Hello All

Post by MTICop »

Hello all. I just joined the forum a couple of days ago. I was reading and made a post on one the discussion areas. When I logged on tonight, I saw that longtooth, who I know personally, "instructed" me to make a post here. So here goes:

I'm 36 year old
I'm married with two children, one of each
I am a 18 year member of the USAF
I spent 17 years as a Security Forces member, working in various duties including patrolman and special reaction team member/commander at various bases
The last year I have been at Lackland AFB, San Antonio TX as a Military Training Instructor
I currently own a Springfield Armory XD40.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this forum so far and look forward to reading/speaking with you.

Welcome to the forum.

I noticed you've spent time at Lackland. My younger brother was there earlier this year for his training. He's now the Air Force's equivalent of military police (I forget the exact term they use), and he's stationed in New Mexico. Dad & I joke with him that he's guarding the little green men.

The NRA & TSRA are a bargain; they're much cheaper than the cold, dead hands experience.

Welcome MTI, and thank you for your service!

Longtooth is down the road a stretch from me, although we haven't met face to face. Of the many "EasTex" folks here, I'm at the northern end, just outside Texarkana. They're all good folks. :grin:
