Good evening, and thank you for allowing me to be a guest in your community.

Firstly let me say a huge Thank You to the men and women who serve our country. You provide the many freedoms that people take for granted with little or no praise and I for one appreciate it a great deal.

I have had the pleasure of knowing a handful of Special Operations soldiers and carry on close relationships with a few of them today. There is not a finer group of men. My experience with them has taught me that SF soldiers are a tight knit group, and I would love to live that lifestyle if health and time would permit.

Growing up I dreamed of becoming a Navy SEAL as I was an experienced diver and grew up shooting guns. I chose to play college football over joining the military. I played at a Div I-AA school, Appalachian State Univ. in Boone NC. I am a novice gun collector who is just getting back into the fray after a few years away from shooting. I came across this site through a web search comparing the ACOG and EOTech sights, as I am looking to build a weapon that will be used primaily for range shooting, but with practical defense capabilities. I have recently joined the IDPA and am looking to shoot in 3 gun matches in the Triangle area of NC. My current line of employment is working in corporate finance for a big tobacco firm.

I hope I wasn't too long winded, but I wanted to give you more information than "Hi I am Joe and I like guns". If you ever have a question please feel free to ask, and if I am ever out of line feel free to point it out as well.

Thanks and be safe.
