1-158 INF Scouts-Snipers PL) as an E-5 in 2013. My plan is to link up with the 19th Group in Utah. I am married and have a daughter. I would like to raise my family in Tucson and stay on Tucson PD while also serving in 19th Group in Utah. I enjoy browsing this site to find the information I need to be successful and not waste anybody's time.

Good evening,

I enlisted in the Florida ARNG as a 25b in 2010 when I was 17. I am aspiring to become a quiet professional, however, I understand there is a lot I have yet to learn before reaching my goals. Thank you for having me here, I read the valuable knowledge and wisdom this website has to offer often. Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you wish to know anything more about myself, please feel free to send me a private message.

Respectfully,

Hill

Hello

I'm Javier K., 24, and from Texas. I am an 11b in the Guard. My release is going up the chain of command and I am hoping to enter the pipeline in the Spring.

Good Afternoon All! and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I want to start off by saying thank you to all the QP's for your service and dedication. My name is Mike and I'm 26 from NY. I am currently serving in the NYNG and am looking to be released so I can obtain an 18X contract on AD. I have been on the sight a while browsing through the many post out there and have learned alot of things. I expect to learn alot from you guys who are currently QP's, candidates, and even those who didnt make it through the course. The wealth of knowledge on here is great and I hope to use that eventually when I go through SFAS but first the 25m target which is getting a release and working on PT. Anyways once again im Mike and thank you for your service.

Greetings,
My name is Anthony, and I'm finally introducing myself after about a year of reading posts on this site. Although I've never served, I am the son of an x-SF soldier, and am interested in the SF way of life. Thank you all for your dedication and service.
AS.

I am a 22 year old 18x recruit currently in the middle of my AIT at Ft. Benning (holiday block leave until Jan 4). I will be going to airborne school sometime in February and then I will be going to Ft. Bragg. I have heard that this website was helpful in many ways so I am looking forward to finding out.

Scott-O · 12-25-2012, 15:16

Howdy All,

My name is Scott, I am a recent (MAY12) Q-CRS grad. I PCS'd to Panzer last summer and have been enjoying my time getting 'mentored'. I will join my team in JAN when I return from a super-fun BTL CPT job (that has at least given me some perspective). I've been reading the site alot without joining over the last couple years and always appreciate the extra perspective that I'm able to glean from the QP's-- thanks TS for creating a forum where FNGs like me can learn and keep from frequent crank stepping. In addition to that, I find the extension of team room humor comforting-- as an o if I go more than 10 minutes without getting made fun of, there's something wrong...

Other than army stuff, I'm really into cycling and triathlon-- I've completed somewhere around 30 IM 70.3s and IMs. So far the Q-QRS killed that hobby and I'm doing my best to get back into long distance shape.

Jason1986 · 12-26-2012, 01:17

My name is Jason. I used to weigh 440, and currently weigh 220. I am honestly half the man I used to be. I lost the weight in order to join the military. I was planning being an infantryman in either the Marines or the Army. Then after talking to an Army recruiter, finding this site, and reading a book by Major Joe Martin I think I may give the 18X my best shot once I lose some more weight if the program is avalible. If there is to long of a wait I may just sign up 11B,Volunteer for Airborn training , and Volunteer for Special Forces ASAP. Then again if there is a long wait that is more time to get into shape. If I give it my best shot and fail I get to be an Infantryman (win-win) plus I can test again latter from what I understand.

One problem I have is that while loseing the weight I have gotten very very old.

I am now 26 and will be 27 in July, and therefor from what I have gleaned I only have three years.

I did have lots and lots of questions to ask you guys but after reading the forums for the last few days and finishing Major Martin's book, I don't have anymore questions that I can think of at the moment. I am going to get some more of the books recomended on these forums by the QPs and do some more browsing.

Hello all,
My name is J (Team Sergeant Edit, no full names) I am currently a sophomore at Pennsylvania State University. I do have a scholarship through Army ROTC, and I am currently striving to achieve that Commission! I came across this site simply by google searching many questions I had pondered about the life after CadetLand. And my googling led me to this GoldMine! I am looking forward to studying as much as I can from this site, I am extremely grateful for this site with the abundance of knowledge one can gain, not only to become a better soldier but also to develop and become a better man all around. Thank you all for your service, and I look forward to my stay here. May it be long and prosperous.

Very Respectfully,
J
