I'm posting this in the forum section that seems to get the most traffic. Shipwreck, if you think there's a better place for it, please move it.

I've been called to active duty with the Arizona National Guard, for the mission on the nation's southern border. You may have seen some coverage on the TV. Anyway, I will be stationed in Yuma for probably at least a year, and perhaps more. Thus, I won't be affiliated with Galco for that year, at least in a formal capacity.

I'll still post on the forum -- I should have internet access -- but keep in mind that my Galco information may no longer be current.

Thank you for your service. I'm well aware of how fortunate I am. It's an easy assignment compared to an overseas tour. But even from a military standpoint, I'm glad I got the border mission, since I'd rather be protecting MY country, MY state, and MY family rather than someone else's. Illegal border crossings are already down by over 20% since the Guard arrived, so I think we're making a difference.

I've seen a lot of illegals already, many of them in the custody of the Border Patrol. Most of them are basically pathetic people living in a kind of poverty that's hard for Americans to imagine, trying to make a better life for themselves and often for their children (who are even more pathetic). That doesn't excuse their illegal acts, but it does make it easier to understand. There are also some VERY bad dudes mixed in with them -- I've seen many of their arrest records -- who need to be stopped for the safety of the American people.

Thanks for all the good wishes, guys! I appreciate it.

+1 on everything you said. I totally agree with your viewpoints.
