Hello All.
I got out of active duty 4/70 after 21 months with 1st FSR/FLC Da Nang. Early in '70 the Corps was releasing some MOS's early on their Enlistments. I chased "Prisoners" from Da Nang to MCAS El Toro. Less than week later I was Honorably Discharged as E-4 after 31 months of 36 month enlistment.

Thank the vets!

Two new Members to Present to Vets and Guns.
EliminatorXR7 from Powder Springs, GA,
with a liking for cigars and cars. OK.
Current calling is a coater/finisher, cars?
Only firearm listed is a Springfield Armory 1911A1.
A veteran of the USN 1992-2000 AMS2. (?)
Not much to go with but a Vet with a gun is all it takes.
MI .45 lists U.S Coast Guard 1970 - 74; service in S.E. Asia.
Calling West Michigan home with an "original wife and three children", cool!
He's into fly fishing, cooking, travel, reading, handguns and politics & Constitutional issues.
Perfect, I hope the 2nd is your forte :yes4:
A food importer (hmm any Brit food there?) and packs a S & W 1911PD.
More in line and will admit as soon as I see some info on their 'About me'.
It is indeed a Christmas rush to join and we welcome our two newest members. :victory:
My Regards to you both fellow Veterans,

Thanks for the clarify MI .45 on the fire-fighting role.
When I served the basic fall back for any soldier when the SHTF was 11Bush, Combat Infantryman or even woman, plenty of female soldiers in combat have gone for an M16 or M9, same for the USMC when on the ground MOS 0311, prolly reverted to fire-fighting on any vessel, and the same held true for naval personnel when the fires started everyone was a fire-fighter. I am not sure how the USAF played out their basic survival SHTF roles, way multi tasked jobs, but even as a medic we couldn't get to a casualty until the fire was controlled in a structure or vehicle and we often 'played' fire-fighter before we could access things many of us never forgot, very worse end-game is a flame-out.
Thanks for the lives you may have saved and the kit you salvaged from the beast.

Canis... a naval service "Fire Control Technician" operates and maintains the electronic aiming devices for the ships large guns. I was a glorified Gunners Mate/Electronics Technician. As you said, "everyone's a firefighter" when the boats burning but that wasn't my primary duty.
Wished to clear this up as I don't want accolades where none are deserved.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome, I like what I see on this site already.... As for the open questions: I was VERY rank after my six years in the Navy! LOOM = Loyal Order of Moose an excellent organization that gives back to society every day. I teach for the University of Arkansas in their MS in Operations Management Program at the USAF Special Operations Base - Hurlburt Field. I find this extremely rewarding, as the motivation and dedication of our young special operations folks is stronger than ever. The days that I teach at the base are the days I don't mind leaving my guns locked up, it is an honor to be with them. Thanks again!

Introductions & Salutations No Longer Posted.
I do regret that I will no longer be posting personal introductions, salutations (and/or my personal remarks/wise-cracks or commonalities) to any new members of what was once a moderated Veterans and Guns social group. This social group still exists and patrons posting into it show as posting into Military and Veterans, main menu, new posts, and also show as posts into Vets and Guns inside that s/g if that is where it was posted to, both are open to all and are non-moderated. I will no longer be screening potential new members, not required in any open posting set-up. Veterans and Guns is still a social group as explained in post #120 by Luke McCoy (above), if still confused follow his posted links NOT MINE.
I admit I will miss that pleasure of a personal intro, but all new members are now greeted in a central forum for new members on USA Carry, making the need to 'pop-smoke' on any new members of Military and Veterans a double post which is no longer required on V & G and therefore redundant.
It is now incumbent upon any new members to Military and Veterans to post their own information into the catch-all 'New Members' forum or into Military and Veterans or Veterans and Guns, if they so choose.
I will leave in place all of the previous personal introductions I made and those made by other patrons to Veterans and Guns as is, they do belong here in respect and honor to their current or prior military service to this nation.
This post apparently required feedback from Luke. Military and Veterans is a self-sustaining part of USA Carry now, I encourage any new members to post into Military and Veterans and look forward to tracking how that new spin on Vets and Guns develops.
Thank you,
Canis-Lupus
