Welcome and thanks for your service!
Don't even sweat the handgun purchase hoops, just get your CHP as soon as possible and then that's all you need. You don't have to get a pistol purchase permit after that. You don' t have to be a resident to take the required course for your carry permit so if you can work it in before you move then your ahead of the game. All you have to wait for then is the residency requirement. You don't have to take the class in the county you reside but you do have to apply to the sheriff in the county you will reside so check to see if they have a waiting list and get on it as soon as you have your class out of the way. |

Thank you!
I already have my GWCL (Georgia weapons carry licence) Ive looked into getting the NC permit here in Jacksonville, I just really am having a hard time accepting the fact that all of this BS has to be done to obtain it. Im gonna work on getting it though. Its a process I should probably knockout before I get out. |

Yeah I do lol,
My girlfriend of 2 years lives in cherryville, it's looking like it's gonna be something permanent so I'm wanting to stay around that area. I like gastonia, it reminds me of where I come from in GA. I'll actually be in town this weekend for the 4th. I'm thinking of checking out that new place over in shelby. I keep hearing bad things about it though so I'm not keeping my expectations really high. |

Very expensive place to be for a young LCpl. Word is they don't really like non-islanders in town, let alone .mil guys.
Thanks for your service, you guys are a rare breed nowadays. Where are you from BTW? |

Where are you from BTW? Born and raised in Griffin, GA. Its about 40 min south of ATL. Once he makes NCO he should start enjoying life a little better. LCpl can be a tough spot. especially in his MOS. |

Chain kind of food Shane's Ribshack in Franklin Square will work, added bonus of Gander Mountain to play around in. I used to go to the Passion Grill off of New Hope / Franklin, it's behind the gym and OCharlies. If you haven't noticed, going out to eat on Friday nights is impossible, I like hitting Surf and Turf in Bessemer, and NorthStar in Dallas sometimes. Good wing place is Whiskey Mill in Bessemer also. I live in Bessemer / Dallas area of the county. If you need anything I know my way around (telephone man for 15 years). |

If you did not grow up eating it you probably want like it, just like Livermush. I do miss the slaw and every time I'm in area bring some back. Blacks taste the same to me. You will have to find Tony's ice cream. Get a milkshake. |
