Please welcome Michigan's newest Instructor in Training - icecoldkidd! (aka as Jason).

The icecoldkidd is familiar to many in Michigan (and other states!) and I am pleased to communicate that he has accepted an expanded role by joining the instructor cadre.

The icecoldkidd has proven his Rifleman skills by scoring above 210 on an AQT, shooting both left handed and right handed! (Anyone else out there accomplished this objective?)

He now begins the rewarding path of becoming an instructor and helping spread the Appleseed mission. Please welcome him into the Appleseed Community!

Best regards,

Rangerat67

Thank you for that very positive introduction.

Contrary to popular opinion, I will NOT be turning in my Mattress Panel (shooting mat) any time soon, as there is more I wish to learn and accomplish.

But I am starting to realize that I may have also bitten off little more than I can chew with this 245 page monstrosity in front of me. (yes, it has been printed and portions already read, 11 things SB don't tell me has already proven to be true *wink wink*)

Looking forward to being as helpful to others, as those that were to me.

Welcome to the family!
"If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?" -- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Great to have you on the team, Jason! Let me know if you need any help digesting that manual, but don't feel like you need to read it cover-to-cover before you get underway as an IIT, you can focus on the content for each Progress Check on Appleseed Academy.
"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leaders, and concerting measures in opposition to each other." ~John Adams 1780

Brave men fall with a battle cry
Tears fill the eyes of their loved ones, and their brothers in arms
And so it went for Joseph Warren
It should have been different, it could have been easy
His rank could've saved him, but a country unborn needs bravery
And it spread like wildfire

Welcome aboard the crazy train Jason!  :beer:
During the seventy years which elapsed between the overthrow of the Stuart dynasty and the victory of Wolfe on the Heights of Abraham, the relations between the American colonies and the British government were, on the whole, peaceful; and the history of the colonies, except for the great and romantic struggle with New France, would have been almost destitute of striking incidents. In view of the perpetual menace from France, it was clearly unwise for the British government to irritate the colonies, or do anything to weaken their loyalty; and they were accordingly left very much to themselves. Still, they were not likely to be treated with any great liberality,â€"for such was not then, as it is hardly even yet, the way of governments...
