Any ex-SF / military folk?

Good’ay all,

I currently serve in the Royal Australian Signals Corp (I can't go into to much of what I do). I have been in for about 2 years now and I love every minute of it. I haven’t had the chance to go overseas yet but there is a good chance I could go somewhere in the near future.
One of the high light of my time so far in the army, is geting a chance jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft . I have never been so scared before but it was bloody great experience and now I cant wait to get up and do it again.


Have a good one.

Hello,

I've been active duty US Army since May 2002.

I'm a 35L - Counterintelligence Agent

I'm a Staff Sergeant, currently stationed in South Korea.

I served two tours in Iraq - 2003-2004 with the 4th ID and from 2005-2006 with the 4th ID.

During my last five months of the second rotation, I was a gun truck commander for a security unit that protected EOD guys on their missions.

I just re-enlisted again for 16,000 USD and an assignment to Germany.

Pulling EOD security? thats as high risk as you can get it outside of SF duties in my opinion.

Secondaries, ambushes, personell specific targetting... Glad to see your safe. Hope Germany gives you some wind down time.
