And I have been cognizant of that ever since." —MGySgt Kevin Buckles, Senior Enlisted Advisor and Drum Major of "The Commandant's Own," United States Marine Drum & Bugle Corps

    There are a whole lot of military veterans like myself who need a ho...bby to help keep them busy and focused. I have been lucky enough to find such a hobby and would like to share that hobby with other veterans. There's a group that I created that is R/C related for military veterans and their families to join. This group has been designed for topic discussion be it R/C related or military related. Members will be able to post items they want to sell or trade as well as showing off their rigs. There will be contests held and chances to win rc items, from tools to rigs in raffle drawings and give aways! It promises to be an exciting group. Please come join us.

I may even make it to become a Drill Instructor and graduate Marines myself. I'm so excited, thank you for the opportunity to serve my country, Semper Fidelis. See More
