Hi from from Brush Prairie

[TKO]

Hello everyone,

Long time lurker first time login. What I like about this forum the most is the shared
outlook on the 2A. Former combat veteran from a family of generational military service.

I hope to contribute and learn from this diverse and informed community.

Thank you for allowing me to join the forum.

Best,
TKO

Thanks! II Corps 1973-77. Army 393rd. Luck me I had a special MOS that required a visit to Mean Green even though I was in the reserves.

Thanks everybody. Forty years later I'm finally taking pride.
The anti-war crowd really took a toll on myself and fellow VN vets.
Those days you never mentioned your service. UPS and Fedex
we're one of the few companies that actively recruited vets. So UPS'er for 21 years.
My family helped me transition when I returned. I was lucky.
Little more about me. NRA member. SW Washington Arms Collectors member. Safe Fire member. Former Southwest Pistol
League (SWPL). Which implies I was a former USPSA and IPSC
Member. Too old now. Young man's game.

Welcome from the great State of Jefferson.

I guess the SWPL notation gave away my last location. Washington resident for 9 years. I would have loved to grown
up here. I can only imagine how great it would have been.

Former Marine?

 

[DLS]

Yep, tanks from 77 - 83.

Marines. Guarded the US Embassy in Saigon in April 1975. I
Liasoned to Pendleton for a spell. Toughest group of fighting men the US ever fielded.
Thanks soldier!

Your family is exactly why I chose to be a member of this forum.
My family is 3 generations as well. All U.S. Army. Many uncles and cousins as well were service members.
Soldier Jim, Thank you.
