I just thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself.
I'm retired US Navy WTC (E-7) who managed to get SAMI designation prior to my retirement. I have seven years with the Virginia Beach Auxiliary Police and retired from both in 1988.
Earned BBS and MBA from East Tennessee State University in 1992 and 1994, respectively.
Currently living and shooting in Florida.
Having come down with ankylosing spondylitis in my later years I have an ever-increasing understanding what it is like to not be able to do those things I expected to be doing for my retirement. Oh, I still get to shoot, but the .30-06 sits idle these days and I've not got my .45-70 or gone hunting like I wanted.
But the worse thing is I lost my wife to cancer in 2009.
Oh well, such is life.
Glad to be here.
