Greetings Shadowspear Members,
My name is XXXX XXXX, I am 19 years old and currently live in Minnesota. I am the son of an Infantry Officer, and have always aspired to serve my country as my Father has. Physical fitness and Self-Defense have always been a big part of my life. I started boxing at the age of 15 and could not get enough of it. A year later I wanted more and started training at a local Mixed Martial Arts gym. I had my first Amateur MMA fight at the age of 17 and won via 1st RD/KO. After graduating from High School, I wanted to continue learning and growing as a martial artist. I envisioned my training aiding me later in my life, as I dreamed of a SOF military career. I enrolled at MSUM in Moorhead, MN to please my parents, and gain access to one of the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academies in the area(FargoBJJ). I still attend MSUM and train regularly at FargoBJJ, aswell as assistant coach the Adult Boxing/Muay Thai class. I am torn between trying to acquire an Army ROTC Scholarship at ASU (Hopefully to receive an Infantry Commissioning), or to finish off my degree (3 more years) and wait for an 11x Option 40 Contract to surface.
I wanted to join this community to learn as much as I could about all aspects of SOF. I have the upmost respect for all who serve, and can not wait to see if I have what it takes to join the elite ranks of the SOF members. I apologize for the length of this, but I wanted to supply enough information to try and get the point across that I am serious about my goals. (I left out information on PT, if you want to know anything PT related just let me know.)
-Feel free to PM any advice/information you think I would benefit from, or to hate on my long introduction; either way ill read it and (try) to learn from it.
Thank you,
XXXX XXXXX
