Went to the Marine Corps League meeting tonight. It is so much fun to talk to the Old Corps guys and listen to them talk about things. They tend to have a different outlook on life then most people today. I think it might just be because they consider me to be a kid. Anyone under fifty is considered a kid in that room! The next youngest guys were in Vietnam when I was born. Oy!

But I did learn that on the 28th of October the Sheriff will hold a meeting there to enlist Special Deputies. No badges or anything, but kind of like Reserve Deputies but even more informal. Only to be used in case of a major disaster in this region. I guess that I will have to go! At least to check it out.

Welcome aboard

This is just a first post, but I am going to try this since my posts on FriendFinder keep getting lost or delayed. I hope this works better.

My posts are mainly going to be about politics or security issues. My two hangups. I am a news junkee and will post as my work and family life give me time.

I am also going to post things that directly affect my local area in the security arena. My area is mid Missouri, USA. This stuff can also be used by others in other quiet sections of the country. Big city folk probably will think that many of the threats now felt by us in 'fly over country' are routine.

Welcome aboard all!
