[Hypnogator]

Retired Special Agent, US Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID).

Carried my Gov't issue S&W Model 10 24/7 most of that time.

Wanted to retire with 20 yrs & 4 days, but we were having a little disagreement with the gentleman in Iraq at the time, so I had to stay for an extra 6 months, defending Atlanta with my .38 Special & 12 rounds.

Did a helluva job -- Not a single Iraqi got through!

[Old Dog]

Guess it's time to chip in ...

USN from 1979 until a couple months ago ... even got the chance to put my boots on dry land and carry a gun in some cool (and hot) places. More'n twenty-six years of fun ... already missing the cameraderie and the action; where'd the years go?

Still have some fond recollections of Olongapo City, too ...
