Hello to everyone
Hi there, I'm an active duty NCO, currently across the big pond. Due to a prior injury I have not pursued SF, but I'm healthy again and my packet is in and I'm ready. I'm back, stronger and better and am here to continue to learn and research various topics on training and the lifestyle of "quiet professionals."
That last line says it all for me, pretty simple.
I'm an avid outdoors type guy and am fanatical about PT and living a healthy lifestyle. I am married and a father of a great little girl and have 2 years of college. Life is good, but nothing worthwhile is easy, so I push hard and do whatever it takes to move forward.
There are alot of smart folks here and thanks again for letting me be a part of this site. Nice meeting you all and Thanks again....TKS

myself
Hi there.
2LT, Infantry, just finished Ranger School and am signing into the 82nd. I have a lot of things to do first before I start thinking about SF. I would like to prepare myself while I do my job and get ready for the next steps. I have some high goals and want to keep abreast of the process. Thanks for letting me in.

GandG NP. He is also partial to college grads. I need to ask him sometime, which are his favorites.  The combo is a no brainer.
Welcome to the site............

NDD - be good, no scaring away the new young LTs, yet. Give GnG time to ripen a little, might taste better.

Thank you to all for maintaining this site. It is a very useful source of information for civilians like myself. I have been a long-time lurker.
I just turned 25. I have wanted to serve in the military for a long-time, but have allowed myself to be distracted by opportunities that I mistakenly thought at the time where opportunities that I could not pass up (I am about to graduate from Harvard Law School). No, I am not trying to be an arrogant prick and drop the "H-bomb" (I probably despise "Ivy-Leaguers" as much as anyone on this board). I'm just trying to explain why I foolishly let myself become sidetracked from my dream of serving as a "quiet professional."
I am planning on joining the Army sometime in Fall '07 (I need to work for a law firm for a year to pay off some debt before I can afford to join), although I'm not yet sure if I want to enlist as an 18x or go to OCS and (hopefully) serve as an infantry officer for a few years before becoming eligible to apply for SFAS.

LnM-
watch out, NDD isn't very nice to college grads / Os - odd though, he's probably better educated than a lot of my college buddies - hell, I know he is, he's an 18D - college was a joke after that course.
