Back to the Intro.

LOL. I was generating this response when I saw AZ had already given you the business so I held off.

Check out the big brain on 8654. You a smart MF'er!

BTW, I've NEVER heard a Marine say "succinctly".

Succinctly?
I was only a Grunt

I originally joined SOCNet around 2005 as “txb&b” in order to research ways to help my nephew achieve his dreams and quickly became addicted to the site. To recap my bio: I have no military experience and am now retired from 35+ years in the oil industry. I was born and raised in the Permian Basin of West Texas and still enjoy living here. I grew up on Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, CCR, the Doors, the Eagles, Janis Joplin, AC/DC, Lynard Skynard and many others that I still listen too. I’m an independent, DYI, Type A, stubborn old fart of the female persuasion who doesn’t mind getting my hands dirty or breaking a nail.

In 2013, my mother passed away and my personal obligations necessitated my having to drop off the grid for awhile. That was followed by the Grim Reaper knocking on my door a little over a year ago, but I refused to answer. Now, I’m almost completely recovered, playing catchup from being completely out of commission for 9 months and am occasionally getting a few moments of down time. I dropped in the other night to browse SOCNet and, much to my great sorrow, discovered (from bobofthedesert’s tag line) that Cass, SOTB and Hognose had passed and that Match and KidA were MIA. The browsing non-privileges only allowed me to view Lounge threads so I was unable to find out when they passed or who else had joined them in Vahalla but my new member privileges are allowing me to get caught up on both the sad and joyful events that have happened during my absence. My deepest condolences to the families, friends, and SOCNetters of those we’ve lost and to the SOCNetters who have lost loved ones. I too will miss Cass, SOTB, Hognose, et al, very much. Congratulations to all of you on the new additions to your families.

With limited time available, it will take me a long time to reacquire my confirmed member status, but I look forward to being a member again and availing myself of the invaluable advice and knowledge this board offers.

It’s feels good to be in the land of the living again.

Welcome my man...the road is long for everyone. Some walk the walk...some don't. You've had a long walk, welcome back...

Hi. Thanks for accepting my request for SOCNET. Not sure what I should post here in my introduction, but here it is: I'm posting as Private Badge. I've always enjoyed private sector police work, most notably as an investigator. Glad to be among vets. My sister was Navy, two of my uncles were USAF.

I’ve been to three goat ropings and two county fairs. I thought I saw it all until I changed a diaper while flying an airplane. I’m a bit of a black sheep in the family being the only male that didn’t serve. All I wanted to do as a kid was run around the woods and dreamed of jumping out of airplanes, sneaking around and blowing up bad guys stuff. Ma’ said I had too many problems with authority. She was probably right.

I’d like to believe I could have hacked it though; because; I do believe what one man can do another can do. Who knows...But, that ship sailed for various reasons. Utmost respect for your service. To the bold go the fortunes. That fortune isn't always money.

Im not a chatterbox and only because you asked me. I fly around the country in the private sector meeting interesting people and help them solve their problems. I’ve been in construction for over 20 years and been flying in airplanes since I was a kid. My dad was a bush pilot, and charter captain. Learned how to choot and clean guns from my Marine brother who would PT me as a kid and kick my ass up and down the block. I slid sideways into professional aviation as a second career and love to shoot the shit with real Americans of all beginnings who share similar interests as many of you folks do. I originally signed up here to vet a claim as a SEAL. There’s so much stolen valor out there these days I didn’t want it to go unchecked. Turned out he was legit...moving on.

[Xenonburnout]

Did anyone else’s pulse get rapid reading that dudes posts?
I thought I forgot to take my BP meds. Reminded me of my ex mil. Talked until you bled from your ears and then talked some more.

Welcome aboard

[PSS-Bamberrydude]

(Hopefully this goes through, as this is my 4 time posting)

Hello Everyone,

I started out as a Personal Trainer but wanted to venture out into public safety in order to help people who required help rather than who signed up for help.

I've been in EMS 7 years now: 2 as an EMT in a non-emergency setting, 2 as an Advanced EMT in emergency work and 3 as a Medic. As a EMTP, I've served with the busiest hospital in Atlanta. Throughout my employ, I've gained much knowledge and experience.

My go to has always been to serve as a Medic for the SWAT team. I'm certified in tactical medicine and have done local protective work for a couple of years. I recently looked into contracting and it just so happens that I meet the requirements, so I thought why not!

[CAP MARINE]

Welcome

[Private Badge]

I'll try to avoid too much detail. As indicated, I'm not a draft-dodger. Injury prevented entering military service. Personal doc gave me the green light, but Army medics said no. Formal law enforcement education; also psychology; electronics; some culinary "skill"; alot of Bible college (I'm not one of those Christian's who turns the other cheek by the way). Hope this helps.
