Moving to AZ. Cali is too expensive and has gotten even crazier then when I left 8 years ago.

Hey!!!Your a "Gunny"! That's about the only thing I know about the military as my pal is a Gunny.

Don't forget to do what he always does when we are out somewhere...he makes sure he gets his military discount.---6

And you'll have better 'yote hunting too!

It will probably be better for Dee and the boys -- young men, I mean -- as well.

Good luck with the move! Give my best to your wonderful family Jeremy.

Yep headed to Arizona. Less rain, Less silly gun laws, and more open space to shoot in.

J Miller · Post by **J Miller** » Tue May 17, 2016 8:57 am

Jeremy,

If you move to the Prescott Valley, or general area, check out the Ruger manufacturing plant. They like to hire retired and reserve military personal.
My cousin is retired Marine and works in the QC there. Been there for years.

Congrats on the retirement and good fortune on what ever you do in the future.

If I ever get back to AZ perhaps we'll run into each other

Joe

JReed · Post by **JReed** » Tue May 17, 2016 8:32 pm

Not Prescot we are heading to Yuma but if plans change I will keep that in mind.

It would be great to cross paths again Joe

Thats ok just remember the Air Farce is taught the if you ever find your self in combat had your weapon and rounds to the nearest Marine and seek cover

True enough, but You Jarheads always have to be retrained after a three day pass....

Funny, they never taught us that in Security Forces.....our general theory was if 30 rounds of 5.56 didn't do it, hit it with 40mm HE and start calling in heavier weapons...

piller · Post by **piller** » Fri May 20, 2016 8:24 pm

Congratulations. Hope you find a job which at least helps you be content. You have learned to put up with a lot, but you have not seen stupid until you see what civilians can come up with. As someone who was in the Army for 3 years, I can say for certain that civilians can elevate stupid to an art form. The military has enough rules to prevent too much stupidity from making its way around, although there is enough of it to cause some real headaches for everyone. Hope you enjoy being in one place for a while, and that you don't get the urge to relocate every few years.

30 rounds? We were taught one shot one kill but we always do more with less.
