Old Army brat finally coming out of the woodwork.

Saw the world, been in a combat zone as a contractor and somehow ended up in the PNW. Finally feel ready to take up recreational target shooting. I think the possible incoming regulations finally pushed me to get started.

So you've been to, and operated in a combat zone only to settle down in another one to live….. man, you've got issues.

You don't know the half of it! Feel like I've been in one since I was 18. Used to be you could drive onto Fort Hood, gates were wide open, no checks ever. First time I ever had a gun pointed at me was on September 11th 2001 as they were closing the base. I was trying to make a computer delivery for my job to a school on post. I had no clue what was going on in New York. My situational awareness developed since then has served me well.

Welcome from East Anglia, England. There are a good few of us here with military experience of one kind or another - you'll probably fit right in with the rest of us.

A robust sense of humour is a pre-requisite, but I'm sure you'll figure that out for yourself.

Although I'm not 'zackly a 'brat', my late father was in an army of sorts in the early '20's of the last century. At least, they called themselves an army, and the British occupiers called them a bunch of armed thugs, but in the end, gave them what they wanted - independence.

Sounds kind familiar, don't it?

I can't help but giggle a little. Last 501c3 I volunteered for I ended up as the registered LLC holder less than a year later. Still not sure how I ended up leading it. Heck maybe some of you know it. Will def get involved once I get started practicing.
