My name is Justin and I live about 12 miles outside of the city of Watkinsville, which borders Athens. I am extremely interested in helping out any way I can. I read the tacked thread above entitled "how you can help in GA", but I am not sure what area has the most need since it was started in 2009. I will send a PM to the moderator of this forum.
I am a 32 y/o Father of one (2 y/o girl), Husband, Marine Corps Veteran, Small Business Owner, and escapee of Milwaukee, WI ;). I met my Wife when I was stationed in Beaufort, SC. She is from Jefferson, GA. I like to clarify that I was not a Combat Marine. I notice that when you tell people you are a Marine, they usually assume you were on the front lines. I was not. I was an Aircraft Power Plants Mechanic, specifically on the F/A-18 Hornet. Many other Marines had it much tougher than myself, although I am proud of my service and did shoot expert on the rifle range a few times :).
I truly look forward to meeting some good people here and helping the cause move forward. If anyone has some insight into this, please let me know.
Wow, 27 view and no responses. Tough crowd.
I am sure Georgia would be grateful for your help. I order to get started might I suggest a PM to friedenmeister.
I am in Pennsylvania and basically do not want to inject myself into another state as I have no first hand knowledge nor the ability to follow up on it's behalf.
If after a day or so you still get no response PM me and I will try to get you the help you seek.
Will do. Thanks ;)
Welcome aboard, Justin. Don't worry about not being a "Combat" Marine. Your service to this country is greatly appreciated. Your desire to get involved with Appleseed further demonstrates that you are a man, a patriot, who knows what he is about. Your family, your community and your country need courageous and determined individuals such as yourself to step up to the plate and take charge of responsibilities that lie ahead of us. If not us, then who? If not now, then when? Semper Fi, Marine ~ Two Wolves

I appreciate that. I really am hoping to make the next shoot so I can start moving in the right direction.

Welcome HD,
The quickest way to get involved with Appleseed is to help with a shoot. If you've already qualified Rifleman we can always use more enthusiastic, dedicated orange hats. We also have plenty of opportunities for Applecore volunteers, Blue Hats, to help promote Appleseed just about anywhere.
Our next event here in Rising Fawn (NW Georgia) is October, we'd welcome your help then and I'm sure you'll get others to take you up on your offer to help in the meantime.

You can leave Milwaukee, but I bet you still talk funny, dontcha know, hey.
Hey Justin, Sorry for replying to old post I don't check in here much. I am in Oconee as well, I have been to Toccoa and worked with my range (Elberton) and a couple of my buddy instructors to have a shoot there. Shot Rifleman there I must add! I hope Elberton becomes a regular shoot. Anyway, glad to have you on.
