    Marc: 18 years is a decent stretch in the military and you have no doubt contributed lots as well as come away a better man for the experience. Have a beer for those of us still soldiering on. Best wishes for your new career and enjoy your fist season with that new cannon. Great pic, BTW!

    Congrats on the retirement Marc, inspite of the circumstances. Beauty of a shotgun too! Should be hell on anything that flies.

    Congratulations on your retirement Marc. Glad to hear you're moving right into another job. Too many folks I retired with died within a few months of retiring because they did nothing and vegetated.
    Seems like everytime I had Kidney stones it hurt like hell, but I'll never forget the worse pain of trying to pass the damn things. Had to back up about 3 blocks before the first drop got out.
    It's only when you see a mosquito land on your testicles that you realize there are other ways to deal with problems than violence.

    Congrats on your retirement. I am still in after 31-1/2 years and I need to pull the pin. Lucky for me my wife says I can have an extra week for hunting if I release............hmmmm.

    Too bad you can't pass the stones semi-automatically . Nice shotty, I am sure it will get lots of use this year!
