Welcome home brother glad you’re here and thank you for your service, I just vacationed with Uncle Sam Ain’t Released Me Yet for 3 years myself, 11 B all the way. By the way I got word they want their metal back or they are going to bring you up on charges of theft.

Howdy. Tinylittle65 here.
Been a member for a bit. At 77, I’m a third generation shooter. My wife and I are ‘Henry’ owners and participated in the “1,000 man shoot”. ( yes I know… “man shoot” vs “person shoot”.) Hey I didn’t name the event. Still it was fun and very cool.
Mostly I listen/read without comment. I really like the articles and follow the training. The Concealed Carry magazine is great! If I can’t find the latest issue… my wife has it. Sigh.
Enough for now. Stay safe, vote, & enjoy life.
Respects. Semper Fi.

So this is my first post:
I am a Retired Airborne NCO and for the most part loved every minute (even the jumps, though my wife said I was totally nuts and would not come and watch me). The army got me to a lot of places that I would not have the chance to see otherwise, again; most of it I loved.
I come from a long line of military family service and traced it back to the war of 1812 and every major war and some not so major sense. That is may be why I enjoy shooting so much.
My wife is the greatest gift God has given me and that is saying something looking back at all the gifts he has given me and I thank him and tell her how much she means to me everyday.
I spent some years teaching shooting sports to 4-H kids and that was something: it really restored my faith in today’s youth, I was even lucky enough to have been the 4-H state shotgun coach taking 4 kids from around the state to Nebraska for the 4-H Invitational National Shoot: what a great time.
I have a very good stress reliever as I use reloading as therapy, I started with my father at the ripe old age of 4 and it has grown bigger then I am now. I got my NRA Cert for reloading so I could work with the 4-H kids.
Now that I am getting ready to retire from my civilian job and take up farming and being a Grandpa full time, I really need something to do with all the spar time and I don’t think my wife can dill with me that much without pulling her hair out (by the way, she keeps telling me that the kids and I put all the gray hairs on her head?).
Anyway, carrying a gun as much as I did in the army, I felt a little naked without one (plus the fact that it was hard not walking in circles without the heft on my right hip) and that is how I got here, figured it would be like any other insurance: you keep it but hope you never need it.
OK, that should be enough about me.

Welcome @FrankS. I currently am a 4H rifle coach, so, I absolutely understand your point of view in that.
