Thank you for your time and consideration.
About Me :
I am currently a (11B) Sergeant in the Arizona National Guard 2+ yrs
I was on active duty with 10th Mtn Div for 3 years did a 12 mo tour in Afghanistan in 11/12. After getting out I transitioned into the NG thinking I would finish my contract off and ETS.
Well after doing a couple years of fire fighting and drilling with the guard I some how came to the conclusion that I needed to go SF ... I tried to fight it off but its a creeping obsession that wont go away. I've now made the decision to embrace it and begin my journey into this new chapter.
I am dedicated to the long haul no shortcuts for me. After the last couple months of reading and research I've come to my conclusion. To be the most successful candidate I must prepare the most.
I am looking for a mentor and someone to push me harder than I can by myself.
I live in Gilbert, AZ. I also stay in Payson during the week for work.
I also frequent Prescott and Flagstaff.
I ask for your time and knowledge and in return you will get my hard work and dedication.

Best of luck.
