Lol, Charles now that's a mental image I can't take. 

Im really interested in making blades. I've got to see about a building and just what the VA will pay for. A friend I was in Iraq with in 05 and 09-10 got into taxidermy and the VA paid for his school and all his equipment. I'm waiting on a call back from JESSE to see what steps I need to take. Also another veteran brother wants me to open a dispensary if medical cannabis becomes legal in Mississippi. But our state is always the last to do anything.

I updated my profile but apparently it didn't save. 

Im Chris Clark, 51 from Iuka Mississippi. I'm Retired MSARNG with one tour to Bosnia and two to Iraq. 

Charles I think a couple of my hamsters are still on the cannabis I used in High School, lol. 

I can tell so far that there's years of knowledge that I can learn from. The PTSD is a xxxxx, my nightmares aren't as frequent as they were a few years ago but they're still graphic. I woke up at 1:30 last night crying and in a pool of sweat and even with my CPAP it was hard to get my breathing back to normal.

Thank Y'all for all your help.

Thank You Sir. Words can't describe my appreciation for people like you.

Ok thank you Sir

Thank you brother and I'll do that. I got a 4 year old son that's having a fit to kill some zombies right now, lol.

Thank You Sir. Is it a subtopic in this forum or a separate page?

Im retired MSARNG with two tours to Iraq. I suffer mild to moderate anxiety and PTSD from events I had there. I've been through counseling and my psychiatrist suggested I get a hobby to help with my coping skills. I've been a fan of Forged in Fire for a couple years now. I really want to start making knives and swords and the VA and my GI Bill will pay for school and equipment. Any suggestions and directions will be greatly appreciated. I'd like to know money wise approximately what it'll cost for me to start doing this hobby/trade. Semper Fi and Cav Scouts to all my brothers and sisters. God Bless....
