Hello Folks,
I'm Sledge. It's a nickname that evolved from when I was in the service. I'm a slightly past middle age guy who is in pretty good shape. I was originally on Lock and Load, when Straight Prep took it's place I traveled to that site. Now that it's going on to bigger and better things, I've made myself at home here.
I'm a bit of a tin foil hatter. If fact, though it's never been said, I fully believe that on Straight Prep thatguy initiated the tin foil hat board in my honor. [Or to find a place to hide my posts.
] I have this uncontrollable urge to know what is going on in the news and to try to put the pieces together to form a picture.
Having worked for one company that closed and another that sold, I've decided I'm going to make my own way so that I don't have to count on a company to keep me fed. So I got a part time job in a treasure museum as security, opened an LLC, and I'm using what I learned in the military and since to teach firearms and self defense courses. It's not the GI Bill or the VA, but it will do. Thank you Uncle Sam.
I currently live in Florida, but have properties in NE Arkansas in the Ozarks that I plan to make my way to. I have a prepper girlfriend who lives a couple of towns over. She's in really great shape too.
And we're working on our prepping plans on pretty much a continual basis.
I like the group of people that I've met on this and the previous sites. They are a good bunch. (Reaver that includes you. I tease you every chance I get, but I am really fond of you. No Homo.)
If I can help any of the new members, and I guess the old ones, just let me know.
