All joking aside, I have found over the years that at times shooting can be VERY relaxing.

You do a VERY necessary job Rich. One many of us, and it Especially includes me, couldn't do.
Thank you for your dedication.

My nephew is two weeks into basic training and I just got his address and am going to drop the boy a letter. Any good thoughts I should send to help the kid along? Tell him that it may seem like Hell and the D.I.'s sadistic, but they are teaching and building him up to survive. In battle, you can't just quit or give up; you have to pull out that extra reserve of strength you built up. As said before, many have gone through the same training and survived; that's what makes a Marine!

Probably just an ugly corner of it. I have more assaults, violence, addiction, abuse and chaos kicking around in my head than is healthy. Our active duty and vets have a different level than I know for sure.
Shot very well this week Randy BTW!
How is Patty feeling? We're gonna have to start calling you the Dead Eye Democrat! As far as liberals go...I'm bad!  Glad Patty's feeling better. Gotta like when a Doc does their thing right!

The boy passed the Crucible on Saturday and is now a Marine! He sounds relieved and proud. He graduates this Friday and I'll see him next week.

Please tell him "congratulations and well done", along with a Semper Fi from an old Marine!

GREAT! Glad he was successful. He now joins the ranks of dedicated heroic PATRIOTIC men and women who help safeguard our way of life. Best wished from an Old Airman.

Thanks guys!
Hopefully the weather cooperates with his parents going south for the graduation! Sounds like it may be rocky.
hmmm...M'eh...he's the only child and my brother is a wild man...he'll hook up snowmobiles or drive straight from NH for his boy I'm sure...
