Good day, gents...

It's come to my attention that I need to re-introduce myself.

Years previous I had another username / account that began in 2006...profile and introduction completed at the time.

Something I'll label as a 'computer gremlin' occurred around 11/2012 and I could not log back on or have the site recognize the account. I started a new account under the current username, filled in my profile, but neglected to re-introduce.

I want to start by saying, to all our members in uniform, past and present, thank you for your service.

You men (and women) are in my thoughts daily and always present in my prayers.

I found this site via Socnet.com back in the day while searching for information regarding Special Forces and other Special Operations units.

I am a college graduate, former Fed LEO and now work in the private sector. I wish only to spend my time here researching topics of interest, increasing my knowledge, and, as always, only asking a question if I have exhausted the search function or that of Google.

Over the years, I have found endless amounts of information and look to the opinions of QP's on world events, history, politics, tactics and armaments.

Your site is very useful and thank you very much for the resources that are provided here, and allowing me a presence on your board.

Patrin.
