kevin c Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Forensic Firearms Examiner / Armorer / Bomb Technician / Trainer for a State LE Agency That sounds kinda neat. But the bomb stuff sounds more than a bit nerve wracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scirocco38s Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) Forensic Firearms Examiner / Armorer / Bomb Technician / Trainer for a State LE Agency I think he might end up a pretty good gunsmith too. The 9mm top you built me is running great, hasnt missed a beat in 2k(See what happens when you use good parts). I believe it is time to blue it and shoot the hell out of it. It is still a little tight but it is getting better every session. Very accurate. I work on xray equipment,(primarily cardio vascular cath labs and such.) It allows some freedom as I travel alot.

dvc40jim Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I retired from the US Army with 21 years in 2005- Most of that time in the Infantry. Then I spent about a week goofing off before I started working as a contractor for the Army training marksmanship. In 06 I decided to spend Thanksgiving, Christmas and the whole of 07 in Afghanistan training shooters. Now I'm back in the real world training marksmanship and tactics at the MP school for Special Operations. Along the way I shot some IPSC, started my own company and learned how work on grips and such. I would spend more time teaching civilian and LE marksmanship if I could just get a few more students coming this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a nice way of saying...? Pretty much, but it has been treated and doesn't remotely resemble the raw material. It kinda smells like it sometimes though.

Zerwas Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I am currently a State Patrol Trooper in my 19th year. I use a squad car during the winter months, and I ride on our motorcycle unit during the summer months (April-October). I am a firearm instructor with our agency, and have been for 7 years. I am very happy to say our agency has taken a pro-active step in the firearm training over the last 7 years. We now have troopers MOVE and shoot in some dynamic courses we set up. I know USPSA has affected my input on what type of courses and firearms qualifications we put our troopers thru (at least in my 66 trooper district). I have an added benefit to my job. I get to work on my footwork during my shift, especially during the winter months when I routinely have multiple cars coming at me sideways at 60-70mph. It really helps with reaction times and getting in and out of positions. I'm much quicker now that I have had so much practice. Oh yeah, I also get to work on trigger control when I use my Laser....

h2osport Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Wow!! Thread Revival of the day. I fix stuff. All kinds of stuff. My family and I own a tool repair business fixing all kinds of tools(electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic) during the daytime. Get to work with my brother and father daily and really enjoy that. After hours I have my own business where I go and fix large tools on location. Bulk of those are compressors, but you never know what kind of equipment I run into. Lately I have had the added benefit of working on some stuff for a large commercial reloader, and have been able to do some trading for components.
