Ahoy

[Mark@Sea]

Hello all,

My younger brother has been pestering me about joining the forum. Home is East Tennessee - Tri-Cities area.

Unfortunately, I'm not there much. I spend about 10 months of the year shipboard for Military Sealift Command.

Aside from shooting, I have a fairly harmless hobby collecting older Coleman lanterns, stoves and lamps.

Can't think of anything else to say....

Welcome!

(I get seasick just reading about spending 10 months at sea!)

Welcome to the forum! Hope you enjoy!

Welcome aboard Mark. A few of us have heard a lot about you! All good of course.

[Mark@Sea]

Thanks Boomhower. Hope you folks had a good time! Guess I should look at building some target frames next time I'm home.

I can..let me flesh out what I know about you for the guys....

and as of late, you've been collecting vintage Hallicrafters Radios.

You're about the smartest fella I know, and an excellent shot with both pistol and rifle.

You were on the navy pistol/rifle team way back when, and you retired from the navy with 20 years.

You have a wonderful adoring wife that scored nearly perfect for her Carry permit.

You both are very kind to a younger, pestering brother.

how's that?

Welcome to the group. Hey, hope you get back home before they shut down Norfolk. I heard Al Gore say something about with all the global warming stuff going on you'd soon have to be docking in Richmond.

Hi Mark. Your brother has told me all about you.

Do you really have four ears and three eyes?

Welcome Aboard.

[Mark@Sea]

Don't really pay much heed to Big Al's Globaloney...

Thanks, Joe - I haven't been seasick for years (One really bad storm in the north atlantic in the mid-80's we were all heaving for 3 or 4 days, haven't been in anything that bad since.) Just homesick.

Thanks for the kind words, all...

Welcome!!!

Welcome from Corryton, next time you get home we gotta have a shoot!

[Mark@Sea]

Sounds good, Mike

Hope to be home in November....

Welcome from Tipton County. When I retired from the USN I retired from the sea. The N Atlantic can get rough.

[Mark@Sea]

Thanks Chief,

Wish I could retire from the sea. Know anyone in NE TN that needs a Comm/Radar tech/operator with a clearance?
