New to the state, new to AA, new to airsoft
« on: August 10, 2006, 05:27:22 AM »
Hello, I'm so glad I found these forums!

About myself, I recently turned 31 and I was in the US Navy for 10 years as a Cryptologist/Electronic Warfare Technician. During that my first 5 years, while stationed onboard a Spruance destroyer, I was a member of the ship's Security Response team and VBSS team (Visit, Board, Search and Seizure). We performed drills and training about once a week in addition to my regular job. For six months during the second half of my career I was assigned to the Security Department onboard USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71 (aircraft carrier) where I worked in naval law enforcement and force protection. I just recently moved to AZ about 8 months ago to accept a job I was offered.

I've always been interested in military sim activities, ranging anywhere from table-top games like Harpoon to the occasional paintball game when I could find it (was never hardcore). I just recently learned about airsoft, so I did a google search for "Airsoft AZ" and stumbled onto this site. By the looks of things I found the right place, this is exactly what I was hoping for.

What I'm looking for, what I'd like, is to find a mentor. Someone that I can communicate through forum PMs or emails for guidance, wisdom and experience... and maybe even membership in a team or organization.

Oh yeah, I live in Queen Creek, which is a community right outside of the Phoenix metro area (for those that don't know).

Enough rambling on... glad to be here!  :)

Welcome to the forums.  We are always glad to add more to the group. There are many here with prior and active military experience as well.   Players do not all have military experience, people range from students, to law enforcement, pilots and engineers. Great mix of people here.  

If you have questions many things have been discussed and you can find them by searching. Though sometimes the search function can fail to bring up all of the results. So if you still have questions please feel free to ask them.  See you out there.

Welcome!   It is always good to hear when new players have military experience.  We hope to see you at games and maybe learn something from you.  This is a great sport, hobby and obsession!

You have to be quick on the draw if you want the kill. ;)
