Attention PSYOP and CA

[37F5V]

A few of us are trying to gain an appreciation of who here on SOCNET are PSYOP or CA IOT facilitate networking within the community. Doesn't matter if you are AC, RC, Enlisted, Officer, current or former.

Thank you, Sir.

Former 37F, RC, deployed/served both in the 15th and 16th; even spent some summers w/6/84th instructing.

I laughed to myself at B 2/75's 14yrs in CA comment/reaction, until I realized I spent 12 in PSYOP - suddenly it wasn't funny at all. Actually, I loved/love the units, experiences, the science, and the art.

Respect to those still serving the CA and PSYOP community; it is often thankless, with unseen successes, but of vital importance.

Thanks for having me.

[Anouar]

When I was interviewing with Titan a couple of months back, I met with a just-retired MSG Evans who was heading back over there as site manager. Very nice guy. said that he was in the first 37F AIT class.
(I'm trying to be COA with you guys. I hope it's working LOL)

[TPD1280]

I thought ARSOF WAS the psyop/ca forum! :D

We certainly have co-opted it to our own purposes. Now if we can get them to change the name....hmmmm:cool:

[TPD1280]

....(I'm trying to be COA with you guys. I hope it's working LOL)

COA, Course Of Action?

or did you mean

CBA, Cool By Association?

We're not really cool enough that people want to be CBA with us, that's the next forum up, SEALS.

You're certainly welcome though, grab a beer out of the fridge and pull up a crate.

Unless you bought all that shit in The Generals Daughter: electrodes and mind control. "MK Ultra" garbage. :rolleyes:

[Anouar]

Meant CBA, lol!

[PSYWAR 1-0]

I am PSYOP at one of the Special Operations Commands. Don't wanna say more than that. And for no particular reason I am a Heinlien Fan.

Do they even make the new guys read Starship troopers as part of inprocessing to 9th anymore? The practice was dying out in the late 90s, and I bet probably ended with the demise of the Opdets on Buker Street.

[CDRODA396]

Not a CAPOC guy, but did stay at a Holiday Inn Express and was assigned to the Total Army School System Support Team at USAJFKSWC dealing with 38A/37F -10, -30 and -40 courses in the TASS BN's for 2 years...does that count?

[TPD1280]

Hell Sir, you make US cool by association.

Send in two box tops from your favorite brekfast cereal and we will mail you your very own Secret PSYOP decoder ring. :D

Well thank you very much, however, Ray K. already gave me a Secret PSYOP decoder ring that I traded in a bazar in Geresk, AFG for a bull horn so I could be my own mobile TPT!!!

[OGBukerStreet]

I hope this thread is not indicative of the competency level of these soldiers. Please display some semblance of knowledge concerning Psyops.

AC MSG 37F John .. what is up?

Beckwith Fan .. the term PSYOPS speaks volumes. Anyone who uses the term PSYOPS has never spent a day in 4th POG.

I am Rick James Bitch .. you are Charlie Murphy.

Welcome OGBS. There are some alums of the Buker street home for wayward children running amok around here. I've heard the name used in vain once or twice.

Made my way to CA in the early 90's from AD ABN Infantry, and I saw the light...spent about 12yrs CA and got more time down range in any given year than most of my friends got in a career. And lots of pretty CA candy for my uniform. A CA Dining In looks like a friggin mexican general dinner.

I hung up my SFC stripes after OIF and am now an MI Off. in a RC PSYOP unit. Although I am not 37 series I have gotten arrested by the Carabinari while drinking with a bunch of wayward 37F's. Does that count??

I have been a lurker here for a long time, but here I am...posting and everything, he he.

Yall really are gonna have an "Orbital Mind Control Laser" before its all over.

[PSYOP ROB]

The money for the laser was reappropriated and from what I heard went to that ad firm for coming up with "Army Strong" :D

[panzerkraken]

I have hopes that we might be able to use the testbed for the laser on the Snowgoose though. Or we might go with the 'burning bush' theory.

Burning Bush PSYACT Concept:

Mounting a thermal laser and speaker system on the CQ-10A, we orbit at about 8000ft AGL, and find our target. Using the laser, we start a nearby bush on fire, then proceed to play our speaker message:

"Abdullah, this is Allah speaking. I have some things you need to know about what the insurgancy has been doing....."


I think it would work!!


But if we can't get the money for that, we might just have to fall back on the midget sniper commando ideas.

I have been RC CA since 95 and served both in Haiti and Iraq. I think it is a great job.

[MtnPSYOP]

Have read this board for a couple days and decided to jump in the pool. I like the standards set on this site and it appears as if very little nonsense is tolerated. Kudos to the staff.

I joined RC PSYOP after 9/11 to serve my country and have no regrets. Would do it all over again if I had to. The best possible fit for me personally. Love what we do.

Well, slightly stepped on my crank and posted an intro in the wrong thread. Adjusted my head space and timing and will post it here now. I'm a 96B thats been on the fence about what he wants to do. I'm going to put in my packet to reclass to 37F when I get back from the deployment I'm on. I've read almost all the threads on this forum and they definitely swayed my decision towards PSYOP. Thanks for putting out some good info on this MOS. Looking forward to the journey ahead of me to become a 37F.

Hello, new to the socnet site. I already posted an intro and I've filled out a bit in my profile. I've been interested in PSYOP/CA for a few years now. I'm non-prior service, with a packet being processed at the moment. If I'm out of line, I'm sure one of you will let me know right quick.

hey everyone,

i posted an intro in the general area but i figured since i'm pretty sure i'm applying 37f when i get outta college i'd say hello here as well. i've done a lot of research on PSYOP and talked to a recruiter a few times (who i have to say really had no idea about PSYOP), but still dont have an idea of what daily non-deployed life is like for PSYOP personnel?

gonna get as much info on PSYOP from you guys as i can, so feel free to post stuff back. thanks!

I think I know you, did you do a demining gig far far away from anywhere Thai is spoken in 97?

You got it :) ...I was bro's with Hood, Brassad, O'keef, Lightle and Flood ... who's this??

[PSYOP ROB]

This is Roberts, it was you, me, Jones and Charles on that little adventure. Group has changed a lot man, lots of new faces. I think the only one of the group you mentioned that is still around is O'Keefe. B Co 8th is now 5th BN, and the new B Co 8th is where Im currently sitting, although we are a long way from Bragg. Glad to see you found the board, enjoy!

[Evil Snowman]

Ohhh yeah! SSG when we deployed together ... you must be a CSM now, or maybe an officer? I remember that deployment well! Jones fell in love and we could never get Charles out of the Star Bar! I still think about the Rock Hard's hamburgers ... I think they are the ones that gave me the tape worm.

I did hear there were some changes, PACOM got their own BN, which is great ... 8th BN had all of the action spots there for a while and were way over taxed! I'm still in touch with Mullin ... he's contracting in and out of the two sandboxes.

Glad to hear you are doing well, keep your head down and be safe; if you see Okeefe, let him know I just want to talk with him, I'm not trying to collect the $100 he owes me.

[PSYOP ROB]

The Rock Hard Cafe, Star Bar, remember the Armenian social club and the great chow they had over there? That goat at the EDP compound was pretty good too. Jones got out, came back in and then got out again a few years ago. Charles made LTC, and then kind of disappeared, I know he had a bad eye surgery at Womack, dont know if he was med boarded out. I'll give O'Keefe your regards when I see him, but that may be some time, everybody is running around all over as you probably already know. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.:)

[TPD1280]

You got it :) ...I was bro's with Hood, Brassad, O'keef, Lightle and Flood ... who's this??

Hood? Ranger Tab, HALO and SCUBA?

[Evil Snowman]

LOL ... My Hood was not super-high speed ... but he was covered in tattoos of angels holding automatic weapons, with a scroll that read: "Stumbling Drunk in Puddles of Blood ..." or something to that effect. He was an Interagator-Chinese Linguist.

Looking at your profile, we (Hood and I) came in right as you were getting out maybe ... we both came into the army in 91'.

I said "screw you" and put in a CA packet last month, got a nice acceptance letter, and am now waiting for notification of my class date and PCS orders. I'm gonna lurk here for a while, don't have any questions that I havn't found answers to on the net or in Army Doctrine.

Just Got offered a CA slot in a USAR unit. A buddy, (current CA Officer) told me it was downhill since USAR CA left SOCCOM. ANy insights from anyone on this ? I am a Infantry SFC 11B coming out of retirement for this unit. I want all the high speed deployments and schools I haven't got already, but most importantly, I want to know what a Senior NCO from the Infantry can expect in a CA unit (with multiple OIF, OEF tours). Also, anyone with recent experience at the schoolhouse. (Bragg). Thanks for anyone in the CA or Psyops loop, please PM me if nesc. I want to go back to Iraq or Stan ASAP. The recruiter was like "we can get you 24 months stabilized non deployable", I'm like, I WANNA GO BACK..............:D

[SGT Couch]

[SorryTrucker]

Who would've thought I'd ever be a cherry again?

I am not CA yet but I start the course in October. I've been reading anything I can get my hands on regarding CA in order to prevent feeling like an AIT student when I get there. Any and all info/advice is welcome.

The basics: I am a dumb truck driver who spent a few years jumping out of airplanes. I've been a Recruiter for the past 3 years and forgot how to drive a truck, so I'm not going back. If I can smile pretty and lie to kids and their parents, I can lie to Iraqis. CA, here I come.

[armyscout33]

RC CA went downrange with 414 CA out of Utica, NY with a small detachment (21) and did work all around Baghdad, Fallujah, Abu Ghraib area. Reclassed from 19D Scout and hvae to say CA is a pretty good gig. Due to lack of officers with us at time of deployment I was E6 CA team leader and got to see how both sides work (planning and operations) I would highly reccommend CA to anyone wanting to get deployed and wanting to make a difference in the host nation.

I am in the DEP for 37F active duty, leaving for BCT in January. I just wanted to say what an outstanding board this is, I have really learned a lot from it. The group of people that have been a part of the PSYOP and CA community (past and present) seem to be a great group and I am very excited to do my part in the future. You all seem like very classy and motivated individuals.

Let me start by saying thank you for all of the information and I appreciate all of the advice you gentlemen have for people such as myself. I am located in Columbia SC and am being told by my recruiter FT. Jackson has 120 slots open for 37F. I wanted to know if this is a new unit and any other information you might have on what type of unit it is. I know I should get into contact with them myself and am in the process of doing so but just wanted to introduce myself since I am a new member and maybe get some information before I actually talk to the unit. Thank you in advance.

Although I originally posted in this thread in 05 (a short one), guess I need to do so again after posting in the Intro Thread earlier today. If anyone has additional questions in order to vet me and my credentials, fire away.

Name: Mike Spight
Military Experience: Some posted in my Intro, but as to ARSOF Specific, here it is--brought into FA 39C in August 1990 from MP Branch. I was in the very first Troy State University class at FBNC...yeah, the 28 guys who missed Desert Storm. While assigned to SWC, I also attended the Regional Studies Course, CA Officer Advanced Course, Basic Airborne Course, and then Spanish language training. Following language training, I reported to Co A, 96th CA Bn (Abn) in Feb 93, was assigned as a Tm Ldr, and immediately seconded to JTF-Bravo as the Director, J5-CMO, where I served for one year. Returned to Bragg, did a special project at USACAPOC, then attended CGSOC. Graduated, served three years as a CA staff officer at USSOCOM (95-98), then PCS'd to Ft. Leavenworth and BCTP. Retired in July 99 with 24 years of total service.
