Hi folks,
Im new around here and figured I would say hi. My name is ScoutingDad, and I've really never been into politics until the last few years. Im married and have two great sons. I'm an Army veteran and work in Law Enforcement. I just wanted to say Hi and Thank all of you, for standing up for Conservative principles. Ill be seeing you around here. Thanks.
Hey Dad!
Hope you enjoy the site - I was a lurker for about 2 or 3 years until I was so fired up by a post I just had to join so that I could reply!
Good luck with your boys - it’s an ever-changing world to try to shepherd those kids through these days. Ours are grown and gone thank goodness!
Thanks for joining the best site on the web! JimRob does an excellent job and I learn things here every single day.

Welcome!
Welcome FRiend! Good to have you join us!
You will find this place to be populated with some of the finest Americans you could ask for.
I’ve been here ‘officially’ since March ‘03 although lurked for a while before that.
Not only will you find thought-provoking discussions here, in many instances you will see breaking news here *first*, before it hits the lamestream media or even the Drudge Report.
When Jesus comes back, there is a good possibility some Freeper will start a live thread before anybody else hears about it, LOL!
Welcome to Free Republic.
Welcome to the FRee Republic!
Welcome! Quite bold to start your own thread on your first day. lol. Good luck! A long stay means no liberal talk. lol.
Welcome aboard! Thank you for serving.
DieHard! How are you FRiend?
Been a while, I’ve been as busy as the proverbial one-armed paper hanger.
How are things down your way?

How did you find us?
FRee Republic was a life saver for me when the Twin Towers went down and all the news we could get was CNN International down in South America.
Lots of great folks and some really cranky ones at time especially those who don't drink their morning prune juice.
ha. kidding. i'm on the job too. welcome. most people do not announce their presence here. they just get chastised for being a rookie.
and another thing you will hear: welcome to FR!
As you can see, lots of good people here. Welcome.
Welcome ScoutingDad! KUDOS to your organization!
I'm just happiness challenged this early in the morning....:-)
Can honestly say that I love being semi retired and working from home.
I certainly am hooked on FRee Republic and especially on this country we call America.
Gidday mate!
Things are going well DownUnder, but busy. Like you, I’ve been up to my neck: it’s Annual Plan time, and I keep procrastinating. Now I’ve got a ton of stuff to write over the next couple days, rather than nicely spread out like it was a couple weeks ago...
(My own fault — procrastination is a self-inflicted injury that is always punished as such...)
We’re well into winter now: yesterday afternoon we had a ten-minute explosion of hailstones the size of golf-balls (no exaggeration) in the jungles where I live. Tore up the vegetation something shocking. My beret only covers one ear, so my left ear got nailed a few times before I managed to take cover. Now it is still quite tender, but the swelling has gone down some.
Weather in Auckland is like that: it lasts ten minutes then it changes completely.
It must be sliding nicely into summer up Baltimore way?
LOL
See my post to MKJ.
