New to site from California

[UpAllNightDude]

Hey guys, I'm a Fire Controlman currently stationed in Norfolk on the USS Bainbridge. I've been in the Navy for 3 years and in Virginia for almost 2, why I never looked for a gun forum in this state till now I don't know. But I do know that I'm never going back to California if I can help it! Hope to see some of you at the range sometime!

Allingeneral, what type of FC were you, if you don't mind me asking?

[allingeneral]

I was an Aegis Display (UYQ-21) and ACNT (UYQ-70) type. And you must be either Aegis, MK86 or T-hawk, eh?

Welcome to VGOF and (relative) freedom.
We might have already seen each other without knowing it.
Send me a PM if you wanna go shooting in Norfolk some time.

Will do man! I might be headed to a range this weekend. I heard some good stuff from some Blackwater guys this week about a range called C2. Maybe you've heard of it?

Aye, I've heard advertisements on the radio and from people who know people that have been lol. Never been myself as I no longer have any long guns. (Hope to change that soonish) I could do with some longer range pistol shooting though.

Hey - there's nothing wrong with Baseline 5! We used the #4 illuminator to pick up satellite tv back in my day before they had TV and internet onboard while underway!

Nice! How'd you guys manage that? only way I can think of is using SARTIS, but that's just my guess.

Also, I think Baseline 5 is getting phased out. From what I understand all of the Cruisers are supposed to be getting upgraded to 7.1
