As of March 1st 2013 I'm no longer pursuing my 6 year attempt to try out for USAF Pararescue. I've found out that I medically am not qualified and I can't continue further with this career choice. I've lost 160 lbs all together now and I've gotten myself up to the physical standards so I can't say that this has been a null pursuit.

I started thinking of Op: Hope and Tyler and his mother. I started thinking of how an act of giving back to someone changed...

Most of the people on the boards these days don't know who I am (and quite frankly, I prefer it that way), so do. Some remember what it was like to go to every airsoft game and actually be able to identify and relate to every person on both teams. Some of the best times I ever had playing airsoft were before the slew of obnoxious rules and limitations that have come and gone over the years.

I used to be a moderator (and then administrator) on these forums years back, and from time...

Something that may sound like common sense but everyone forgets at some point, don't leave your radio on. Check to be sure that all of your radios are fully charged...
