Hello gents/ladies. Just wanted to make a brief introduction here. Have come in and out of this forum for quite a while now, lurking for the most part, but finally wanted to make the plunge to member. Have been spearfishing for ages now, mostly using pole spears and Hawaiian slings, though I do have a couple of spearguns I use on occassion. Am a former 0-3 Captain in the United States Marine Corps, having first served as an enlisted grunt and working my way up through OCS, TBS, Naval Justice School and on to the JAG office. Also was a member of the USMC Boxing team, and boxed competitvely for years. Anyway, it was quite a ride. Now living in the Florida Keys and Miami Beach, traveling to/throughout the Carib. and Virgin Islands quite frequently, as well as the South Pacific. Spearfishing is my passion - among many others - and it's great to find such a wonderful forum/community as this to share it with.
