Welcome.
And as Claude said, God bless you. I spend my summer weekends up near Ft. Drum (at Sackets Harbor).
What did you do wrong that they're moving you from a nice, warm place like Lousiana to Watertown, NY? You joining up with the 10th Mt. Div? Quite a change from the swampers of LA. ::

Welcome Cav Scout!
Thankyou for your service. I know it will be enjoying for you to learn about the era of firearms that America's first military used.
God Bless

Welcome to the forum, cav scout. I think you will enjoy it here. Lots of friendly and knowledgable folks here. I am a retired 11Charlie Mortarman (retired in '91 as an E-7/SFC). I spent some time in Fort Drum and enjoyed it. First time I ever drank tap water that was ice cold!! We filled our canteens from a sink in the barracks latrine and the water was so cold that our canteens sweated (this was in July of 1986).
i'm going to drum on an AC/RC assignment. its a reserve component advisor. so i won't be with the 10th mountain. since we just returned from Iraq all of the Platoon Sergeants down here are heading to some kind of training assignment to get all the guys ready to go over. so that is how i'm heading from the swamp to the arctic,lol. i'm kinda excited about it since i have never been up to that part of the US.

cav scout, Welcome to the forum. But more importantly, THANKS for serving in Iraq. Maybe with all the members here we could suggest that the Iraqis trade in there AK-47s for frontstuffers. Kinda like convert them or shoot them since the smoke would give them away :crackup:. Thanks again.

:thumbsup: "cav scout" I salute you sir! Thank you doesn't do justice. Regardless of what unpleasantries are happening on our soil, I'm still proud to be "American". I'm a newbie to smoke poles myself. However, my Pa raised me up smellin gunpowder and trompin the woods. Welcome to the group. From what I have seen so far, we stand to learn a lot from these fellers.

i laughed about the trading thier ak 47's. actually something funny about over there. these people have no idea how to shoot. which was fine with us,lol. the first thing they would do when they would get an ak was break the stock off. when they would shoot it was always from the hip like in a movie. we all joked and would tell new guys the safest place to be was straight in front of them. the only way you would get hit is by sheer bad luck. the IED's you have probably heard about was the only thing we worried about.

Hello cav scout. Welcome home and thanks for your service. I was a 19D for about 9 years (Am I safe in assuming that's your MOS as well? lol?). I have been shooting black powder for about 25 years, and I am finding out from this site how much I have left to learn about this sport. Enjoy your guns; stick around and I think you'll learn a lot, too.
