I enlisted into the Navy back in '89 as a CTI (Navy version of a 35P) and did that on AD for 12 years. I picked up a Federal job right after 9/11 so I went into the Reserves for two years. I volunteered to serve in Iraq as a civilian and worked with guys (SOT-As) from 5/19th SFG(A) as well as various elements from all the BNs from the 75th. I enlisted as a 35P4 in 20th SFG(A) as soon as I returned CONUS. I should have done it years ago.
I am currently scheduled for pre-Ranger and Ranger school in October. I am here to learn as much as I can because I'm pretty weak at fieldcraft.

Welcome. Maybe I'm still a cherry but that's a pretty wide field of work.
How did you go from Navy, straight to a SFC in the Army?

Re: Lindy Intro
I actually requested an admin reduction in rank to become a TL. My unit had a open slot for a SOT-A TL and the state approved it based on my background. I had enough time sitting on the FOB and just want to do my part to help our guys come back. The wall at Ft. Meade has more SOT-As than another other job for linguists.BoxOGridsquares wrote:Welcome.

Re: Lindy Intro
Interesting line of work. Welcome to the site.
Fieldcraft is primarily common sense associated with a little experience. You'll have a lot of classmates in the same situation as yourself, especially if your class is a summer course full of academy cadets or newly commisioned lieutentants.
Learn your oporders and the Ranger HB & assuming good physical conditioning, you'll do fine.

Welcome Lindy, didn't see your intro until just now!
