My Intro

Post by six:eight »

Hello Rangers, Veterans and users of this forum.
My service to country started in 1992 with an enlistment in the USN. I served as an electronics technician on the USS Nevada SSBN 733 from 1994 to 1998 when I separated from the Navy.
I returned home settled in and started a family and career as an IT Technician. Wife, four kids and several pounds later I was moved to serve again.
May of this year I enlisted in the Colorado ARNG as an 11c. I leave for WTC 20100803. It is my hope to serve in the SOF community either as National Guard or active duty if the opportunity presents itself. First things first, it is my goal to excel no matter where I am at; and right now that will be WTC at Ft. Sill.
I would like to thank you for the opportunity be a part of this forum and I hope to be a contributing member as time passes.

Welcome aboard Bubblehead!

Best roomate I ever had sailed on L.A. fast attacks for six years. If you gain nothing else from life in a cigar tube, it will be how to get along in close quarters.
If you haven't seen the news lately, the first female officers are in subschool right now and will be assigned to boomers. How do you think that is going to work out?

The way I became a Ranger and have earned the small amount of success I have had in life has been mostly due to one quality - determination. Lefty.
