     I have served my country all my life.  I served in the United States Army from 1984-1993.  I joined the Army on the delayed entry program and trained with our Recruiter once a month in Howell.  I went to Basic Training on my 18th birthday 04 Jul 1985.  I served three years active duty as a 16P Chaparral ground to air missile operator (air defense).  One year at Camp Stanley Korea, two years at Fort Hood, 1st Cav and then 2/61AD.  I spent the rest of my Army career at Jackson Reserve Center as a 52D Generator Mechanic.

     I recently have grown concerned with the way things are going.  I don't like the way we as a country are being looked upon by certain religious groups.  I don't like that I was unprepared for the great blackout of 2003.  My family was caught off guard, with no food water or any way to defend ourselves.  That is changing. 

     My Number 1 goal is to prepare myself and my family for any event.  Be it Disaster (manmade or natural), Terrorism and or Tyranny.

     My number 2 goal is to help you to prepare for the same.  I don't feed you now, so I can't feed you in time of disaster.  But I can help you get yourself ready to feed yourself.  I can help train you to defend yourself and your family.  I can teach you survival skills.  Hunt, fish and foraging skills may be what we need.  I am no expert by any degree, but what I do know I will teach you.  Hell, you will probably even be able to teach me some stuff too!  That's what we're all about.  Gettin' together and sharing our knowledge and skills.  Helping each other out.  Starting a stone soup among friends.
