88N,,Welcome aboard, and thanks for your service for freedom. What parts of WA are you from? What are your interests? Here these guys are great at giving a wealth of knowledge and some good hospitality, you'll learn a ton. Also for a local connection you may try the South Sound Longbeards site, it's an NWTF chapter with a lot of good guys on that forum too.

HEy if you need some help, I too would be glad to give you a hand, just look me up I'll be around either this site or the other metioned.

Again Thanks for your service, most of us here know what your sacrificing and why!

What branch of service? I'm a former Salior myself.
