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.

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.

Gladly.

Started talking to recruiters my freshman year(HighSchool) about the Navy.
Got a copy of the PST requirements to be eligible for BUD/S selection.
Started working out as much as I could.
Joined straight out of High School.
After several months I finally got my chance.
BUD/S Class 249 Hooyah!
Assigned to Seal Team 7.

Been overseas twice. Iraq, Afghanistan...other places.



Any other questions are welcomed.

Iraq:
As far north as the Ta'Mim Province, as far south as the Southern Qadisiyah Province.

Afghanistan: Most of my time there was limited to the eastern border.
