Came here in 2014 after I retired from active duty. I decided to teach NJROTC for my next career and TX has a lot of schools with the program. I couldn't return to my native CO because while I was in the USN CO turned into CA and I refuse to live in CA or any place like it. My family got to what became CO before the Civil War but nearly all have left the state now due to CA transplants.

I've been here since 2022. I came across the Rio Grande and now they're wanting to take me to Washington DC to live in Joe's house. Who's Joe?! Epic... That is funny!!!!

Came to Texas in 1990 from Maryland and Southern Illinois. This is my home. Love Texas and folks here. Already have my burial plot and headstone. Strangely enough, Stephen F. Austin and I share a common ancestor in Richard Austin II (1598-1638).
Only at the end do you realize the power of the Dark Side.

Dad is from OK. Mom from KS. I was born in Little Rock, but I usually don't admit that. Moved to Texas when I was less than 6 mos old. I may not have a Texas birth certificate, but I'm as much a Texan as anyone else born here.

I moved to Sweetwater in 1992 from Roswell NM. I was actually born in Colorado but moved to NM when I was 2. I moved to Lubbock in 1995 to go to Tech and have never left.
My parents are dead and I have no siblings. The only reason I am in Lubbock is my wife is from here and has a ton of family in the area and wants to be close to them. With my job I could live pretty much anywhere within say 6 hours of here. If it were up to me I darn sure wouldn’t be in Lubbock. It’s a decent town with friendly people and anything you could need but I hate having to drive over an hour to hunt or fish for that matter.
My dream place would be living on land that I could hunt, decent fishing within 30 miles or so, and close enough to civilization to keep the wife happy.
