Just a spec ops airborne infantryman. No cool title like you other military guys 
Hoping to get into PsyOps within the next year though (or after I get back from my deployment which might come before I get a chance to transfer over..), then I'll be able to sound all cool, haha. They already told me I'm prequalified, just waiting on my next promotion so my rank is high enough to get in =/

YOU GUYS ROCK! This may bore you all.
Retired U.S.P.S. - 12/27/1987 to 11/24/2006, Motor Vehicle Operator - Streight & Tractor Trailer. I had the bad luck of getting hurt on the job twice. Once breaking my toe getting out the truck and landing into a crater (Pothole), and second, tearing three discs unloading fivehundred pound postcons (Mailcages). I didn't want to wait for the mailhandlers to unload the trailer. I ended up with five spinal surgeries. Three outpatient, two inpatient. Now, i have rods, pins & screws in my L-1 to S-1. Therefore, OPM approved my disability retirement. Yes, i am screwed! Literally. But happily retired.
