Hello,
I am a former 11B with 1-4 INF in Germany and I am currently working as an engineer for the US Army Corps of Engineers on Torii Station and Kadena in Okinawa, Japan.
I am in the process of working with an Air Force recruiter to apply for a Special Tactics Officer position.
I was discharged from the military early due to plantar fasciitis but since I have been out I spent a lot of time and effort solving the root of that issue and I have since been medically cleared (by civilian doctor). I understand it's going to be an uphill battle but all I can do is keep training and cross my fingers the waivers go through and the powers-that-be give me shot at Phase I and II.
I have a huge amount of respect for the folks in the SOF community; every one I run into here on the island is always willing to impart some good wisdom or just carry on a great conversation. I hope to be able to serve among its ranks someday.
As for my participation; I hope to garner as much knowledge as I can from this site and its contributors and I am also hoping to find a mentor and/or training buddy out here in Japan.
Regards,
Matt
