Posting? OK I'm new at it.

Hey all. My time in SF was with 5th Group when we were still in Bragg. then DLI then 1st Group. After Oki, I made my way to OH and served with 11SF then 19SF, while working in law enforcement. I bought my military time and retired early as a precinct sgt. with Columbus Police. Later I worked with the UN in East Timor, then worked contracts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Oh the fun. Last year I hiked the A.T. start to finish as a thru-hiker, 5 months. My trail name is Mingo. I went with that because it is the name of my Masonic Lodge. Mingo Lodge 171.

I don't usually get into political debates. I voted for both Bushes which I don't mind saying and I voted for Obama to which I feel equally valid for doing. I vote for whom I believe will serve our country during its current needs. I have never spoken poorly about a sitting president, not even Clinton during the Monica affair. Calling our president names and saying crap like "get the guns" is out right wrong! Being in SF gave me enough strength and knowledge to realize our government is not perfect but it is stronger when we work together.
