I must be honest here and say that when I joined the gang I was in the hospital with my wife who was pregnant. The docs were planning on at least 3 weeks and it turned into 4 and a half. But anyways, while we were there I had my first taste of high speed internet. Well I had joined in October and this was the end of December. We got to listen to the gunfire outside our window in beautiful Flint Michigan that night. But I read everything in the Pow Wow and was like now what? So I started looking around and found the State forum's and then was like now what? Then I found those legend forums and I was busy for awhile. That is when I realized that I truly was surrounded by the best people on the planet everytime I logged in. This is also the site that helped me make it thru my 2nd deployment to the sandbox. I couldn't be doing the thing that I had grown to love but it was like I was doing exactly that right here online. Thank you TradGang and the members that are responsible for making this such a awesome site. Sorry to ramble on there but I had to tell the whole story,lol. Mike
