EEEE shot Rifleman on the last AQT of the day on Patriot's Day weekend (and received his baptism with the waters of the North Bridge)...over the last week he has agreed to become part of the Michigan Instructor cadre! Bryan started shooting with us last fall, braved a Winterseed this February and came through in April.
Join me in welcoming EEEE! He's already signed up for Oscoda June 20-21....the SB for that shoot needs to slap a hat on that man and get him to WORK!

Welcome! Glad to have you aboard!
Congratulations, and welcome aboard.
Now grab a bucket! ~~:)
Huzzah!
It will be great to meet you up here in the Northeastern Lower.
Welcome aboard.
4E - It was a pleasure sharing the range with you last weekend! Thanks for joining us on the trail, I know you will "spring" into action...
Congrats! Welcome to the club.
Welcome EEEE! Glad to have you as a part of the Michigan Cadre. I look forward to working with you in the future.
But if you are going to stay, I think you will have to give SteelThunder a pair of those spring shoes if he plans on being in any of the pictures.

You know...you try to be helpful to these young instructors and as soon as they start getting air beneath there wings....WHAM!!!!...they stab you in the back ;D
Huzzah and welcome aboard! It's been great working with you as a shooter and I look forward to working the line with you! ^:)^
So now you need to tell me...how do I pronounce "EEEE"?
John
WAY TO GO EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I was actually wondering this myself.
The four "E"s come from my surname, which is an old Dutch word. Now, just to make things fun, the Dutch don't speak English - so they use the same letter for different sounds, and there are no hints to which you should use. In the example of my last name, the first pair of Es is pronounced as a hard "A" (like the "A" sound in lane) while the second pair is pronounced as a hard "E". (like the "E" sound in here). So it could be read as "Æ" - the latin dipthong [ai] which sounds like the hard "I" sound in like, or like a pirate's Aye.
But then no one would know it was me on the firing line.
So 4Es is probably the best route to take.
Thank you all for the welcome!
I'm doing as much reading as I can cram in between college courses so I'll be ready for assisting in June. I wish I could help out in Watervliet but I have mandatory overtime this weekend.
Got it. I'm just glad your name isn't Liinhiir--I would not want to get clobbered! ;D
I can see I'm going to be learning from you. First Fata Morgana, now intricacies of Dutch pronunciation. And you've already been exposed to ST2's patented simplified expanded KD traveling show. We will have a good time on the trail and do a lot of good work.
