I'm Rick, Obviously I'm in Alaska, about 40 miles north of Anchorage (Alaska's largest city) I'm a former USAF Civil Engineer who deployed a bunch to Korea, Japan and Saudi Arabia and ETS'd after a decade of fun. I have worked in a few careers after the my military service ended and was a gear reviewer with Graham at www.loadoutroom.com, www.thearmsguide.com, www.paragraph4.media, and I wrote for a while before that at Sofrep.com under Force12Media & HurricaneMedia After using my Voc Rehab I graduated from Bellevue University (Nebraska) with a BS in Project Management and put my skills as an CE Troop and schooling to use in my current role as an Emergency Manager (Think FEMA) where I work hand with locals, tribal governments and their agencies to respond to disaster and build things better than before or make them so they don't break essentially. I'm a huge nerd about guns, hockey and photography. Glad to be here and yes I chat alot when bored or on too much coffee

Small world, I lived in Lorain County for my formative years (1979-2993) and spent a ton of time running around the Cleveland and Cuyahoga County Area. Haven't been back much since I enlisted but I thought of moving back to Lorain County.

Beretta M1951 is one of the most fun pistols I have ever owned. A mil surplus Ive never cleaned and only fed the worst cheapest ammo I can find and it loves it. Paid like $249 for it last year and its a brick that I love.
