I shudder at the thought of being
considered a "lurker". I just joined the site yesterday after finding it
on the NASAR website, so I really haven't had time to lurk yet. Glad I
could nip that problem in the bud.
Just for reference, I am a former
deputy sheriff and FTO with the Mounted Division of the Fulton County,
Atlanta, GA Sheriff's Department. I also served on the GA State MSAR
team for several years. I am also a former Sr. Chief in the US
Navy.
Currently I am the Events Coordinator and Logistics/Supply
Officer for Code 3 Associates, Inc. based in CO. We are an animal
disaster SAR response team which responds anywhere in the lower 48 states and
Canada as well as conducting 20-25 classes nationwide for training
animal control officers and equine humane investigators. I am also a
one-,am mounted SAR when the situation calls for it.
I hope to be an
active part of this group now that I'm here, but please feel free to contact
me directly if there are any questions or information I might to able to
supply from what little knowledge has gotten stuck to me over the
years.

Welcome Trooper! Glad you found this list!
We're not all lurkers all the time- just some of the time! <G>
I think I just saw your outfit at Equine Affaire in Ontario. I was
impressed. I really wanted to stop and ask questions but everyone looked
occupied every time I got a chance to stop by. After the fire evacuations
recently here in So. Cal. it became very apparent to me that our Posse is
woefully undertrained for a disaster of that magnitude! We need
help!
Anyway, welcome to the group. Glad you jumped right in and
introduced yourself!!
