Hello everyone, Air Force Security Forces 2007-2013 Dont know what else to put. Just saw this post and wanted to join in.

Sorry for the short reply, got promoted by Chris Haueter yesterday! That was super cool. Our school is a nonprofit that lets Veterans train for free. I was in from 98-10 deployed to Kuwait x 2, Iraq, Bosnia and all kinds of other fun places. Was a Fister (13F Forward Observer) for the first half of my career, made 7 in 7 then became a Warrant Officer as an Artillery Targeting Officer. Love to see this many vets training one of the best things we can do. I worked for the VA Homeless Program as a Peer Support Specialist for a while and was able to help other vets find what gave them the same type of joy BJJ gives me. Thank you all for your service!

I was enjoying the delights of a frozen lake in Norway!

Hello all, Mike Brimage US Army Military Police. Finishing up an awesome career ( retirement planned in August 2024). I started training back in 2002 while in College. I graduated college, stopped training, deployed a couple of times and in 2010 picked up training again. My PCS moves have given me the opportunity to train with some awesome people.

Thank you for saying hello and may the twilight leading up to Aug 2024 be a great close to your uniformed service.

Not many make it through a full career! I hope the last year is full of fun and eventful memories. Let me know what being a civilian is like! I left high school at 16 and was in basic training at 17. So never had a civilian job!
