Hello from North Carolina

New member from eastern North Carolina. Retired 33 year Navy veteran and long time CCW holder. Raised on a large dairy farm hunting and fishing which I still enjoy to this day. Good to be here!
Glad to have you here! Thanks for your service, what did you do in Uncle's Yacht Club? I'd say that's a far cry from a dairy farm, but then I remember my uncle, who I stayed with every summer as a kid and well into my teens, was also a dairy farmer but during WWII was an infantry soldier. I learned a lot about hard work from him, milking 175 Holstein, Jersey and Guernsey cows twice a day, making silage, baling hay, priming tobacco (cash crop). I haven't milked a cow in 55 years, but I still remember how.

First 12 years was as an Aviation Electronics Technician, completed my degree and applied and accepted for a Commission as an Aerospace Maintenance Officer. Worked for a Defense Contractor after I retired from the Navy and then last year decided to spend time with friends and family and do a few things I’d put off for years.
 
Welcome from the first Washington
A lot of knowledgeable folks on this forum. Sadly I’m not one of ‘em.
Hope you enjoy this forum as much as I.
