New to the forum

[AFAMMOJOE]

Hi all,
My name is Joe and I am new to this forum. I am an Air Force veteran and a Department of Defense employee. I am interested in survival skills because you never know whats gonna happen tomorrow or even later today. I am a gun owner, I have the marksmanship ribbon from the Air Force with the M-16. I enjoy all kinds of outdoor activities even though I dont get to participate as often as I'd like. I am 29, married with 2 little boys. Life couldn't get much better for me, thats why I need to prepare for it to get worse.

Joe

Welcome home and thanks for your service.

A good place to start is at home. Make certain all the common problems like fire and CO alarms are in place, door locks and door frames are secure and window locks are functional. Making your home secure from accidents and intruders is about the best place to start in my book. Once you have that covered then start branching out.

Welcome home! Thank you for serving, It is appreciated. There are some other vets here as well so don't feel like the lone stranger. A couple have already said "Hello" to you. Rick is right, Start at home. Some simple things like first aid kits, buying some extra can goods, and water will actually give you a "Leg up" over some if not many out there. Some of "Survival" is just common sense mixed with Foresight..... "Preps" and skills are most of the "extras". But just plain old Common sense will go a long way.
