Sensai Posted May 21, 2014 Report Posted May 21, 2014 Hi, I'm Gary (Sensai) I'm a retired Army helicopter pilot. I flew 1st Cav MedEvac in Vietnam and got tired of being shot down. Then I got a Cobra transition, and flew Snakes for the rest of my time in the Army. I was a Cavalry troop aeroweapons (guns) platoon commander during Desert Storm. I was a test pilot for every aircraft the Cav had, and served as Maintenance Officer most of the time. Nowadays I'm working as an Instrument Technician at a nuclear power station to keep busy and to pay for the toys. I enjoy time with the grandkids and watching them grow and develope. I spend what little spare time I have shooting and reloading. I also cast bullets (boolits). I have a few pieces of metalworking equipment, a mini-lathe and a mini-mill. My intentions are to build a DPMS pattern long range semi-automatic rifle and an AR carbine. We'll see how that goes! I hope that I can add something to the forum, because I already know that I'll be learning a lot from you folks.

Sensai Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Posted May 21, 2014 Welcome from AZ ! Anywhere near Farmsville ? Not real close. I'm in what they call "Tidewater", and Farmville is closer to south central Virginia.

Thanks for your military service, I've always been intrigued by the stories of Vietnam heli veterans ever since I read a book called "Apache Sunrise", I'll bet you have a few hair raisers yourself. Enjoy your time here, we're glad to have you.
