Congratulations are in order for Agent711 for his successful promotion to dSB!   Many years of hard work, going above and beyond, plus getting the blessing of the Senior folks, is a massive accomplishment... not an exaggeration...

Thank you for all your years of hard work, and looking forward to you minting new SB's going forward!

Huzzah!     O0  O0  O0  :bow:  :bow:  :bow:

Agent711 has been an integral part of the Maryland program since joining the instructor cadre. He is not only a great shoot boss, but a great teammate. He is all-in on the history (including period dress) as well as rifle marksmanship. This promotion is well-earned. Huzzah!

Congratulations and THANKS! for stepping up.
The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003

Thank you for the opportunity to serve as a dSB. I'm honored by the trust and confidence you've placed in me. It's a privilege to step into this role and continue contributing to the mission in a greater capacity.

I've learned so much from those who came before me, and I'm committed to upholding the standards, energy, and dedication this position demands. I look forward to working alongside all of you as we continue to grow, teach, and inspire.

Here is a pic of me hoping I make the original Agent711 proud.
