Welcome home and welcome to the site, Brother. Sorry to hear you're in WR, but that's better than at least one alternative. Thanks for all you've done for this great Nation. How about telling us a bit more about yourself?

Always remember: BROS BEFORE HOES.
It beats the shit out of the alternative. Hell, if I'd ever known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself.

Welcome Paratrooper.
Take care of that C3. Build up you neck slowly because you will be in a world of hurt if you inadvertantly cause more damage.
BTW your new SOP is to Thank God on a regular basis because there damn sure was a guardian angel looking over you.
Good to have you home.
