It may seem unnecessary for some info in here but I think in order for me to learn and for someone to teach, I need to be honest to them and myself. So here it goes...
Brought up in the Chicago land area, my parents were a bit to protective. No quarrels just different experience is all. It ended up slowing me down in the essence of growing up. What I mean is, there were a lot of chances that I did not get to make my own choices, instead they were made up for me by my parents. Looking out for me of course but their visions were not mine. In my early age, I was not what some would come to say as "normal." Anti-social is what I would call it. Not the personality disorder! hah. I was afraid of failure. In ALL aspects of life. So I isolated myself up until senior year of high school to sum it up. Im all good now though. Well at least I think so. What brings me to his site is a goal or dream, whatever you wanna call it; of a military career in SOF as combat medic. I love science and the human body. The human anatomy something I'm good at and being an EMT in general. What started the military idea was my buddy, who I almost joined the Marines with (thankfully not... no disrespect. Just no medical field is all
). It eventually transformed into wanting SOF because of the human desire, and my own of not being at the bottom anymore or "basic" in this matter. And because of Navy SEAL books and watching to many movies... I can't lie. Though that isn't my goal anymore, SF is, It was still a very crucial moment. I want challenges and the rewards that arise from striving higher then basic and normal. Not material gains necessarily, its more of a metaphor. I could throw out a lot more cheesy quotes but i won't...So here I am. 22 years old and (almost) ready to enlist. Just seeking a little guidance and some answers... And more running. A lot more :wall:.
Thanks for picking up the sword guys!
