I've been a member here for quite some time. I read a lost of the posts and get information but I'm not really into posting a lot. I am a retired Soldier, I spent 26 years in the Army. For the most time I was an Armored Crewman, or tanker. In the mid 90s my friend Mark and I started getting into rocketry. And it went fast. We were doing Estes kits one day and he was buying a 38MM Aerotech and doing Level 1 the next (it seemed). I never did certify, but between the two of us we ended up with a pile of Aerotech RMS motors, from 18 to 38. I retired in 2012 and by that time he had moved to Alaska. We've always kept in close contact, so when I finally started unpacking all my boxes I sent him his half of the things we'd acquired. I started finishing some builds that I had let sit for over 20 years. An Estes pro Series patriot, an Aerotech Astrobee D. And I started buying kits again. He was doing the same thing. It's good to be back in this hobby, and it's nice to pick right up where we left off.
