Sorry I've been off for awhile. All hips are now bionic, and working a new gig in the department. Since '82 I have been Army MP for 6 years, and then into Law Enforcement with the Sheriff's Office, here in Ohio. I do not plan on retiring, I'm only 48 and feel like the best years are coming up. I may change my mind in another 10 years, but I love interaction (good ones) with the public. Especially if I can make an impact on our future adults.

Be safe. Mike

New to the board currently stationed at Camp Pendleton. Getting bored with 5.56 so here I am. Looking to try and build an acceptable .308 under $1000. Any takers on that?

AF 9.5 years. Bombs and bullets, storage and delivery. It was a good run, all cold war. Join the AF and see the world.....or at least Georgia, Korea and Florida. Korea was fine....they can keep Georgia and Florida

That's an awesome career. Welcome to our hang out. Our greeter, 98Z5V, will be in contact with you soon.

What kind of helicopters do you fly?

Welcome to the site, BigT. Thanks for your continued service. While you've only got 12 in, start thinking about retirement NOW, particularly as it concerns your med records. VA is a bitch to deal with.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I fly the UH60 Blackhawk, the only "real" helicopter in the Army... j/k. I can only hope with the way we are downsizing, I get the option to retire. They are already preparing us, telling us that a lot of good officers aren't going to make the cut- no reflection of them or their service, just a sign of the times. I have a couple more years before my time comes though. As far as the VA goes, I have had a few good mentors that taught me to "get it documented" no matter how trivial the injury.

I occasionally get to fly with some of those guys that have been in for 30 years or so and have 6 or 7 thousand hours in a helicopter. Usually a year or so before they retire and I'm always impressed, all of them have forgotten more than I have learned.
