What Was Your Rank?

[Canis-Lupus]

Today we welcome drmickelsen to Veterans and Guns!
He is a United States Navy Veteran: 1973 - 1979 NSG CT(M)
(and here I thought only us Army Vets had acronyms 4 everything, WRONG!)
Florida does seem to be his home and I am starting to think that
all Vets must end up in Florida and own Glocks! Will wiki that!
More power to Florida, as I post this welcome it's 1F here in Spokane,
and that will be the norm for the run-up to Christmas! Lucky Florida!
Listing Harley's (also a common theme here), photography,
cigars and (of course) guns as past-times.
He currently is a Project Manager AND a College Professor (Wow! Major-kudos),
it would be interestng to know what you teach @ your speed.
Primary carry gun is a Taurus PT145 Pro.
Also backing-up this well armed Vet he owns/uses a Bersa Thunder .380,
a S&W 459 9MM, a Springfield Armory PX9151L 1911, a DPMS AR-15,
and a Winchester 1300 Defender, nice collection of good weapons.
Affiliations include the VFW, the NRA, USCCA, AMVETS, LOOM (?).
Please extend the hand of welcome to a Vet who seems to be
tracking very well in many areas of his life after serving his nation.
We welcome drmickelsen.
Regards,

Canis-Lupus

Welcome aboard from the peach state and fellow navy vet.

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!

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

This social group has been replaced by Military and Veterans, an open to all and non-moderated forum/social group, or something. I will no longer be screening potential new members to Military and Veterans, not required in an open posting & membership entity.
