I'm currently on active duty, loving everday that I'm in. I'm one of those ever elusive Navy SeaBee's. My current rank is E5, and my Rate(MOS) is Equipment Operator.
I am the hosemonkey. I just joined the other day, so I figured to say hello. I would also like to welcome all my Vietnam brothers home. I was 22 years in the U.S. Navy as a parachute rigger and 20 years as a Firefighter/Paramedic, hence the handle "hosemonkey. I have been a CCW holder for eight years and I carry a Makarov, 'cause Russians build pretty good guns.I am retired now, just kicking back and enjoying making life miserable for all the Liberals that I can bait. God bless all my military brothers.
