A hearty congrats to MacMcM on setting a new land speed record.... rifleman patch to red hat in 0.42 seconds... This particular Thundering Herd member is showing the 'eers how it's done.

BTW, what is the proper singular form of "Thundering Herd?" [  just curious......  it doesn't require a formal PM or anything   ^-^  ]

and.....
what happened to the Godfather of WV Appleseed? He is usually the first to know/ post/ and update all these promotions and things. Cripes he hasn't even updated the  WV members page yet, and it has been eight days?!  >:D
Let's all hope The Machine didn't get lost in the tomatoes!  ;D

Let's see, WV has gone from one red hat to six in the past six months! Not bad for a bunch of red necks!

Hillbillies can be slow to get stirred up but once they do they are single minded an will hold back nothing to accomplish their purpose. 

If you don't believe that just pay attention at the next coal miner's strike. @)
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

—Jeff Cooper, The Art of the Rifle

I think Ben Franklin said much the same thing about Americans and rattlesnakes. And that's why the rattlesnake was originally suggested as the emblem on the Gadsden Flag.

He's a red hat now?  I thought he just washed his orange hat with his red undies again.

If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget you were our countrymen.

Brickhouse, I already congratulated Mac on the AAR, but you did a good job of taking the lead on the WV board.

Let's just say, I've been indisposed for a few days.  :)

Once again...and you truly deserve it Mac...CONGRATULATIONS!! Thanks for everything you have done to make AS in WV continue on the path of success!  O0

Congratulations Mac!         OH YEAH!  ..:..  OH YEAH!

And it never hurts to have a spare Red Hat Instructor or two, in case one of the old ones break or gets lost on the way back from the porta-jonny.   :-\   (It happens more often than you think.)   :P

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, gosh darn MAC!  You made RED HAT and I wasn't paying attention and missed the excitement.   %)

Congratulations!!!  You will be an asset indeed.

I look forward to meeting again, maybe in my home town  :)

I would like to see every woman know how to handle firearms as naturally as they know how to handle babies.
