'When someone asks me if I ever served in the military I feel somewhat guilty when I say no.'

I can totally relate to that.

On the other hand you serve your country also by raising a good family, serving your neighbor and God, working hard, and being an upstanding citizen.

Thanks to all the men and women who do serve, many of us do not have to. We still are responsible and in debt to those who do, however.

Just my 2 cents.

Ever since I was a small child, I have been very proud of my country. The Star Spangled Banner has always sent a tingle up and down my spine and a tear to my eye. At the age of 18, I went to talk to a recruiter about enlisting in the Navy. He basically talked me out of it. The US had just brought all their troops back home from Viet Nam. They ended the draft and were talking about cutting military benefits drastically. Combined with the anti-military sentiment at the time the recruiter was...

Made up on the spot, Green is my favorite color, the 7 has no significance.

Really self explanatory. Every gun I buy is a shooter. I have a C&R license, but it just allows me to get good deals on milsurps that ar reasonably priced and usually good shooters. I guess cheap could be a relative term. My first C&R purchase was a French 49/56 for $250. My cheapest was a French MAS 36 for $35. Everything I have isn't cheap milsurps though. Colt 1991A1 Compact, Olympic PCR5 AR clone. Romanian Dragomov, Springfield Armory XD-40 Subcompact, and a lot more in all...

After my premature birth, as I was handed by the nurse to my swashbuckling, uniformed USAF dad, who had dead-headed across the US in C-46's during the Korean Conflict, he pushed back his cap and exclaimed, "You mean--I came all the way from South Carolina just to meet this buzzard bait-?" Immediately, I was nick-named "Buzz", later "Buzzy." (My dad was the greatest pappy a person ever had.) I simply added the "El" prefix because (a) I live in a...

O.K. My name is Don and I am a Physical Science Teacher. My Principal gave me the name since I was always messing with the computers and network wiring. Well and there was that one "incident" involving a 250,000 volt power supply for neon lighting and some improvised electrodes during a demonstration. "But I'm much better now."

Fighter pilots have really cool callsigns like Maverick, Ice, Hollywood, or whatever. I'm a flight test engineer and I do airdrop test from cargo planes. Sometimes we have malfunctions with mannequins or test cargo loads - CRUNCH! My career goal is to never crunch a live person. But plain old "Crunch" was already taken, so it's Crunch130, in honor of the C-130's I started in. I've also done a lot of work in C-17s.

Well, the Flinttim part comes from building flintlock rifles all these many years. The add on part about "restoring yesteryear's trailer " somehow got stuck on by Yuku when I signed onto a forum about working on old campers. The camper is done now so if anyone can tell me how to remove it, please help.

Mine is really simple but may seem odd for a Yorkshire Terrier to be named Ed Novak. The guy with the glasses reads Soviet Union history to me most evenings.

Cheapshooter says it all. I don't buy "collectables" for their value, but rather things that go BANG. I shoot all of my milsurp firearms along with non milsurp guns I own. I'm not worried about my milsurps having target accuracy. If it goes bang and something goes down range I'm happy. If it hits the target with reasonable accuracy, I'm very happy!

I used to be known to ride a Suzuki GSXR600 sportbike on road race tracks every once in a while but never really 'raced'. Just wanted to real bad. However it was an SUV on the street that took me out permanetly with a mild brain injury. Now my hobby is recreational shooting and collecting. I just hope Obama doesn't take that away too!

11Bravo was my MOS 23 years ago. We referred to it as 11Bulletstopper. My understanding is that it is now referred to as 11Bang!

I just started to "get into" milsurp firearms, I have bought a 91/30 Mosin Nagant, and a k-31, the Schmidt is so odd looking it's cool amd its my new favorite gun, so SCHMIDT SHOOTER sounded good!!

I'm a retired US Army Sergeant First Class and a logistician, hence, qmcorps (quartermaster corps) . The early years were as an infantryman in several mech battalions (M113A2/A3) before I switched to a supply MOS.

amatuers study tactics, professionals study logistics.

mrchuck,,, this moniker stuck 25 to 30 years ago, when the arresting officer, yes me, put'em in the slammer.
Since then, it got passed through out the system. Once in the system, you are tagged with it forever. When the internet came about, this name for me stuck through out the 50 states. I had no choice.
I am used to it now, being 70, and to old to learn something new!,,,,,mc

Although I REALLY like silver a lot, it doesn't really offer much advantage over good lead alloys, and it is actually sort of pedestrian as projectiles go. You know, kind of like it's been done before and is sooooo passe!

Now gold, on the other hand, hasn't been beat to death in the media, and offers significant advantages over silver in both density and ductility. So that for the same bullet design you have about 50% greater weight and significantly better expansion,...

I guess this question is C&R related, in a way.

What is the significance of your nickname that you use here in the PB forums?

My nickname is "wworker" and it is a short version of "Woodworker" which is usually already taken by someone else at many online sights and...
