Hello from NC
« on: September 20, 2015, 02:17:43 PM »
Hey all,

Stumbled across the site while I was catching up on Don's build threads on another site. Currently serving a 5 year stint as a lawndart at the US Army Correctional Facility for Misguided Children at Ft. Bragg haha. Hobbies include everything I can't afford, expensive firearms, prepping/survival/homesteading, anything outdoors, trucks and offroading, computers and electronics, etc. Currently contemplating where to get my Master's degree in Cyber-Security.

Welcome!  Jon?

You will fit in just fine.  Dive in and contribute.  We look forward to hearing more.

Thanks guys. Yeah, Jon is fine, definitely been called worse haha. So much to read so little time. I'm a huge gear nerd, I just don't get a lot of time to get out and use the stuff. I'll try to post some reviews of stuff as I go along. Now that its getting a little less humid here in NC, I'll try to get out in the woods more on the weekends.

Ft Bragg correctional facility...
The one with the clearing in the middle of the trees around back?
The one with that clearing just big enough for a Chinook?
The one where the folks who live out at range 19 got their start?
...That one?

Yep, Bobby was a SSG in the All American, and HC an Airborne NCO as well. Not sure if he was an 82nd guy or not.
I was a 101st, Socom, and USASOC guy and did lots of time over there, but mostly on Pope AFB.

Welcome Jon. Good place with good peeps!
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

Funtimes.

Everyone tries that. The usual landing sequence is feet, a##, head, repeat if the winds and Murphy it's feel necessary.

So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are.  Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
