Good Afternoon Members,
My name is S and I am a 27 year old civilian with hopes of becoming a GB. I have wanted to serve for as long as I could remember but the itch has become more prevalent in the past 6 months to a year. Due to some medical and professional factors, I haven't been able to commit until recently. Though I have not signed anything yet, I am in contact with a recruiter and have got the ball rolling.
A little about myself - Former 3 sport athlete from the Northeast, college degree and 5 years professional working experience in Finance, currently splitting my time between Washington DC, NJ and South Carolina. Personal interests include hunting, surfing, reading and hiking/camping. Have kept up with my fitness and would say that I would be in the 275 APFT range at this time, but confident I can gradually get to a 300 in a few months. I have been researching the process for about 6 months and am leaning towards 18x enlistment, but considering the NG route as well.
What I am looking for is a mentor or someone who can help with the process or any questions I have about the pipeline, training, recruiting, and general advice. I have a close family member who was GB in Vietnam and have spoken to him about his time and what to expect. Though I appreciate his insight, the process and mission seems to have changed greatly over the years, so anyone with recent knowledge would be helpful. I am new to this forum so if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
Thanks.
