Well, I’m the new guy here. A little about myself:
Born and raised in a smallish town (Milwaukie) outside Portland, Oregon.
Drafted (among the last) into the Army in 1972.
First the Army made me a Watercraft Operator (landing craft) - I don’t swim.
I switched to the Artillary as a Forward Observer in 1974 - after I got “just missed� by my own units guns, I asked myself what the future looked like for an ex-FO in the civilian word; the answers didn’t look promising.
Made my final switch to what was known as the US Army Security Agency (USASA or ASA) in ’76 - loved it!
When they deactivated ASA in ’78 I remained with Military Intelligence until I retired in ’94.
Today I’m a sergeant with a Department of Public Safety (College Law Enforcement).
My hobbies are -
Firearms - Collect, shoot, and teach. I shot competition for almost twenty years, taught (coached) for about eighteen years, was a Plant Manager for Kimber Firearms, etc…
History - Especially Historical Reenactment (French and Indian Wars, Civil War, and American Mountain Man periods).
Gaming - Primarily Strategy (Age of Empires, Total War, Civilization) and First Person Shooter (Rainbow 6/Raven Shield, Call of Duty, America’s Army), and have recently decided to try out Flight Sims (Microsoft CFS 1, 2, and 3; and now AH2).
Teaching - (OK, this is also one of the jobs I’ve had / I do - but I do it for free also because I like it.) Shooting (as mentioned above), Hunter Ed (specialty classes like handgun hunting, muzzleloader hunting, tracking/trailing, survival, etc…), Use of Force, Baton and OC, Field Training and Evaluation Program, etc…
Photography (just getting back into it after twenty years away - love these new digital cameras)
Take care,
