Intro
Hello all,
My name is Jason. One of my friends just shipped on the 18X program. I have been lurking for awhile and thought I should introduce myself. I feel that I have an obligation to serve in some capacity, and the Special Forces interests me the most. I just graduated with a BS in Electronic Arts focusing in Multimedia and a double minor in Computer Information Systems and Web Application Development. For the record I also have an Associates of Applied Sciences in Computer and Network Support. Now that my background is out of the way, I would like to say that I have already learned a great deal from the information provided on this site and have ordered Warrior Mentor's book.
I have much to consider ahead and I appreciate all input.
Thank you,
Jason

Don't think so.
Drop me a PM with the details, hermano.

Just registered today, looking forward to corresponding with as many of you as I canl. Been a Police Officer in NJ for 18 years, carry the HK USP .45 as a duty weapon, bushmasters carbines in the trunk and 870's if needed. Did a two year hitch, 11B, 9th inf, Ft Lewis. I Kinda have a feeling that I have some unfinished business that needs to be taken care of but I'm too old now to get back in. Anyway, I'm already enjoying the forums.
Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state.

I retired in 1980, but I would love to get some payback.

Most of us career folk never really leave the service behind, for us it is just a change in duty status and we take the fight to whatever arena presents itself in ways that allow us to contribute in whatever manner we can-without going to jail of course

Another FNG
Just wanted to post my intro.
I am an O-2 in the Naval Reserve after doing some AD time and am interested in crossing over to the Army to hopefully get a shot at SF.
In my free time I like to chase women, stay in shape and try to figure out how the hell I am going to get to SFAS.
I am interested in SF because of the "quiet professional" reputation, their role as teachers and shooters, and because they are always in the fight.
I am going to lurk for awhile to see if my questions have already been answered, then I might give you guys the opportunity to tear me up.
Thanks.

Reception
Gents, thanks for the warm reception, If there is ever anything I could do to help out add me to your resource list. COlawman, be safe out there I hear the altitude out there makes everyone a little squirrely. It's kind of funny here in NJ, about gangs, I work in suburbia, no one wants to aknowledge the fact that gangs exists here. In their minds that gang stuff only happens in L.A. Nough LE talk, you QP's are an inspiration everyday.

(first attemtped earlier in wrong area)
Hello crew, thought this might be a good section for a tame first post.
As a quick introduction I work for the game America's Army. I Just recently found this site and thought it looked like a great place to keep up to date on military information and opinions. I will try my best to use my knowledge and experiences to not come off as a complete wanabe annoyance, thanks for you patience.
I'm sure you guys aren't big on excuses, but I did make sure and read all the rules and sticky's I could. (including):
http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/...ead.php?t=3452
While viewing rule #2, "2. Introduce yourself with your first post." I was unaware this introduction needed to be at base camp since my first post was attempted in general discussion. Which that area's sticky only declares to make sure one's profile is appropriate.
I was also told not to post outside links, but the rules page seems to just demand no nudity or unauthorized ads assuming the post in "on topic."
Is there another "first timers" page I have missed?
