Good afternoon,
Well, to be honest, I really dislike writing introductions, simply because I don't know what to say. Well, I'm a civilian, firearm/weapon/martial/military arts enthusiast. I practice a traditional style of Kung Fu (southern tiger, shaolin style, if that says anything...). I've covered/learned the majority of traditional Chinese weapons (staff, spear, swords, "horse cutter" etc). I've recently realized firearms shouldn't be ignored as a weapon. Not that I thought that they're useless or anything like that, but a sword is pretty bad a** on its own... if you know what I mean. So now I've been bit by a bug. And one I can now afford! I had been looking for dry firing drills, stumbled upon this site, and I was amazed.
I've always been a military enthusiast, my grandfather had gone to France (WWII) and I was always up for a story, when he felt like it... sadly/egotistically it wasn't often enough, but you can't blame him for that. Only respect more. With that said, I have profound respect for the men and women in service and I wish I had the "cojones" to join up. Almost every week I think about walking in the recruitment center, practically across the street from where I work. But I'm scared of what I don't know and it's holding me back. maybe it's better that way... Maybe you all can convince me otherwise. ;)
Anyways, for someone that "never knows what to say", I think I've said enough.. I won't be posting much, since I'm more here to learn and I don't know much, but if I have a question or 2, I hope the collective wisdom can give me answer.
OH! one last thing, I've always wanted to say this to you folks in service. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO! As much flak as you guys may get from the public/politicians, it's really appreciated. Plus, its gotta be a really cool job. MUCH better than pushing paper.
Thanks,
