New Guy From Florida

[Ret-Sarge]

New guy from Panama City, Florida. I am retired Air Force did almost 23 years before I was medically retired. My family has been in the military non-stop for 53 years since my dad joined,  dad (USAF 62-88), me (USAF 86-08) my brother (USAF 96-Present) my son (USMC 07-Present). I am a military history nut in general and love military surplus weapons.

I am not too new to milsurps (Bought my first one in 2011) but I am new to the SKS having acquired my first one in May. So I guess you can say I am a SKS virgin.

I have amassed a small milsurp collection so far, along with a few commercial weapons, and there are many more on my wish list. My little collection so far.

Welcome!  That's a very nice collection  I have similarly diverse interests

I was a civilian scientist at Armstrong Laboratory on the opposite side of Hwy 98 from the flight line at Tyndall AFB, from 93-97.  The F-15s were cool to watch but I especially loved hearing F-16s take off with full afterburners on those relatively rare occasions they did so
