So I joined this site yesterday after looking for a few minutes for local guns for sale. It's seems like a cool site with lots of great info. I am deploying middle of this year to the "Stan", for round number 2. I just bought some 22LR's (a Kimber and a S&W M&P 15/22) for getting back behind the gun and remembering what it's like to shoot again! I'm completely addicted to shooting again, and I need to curb my spending on firearms before leaving. I'll be lurking on here before, during and after I deploy to stay current on most of the topics relating to NFA and what not. Thanks for being a great source of info, and I'll be sure to be asking plenty of questions at one point or another!
Ok so I replied on page 3 to everyone, but I wanted to re-edit this main one to put a call out to anyone going and shooting rifles of any sort (AK,AR Bolt Actions preferably). I would buy my own ammo or reimburse you for what you reloaded. I just want to shoot something more than my 22 and M9.

Welcome to the site and thank you for your service.
I sent you a PM; please attend to the requirement quickly.
Keep your head down, your firearms clean and lubed & full of ammo, and that's just for cruising this site.
Keep in mind you might be able to access this site while deployed, so drop in and say hello from time to time.
Until then, enjoy the site!
Welcome to the site and thank you for your service to our country

If you need some deployment porn and have an external HD with 250gb or so of free space I'll hook you up.

Thanks for the replies guys! It's nice to know troops have support even when sometimes it feels like they don't. But i know there are plenty of supporters of what we're trying to do and to that I say, THANK YOU!!
Zteknik- I will definintely be treating myself to some new toys when I get back.
TheGinsue- I updated my location per the requirements.
TheRat- no probs on the deployment porn, i have my HD from last time, so I am A OK!
I'll be sure to send some pics when i finally get downrange. Until then I am going to be training and what not. Also I just wanted to clarify that I'm a national guardsmen here in Denver, so that's why I need to start shooting again. Theres not enough time in a weekend usually to do all the things a soldier needs to do to be prepared. So I'll be borrowing the roommates AR and going and getting some range time. Also if anyone else is going shooting anything high powered and doesn't mind a tag along who pays for his own ammo, I would love a chance to go along!
Thanks again!

SerinJune, Thanks for your service. I am a newbie here on this site as well. I tried shooting my new AR a couple days ago, but with a messed up back, it hurt WAY too much, so I need to go back to the light stuff for a while. Good luck and keep your head low.
