Congrats Buck! Way to go. Now i am feeling guilty about not running down the street to the 19th and signing up. Maybe you could talk to the wife and boss for me but then again i would probably get someone hurt

No rubbing it in!
Buck, Franz tells me you rubbed it in but good! He is as jealous or more than I am. He asked me to remind you to remember that he retained those skills and wants to meet up when you can. He tells me you are quite the careful PI. 
Again, congratulations on your swearing in today. At 1130, according to schedule, you had at least 2 bystanders in the wings wishing you well.
Stay safe,
Jo

Well I'm official now
So I actually swore in at 1300 CST, so I'm officially in. On the way home I got me a six pack of the Michelob Amberbock, I know all you 10th Groupers like me who enjoyed the Ruetberg Dunkel Beer, but at least its not bad, and dark. I'm celebrating
Again, appreciate all the best wishes, and support.
P.S. And yes Jo, Franz said he is still in fighting shape, and wishes he could join too.

Congratulations, Buck, and thank you! (I still think this old dog could get up on the fire truck, but am not sure I could remain there long!)

LMAO!! I KNEW something was afoot!!
Beer (or bourbon, if you so prefer) is on me if you ever make it down my way again. If I head that way (go up to visit friends in AR ever now and then), I'll buzz you up!!
Congrats and thank you!!

Ah, no..what I said was that after careful consideration of his motives it occured to me that his real reason was to be able to get FREE ammo.
I forgot to add, virtually unlimited range time with live moving targets. 
Despite my teasing, I still think what he is doing is awesome and am deeply grateful for anyone who would willingly put themselves in harms way to keep me free.
