[Homestead]

Thanks for allowing me to join such a professional site. I am not SF. However, with 20/20 hindsight....I would have really liked to give it a shot. I became a cop when I was 19, and after 5 years of "Gee I wish I...." ...I joined the Marine Corps, and served in a Reserve rifle company for 7 yrs, and was just getting out, happy with the places I'd seen and schools I had been fortunate enough to got to. Then came 09/11.

I re-enlisted, got into Scout-Sniper PLT 2/25 and served from 12/01 until 09/03 and returned to work in Oct. 03.

I'm still a cop, starting my 19th year. I am currently a patrol SGT in a small South American city located in Western Connecticut. I also teach tactics/firearms to our officers.

If I learn half as much from the people on this site in the future, as I have in the past week as a "lurker", than I'll be a better man for it.

Semper Fi.
