Relocated IIT

Good afternoon everyone,
I wanted to reach out to the Arizona Instructor Corps to say hello and to introduce myself. As the forum will note, my name is Mr6actual and I have been progressing through the ranks as an IIT in Virginia. I have enjoyed my AS experience immensely as both a participant and IIT and even as a 7th stepper.  The reason for the post is that my company has asked me to relocate to  and manage their Scottsdale, AZ office. I am hoping to continue my Appleseed passion with you. I am very much looking forward to completing my training... (Star Wars fans will get that reference)… My official AZ residency will begin 9 Sept of this year.
I look forward to meeting you all at an event soon.

If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible."

The Arizona cadre is a very active group and you'll find several events within reasonable driving distances.  Tumbleweed and I will also be relocating to Kingman, AZ (in the far NW corner) within the next year or so.

I'm not instructor staff but welcome to Free America!

Welcome!  Although I moved out of Arizona a few months ago, I'll likely be stopping back in on occasion, we may cross paths at some point.  Arizona is a Rifleman's paradise indeed.  It's easy to forget how much so until you go pretty much anywhere else.

Welcome to the desert, my friend!  I make the trek to Scottsdale once or twice a year. It's only a 6 hour drive to El Paso.  We're having a KD in October.  Hint. Nudge. Hint.  (and October in the desert is FANTASTIC!)

The AZ cadre is happy to have you!  Did your relocation to AZ go smoothly?

I'm going to send you a PM and exchange some contact info with you.  I'm Shoot Boss for a shoot in Kingman Nov 16-17 that would be a good introduction to AZ Appleseed.  Consider joining us.

Ugh, unfortunately, I will be in the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia that weekend.  I'm hoping I don't any of it on me while I'm there.

I was trying to get a hold of the SB for that shoot but no luck. I know we say to contact the shoot boss before signing up for an event, but I think most SB's are too busy to really watch their PM's regularly. And I hear that although it may be "the way it's supposed to happen", I think many instructors may just be signing up for events. That would also make it less important for a SB to keep on top of PM's. Something for me to think about . . .  :) At least now I don't have to convince my wife to let me take off for another weekend  ;D

BTW - Welcome to AZ and the SW region mr6actual, good luck on your trip . . .
