28 yrs old, was reservist since 2008 and now I am in active to reclass to 35P.
Prior MOS was 68W and looking to build professionalism through Army as my career.

Native Speaker as 35P and hope find my way into SOTA, I was language contractor in bragg before and that open my mind and makes me want to go active instead stay as reservist.

Any tips about SOTA will be appreciate.
as far as I know, get 280 on PT, volunteer to go Airborne. then the new course for SOTA, and as 3/3 DLPT native speaker I should be in good shape. There is any age limit for SOTA?

Thanks y'all.

I am currently an artillery PL/XO in the ARNG. I'm also a civilian police officer. I'm 27 years old and still hounding my chain of command for a chance at ranger school. I've all but given up hope of going to ranger school as an artillery officer in the guard (one of my largest military goals not yet achieved), so I've been looking at other options (one of which is possibly resigning my commission). Since looking into the special forces option, I've become obsessed with it. I've read books, articles, forums, etc. I'm taking the next step now, and hopefully I can gain some insight and wisdom from the many quiet professionals here. I look forward to chatting with everyone who is willing to offer some advice! Thanks!

Retired 18Z. Served 23 years with 18 in the Regiment. After retirement worked 8 years as a DoS WPS contractor/instructor. Now semi-retired, give private hand gun instruction in my AO, and do a little consulting on occasion.

Quite a few guys I've worked with over the years on here, so I figured it was about time to become a member. Glad to be here and thanks for the admission.

Currently in the Army and just looking for more information on SF. I have friends who are in the pipeline and just thought I would read up on it more.

Hello all, I'm looking into signing a 18X contract along with a fellow battle buddy of mine I was deployed with in 2009. I graduate Fall 2014 from the University of Miami, however, I want to stay on the enlisted side first and hopefully get picked for 18D. If Army needs dictate otherwise, so be it. Thanks for the plethora of information on the forums!

Hi to ALCON. I'm a newby guest, retired US Navy (Surface Warfare). I noticed that a few of the 18E guys were referencing some of the AN/GRC-109 / RS-1 radio set information that I had posted elsewhere. The resulting thread was interesting.

I'm here to learn and maybe answer some questions about vintage portable field commo equipment if I can. OPSEC always....
Thanks, Tim

Hello,

I am a 24 year old who does not currently service in any military branch but joined this forum to gain more knowledge of SOF. I have grown up in a farming community in the Midwest my hole life and played college football. Unsure of what to do after college I have a good job working at a heavy equipment manufacturer. But it has been on my mind to enlist and be apart of something bigger than myself much like I found in athletics .

Thank you for all who contribute to this site and to all who serve in for the United States of America!

I've been retired since 98, with 28 yrs svc. Ret as 00Z5P and called Bragg home for at least half my career. Most of the time I was 91B/54B, but as most know you roll a whole bunch of other stuff, letters and numbers into the pot. Spent time in Tolz, Vicenza and places further south and East. I guess I just want to keep somewhat in the net. Now I live in the Redoubt in a 12x16 cabin and command chickens, goats and dogs. (absolutely no sheep need apply. I instructed at 300F1 but never wore the green, always maroon. That being said I just could'nt seem to keep away from you guys. Everytime you started something I got pulled in. Anyway this feels like home. I came across this site while looking for an old friend named Pat Brogan, sadly I was a little late. Thanks for the gathering. Some may know me by my old call sign, Rockydoc.

My name's Ian, I'm 22 years old, currently serving with 4/2 CR out of Rose Barracks, Germany. I am married to the most supportive wife, we have no kids. I set a goal for myself at the beginning of my military career (just over 2 years ago) that I would continue to work and prepare myself to attend and pass the Q-course. I and more than eager to learn all there is to learn about Special Forces and the community as a whole.
