Mike,
Thanks for the welcome. My colorful Military career started in 1980, until 1989 as a Submarine Sonar Tech (yep....I'm a Bubblehead). Got out and joined the PA National Guard (couldn't bear sitting on the sidelines) first as a traditional reservist, then full time (AGR) shortly after 9/11. Most of my Army career was spent as a Combat Engineer. Retired as a Master Sergeant, with two combat tours in Iraq. So......basically I'm fluent in both Navy, and Army jargon.

Still cheer for Navy in the Army/Navy game though.
When you get back east drop me a line. Lot's of twisty country roads in my neck of the woods that need the R3 rumble.
