My personal background is with the 82nd ABN in the early 80's with 2/321st, and 3/319th. After being incredibly disapointed in my experience with the 82nd ABN (No offense to those serving currently) I decided that possibly the Navy offered more in the way of SPECWAR for me. As luck would have it, I had allready had two surgery's at Womack Army hospital for dislocated shoulders ....................yeah, and the Navy was going to let me take the BUDS challenge with pins in my shoulders! Lesson learned..............It's not brighter on the other side!

I currently compete in both IDPA and IPSC competiton, and plenty of skeet and Trap shooting. I am a firearms enthusiast, so most of my questions will probably surround the weapons and weapons systems, as long as it doesnt upset the OPSEC cart?

Thanks for letting visit with ya!

Please read the rules, stickies and intros before posting again.

Use the search button before posting questions. If you find the answer, don't post the question.

Please put weapons related questions in the proper forum.

Don't expect too much in the way of answers till you have proven yourself here. We are busy people as well, and do not like excessive clutter.

Most people here learn more from reading than from talking.

Good luck.
