semper fi. welcome, Marine.
Not in the Closet Any More!
No, I'm no pole smoker, if that's what you're thinking.
I just wanted to say I've been a member on here for some time, but I was hiding low for the most part.
I came here to buy some guns, magazines and clips and really didn't want any government snoop tools logging my name.
Anyway, I guess I don't really care now. I've got my guns, magazines and ammo, so they can kiss my ass now.
I served from 1988 to 1992. Went in Open Contract, took a skills test, and was assigned the 1316 "Basic Metal Worker" MOS. That skills test rocks! I could have looked at the job books for months and never would have understood that the Marine Corps could have trained me up as a welder. Spent my first year in Oki (Camp Hansen, with 3rd CEB and went to PI for a month) and the rest of my time at Pendleton (Del Mar's GSM Co. over by Tracks by the beach) ...not counting the 6-month trip over to Saudi.
Since getting out, I got a degree using my GI Bill and started writing software for computers (mostly database work on Windows machines). I also got married and became a dad. I still like to weld, I am still in tip top shape (though aches last a bit longer), and I ride around my area of the world on a motorcycle most days.
I serve as moderator (i.e. Squad Leader) on another forum, if you're thinking that avatar of mine looks familiar.
