My name is Ben and I'm an alcoholic a civilian who is in the DEP awaiting my ship date. I leave for basic next year. I came here because I am interested in joining the special operations community but, as I have no concrete plan for how I want to make myself useful, I am here to learn what I can. With that in mind, I plan to sit down, shut up, and pay attention.
Good luck, I wouldn't make lame ass alcoholic jokes in my first post; you would be surprised at who our members are.
..........and.................... FailBlog has a new candidate for stupid human tricks with this intro. Run Rabbit, Run!
Understood, and my sincerest apologies. I do have a bad tendency to forget myself sometimes. Whoops, forgot to mention that! Army.
Good deal. Which SOF component of the Army are you interested in? There is a great mentor program here for those with SOF aspirations.
Honestly, I don't know and that's part of the reason I'm here. I remember reading a post either here or on another site saying that if you don't know for sure that you want to join, don't bother attending selection, so until I know for certain, I'll keep doing the research. Besides, I was told at MEPS that I'm not eligible for any kind of security clearance on account of the fact that I've lived outside the States for such a long time, so I have at least a year to think, research, and prepare.
MEPS isn't 100% on knowing who can get a clearance and who cannot. I was fed a similar line when I was at MEPS. Then, lo and behold, I received a clearance. Keep your nose clean, do your best, be honest and you'll do as well as you want.
Roger that, good to know. 68W. Not what I originally wanted but I believe that knowing how to stitch people up will be a useful skill no matter what I do in the future and as long as it's my job, I intend to excel at it.
