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!
