Well Partsman, I'll be the token Canadian. I spent 21 years in the military as a weapons technician, retiring in 1999. The first fifteen years were spent bouncing around Europe, Canada and the US. The last six years of my career I taught weapons and explosives at a technical school in Borden, Ontario. I returned in 2005 as a civilian, teaching the same stuff.
I write books. The first was completed a couple of months after I retired. I've published three to date, with two more coming out this fall. The first is called Shooting and Reloading the 303 British and the 303 Epps. The second, an outdoorsy fictional work called Memories of Mouche Noir, based on people and events of my youth in northern Ontario. It's a collection of short stories. Bits of it have been seen here over the past few years.
The only magazines in which I've been published were history and trade publications. Almost always about ammunition/wpns systems. A few articles about Lee Enfields. None of which anyone is likely to have read. Generally, I'm the one that everyone ignores at parties. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
