Coming back
« on: January 24, 2017, 12:32:38 AM »
For those who remember, I've been a long time player (since I was 11ish - I'm 26 now). In 2013 I ended up homeless and lost everything. I'm now married and have a beautiful one-year-old daughter. It took a long time to get back on my feet, and though I'm still stumbling, I'm leaps and bounds from where I was. Between battling depression, PTSD, etc. I managed to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Thanks to a stick donation from an AH member through Facebook I'll hopefully be back in the skies....and hitting trees....soon.

Life is still kicking me in the teeth, but I'm gonna make sure I bite the toes off as they come in. The VA (after 6 years) is finally looking over my case and hopefully I'll have my old job back in corrections instead of driving 70 miles one way to work everyday lol.

MarineUS of the Dickweed Heavy Bomber Group is ready to go back to giving 999 a run for his money on the guns.  :salute

If you ever need some thoughts on the challenges of life, or opportunities, I'm sure plenty of us have a few ideas.
