Hello and thanks for allowing me to be a part of the community. My intro is below.

I served in the Army as an all source intelligence specialist. I attended basic training at Ft. Jackson, SC starting in July of 2000 but probably didn't start our cycle until the last week of July. AIT at Ft. Huachuca, AZ (arrived in the early morning of 1 Oct, 2000) and completed my 96B MOS training (now 35F) in Feb 2001. My first duty station was at the NCO Academy at Ft. Huachuca (horrible luck = 63 NCOs with only 2 privates and I was one of the privates). I PCS'd from Ft. Huchuca to Camp Zama, Japan in May of 2002 and served in the S2/S3 shop of 500th MI Group until my ETS in July 2004 with a three month long TDY to Camp Humphries, ROK in between. I took a contract job in July 2005 in Iraq and was on Camp Victory and Camp Slayer until January 2006 when I went to Camp Fallujah right outside of Fallujah, Iraq working with 1st and 2nd Marine Expeditionary Forces as well as 1/1 Radio BN, and elements of the JSOTF. I worked there until July 2006 when I took another contract job working for the U.S. Army Japan G2 as a counterintelligence/force protection analyst. I left there in late June 2011, took a year off to be with family, and then took a job with the Department of Energy in Kansas City and still do work in the intelligence analysis field. I have worked with the special operations community but was never an operator or assigned to a special operations command. I am in no way a special operations guy, but have friends in the community.

I have had some experience with confronting veteran imposters and my intent is to lend any assistance I can lend to exposing more, or assisting real veterans in exposing imposters. Feel free to hit me up. Thanks!
 
By the way, how does one become a verified member? Do we need to send in our 214 to a moderator or does someone actually work the verification process through other means?
Try the vetting tab up at the top (between "forums" and "donate"). I think that's where you get started, but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks! Yes I see it now. Looks like they have an upload document portion there. I'm not so sure that I want to upload my DD-214. Would a photo work?

Again, i'm not 100% sure, but you could scan your DD-214 on to your computer, black out your SS# and then upload it here.
 
Welcome to SS. If you do not mind a few days wait, you could snail mail Your DD-214 to an admin. You will need to pm to get an address.

Welcome to the site.

I was vetted via a scanned DD214, with all PERSEC info blacked out.
 
Welcome. I recommend you get vetted, using the methods people have suggested. Enough information- like your name and service locations is more than enough- to verify and you're golden.

Have fun here. Thank you for your service.
 
lol, that sucks, I can only imagine the endless working parties that ensued. Anyways welcome to the awesomest site on the internet.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad to be here. I submitted my forms for verification using the file upload in the verification section. I should be good to go pretty soon I suppose.
