So... tell us a little about yourself?

[Ben Shotalot]

That's a good idea MtnSldr! That should be a standard set here. Lets us all get a good feel for the poster's experiences and knowledge that are brought to the discussions.

I posted a whole lot of info on myself in the old forum (before the move and should still be visible), I think we should be doing the same here, keeping OPSEC in mind of course. :D

When did you join up? When did you go through BUD/S? Class number? Gone to college? Plans on going officer? Been deployed? That sort of thing...

We should all post the basics on ourselves, let's the young ones know who has been around the world and seen what. Gives weight to the discussions.
