Howdy, I'm Head Beaver!
My husband is a member and long-time Cola Warrior. Apparently, you get married to a Cola Warrior and you have two choices: join, or kick your husband out to these events to go participate in frat boy antics out in some corner of the country with a bunch of other self-identified gun-nerds and cultists. I joined. I had no issues with thermoregulation. I attended my first Cola Warrior in October 2016 in Appomattox, VA while 3 weeks post-surgery from having a tumor the size of a football removed from my right ovary. Diagnosed Stage 1 ovarian cancer with a sex-cord stromal tumor at age 27 and had a 8.5 inch gut cut that went from above my belly button to my nether-regions. So, I joined my husband at CWE, cheered him on, slept on a blanket, and started talking to other Cola Warrior who encouraged my participation. Once I started healing, I started going out to the range more regularly. My competitive nature was fueled by finding I could shoot, and could improve, and could be challenged by something new and different. The people that attended were respectful, but gave me hell and fueled my curiosity. March 2017: I competed for the first time, shot a 9mm M&P like shit, cleared out the rifle targets after cussing my tongue out about a chamber flag, and pussed out on my last half soda....but didn't puke. Believe me, that last half soda is haunting me. It cost me Top Lady. I personally loath myself for not pushing myself more, but I will give myself an ounce of grace for being 6 months post-surgery and my doctor thinks I'm a nutcase for not giving myself more time to heal. After CWSE, I was encouraged to sign up for arfcom, and here I am. Thanks to Geissele, Magpul, MOA Targets, Smith & Wesson, and a bunch of new friends at Cola Warrior, I'm building my own AR and joining the ranks. So, hi to all 87 of you, F U Arock, and something something Red Sun. Guess I'll learn. |

Why "Head Beaver"?
Well, I used to be a teacher of preschool students. One of my students was telling me a story about his mother was talking on the phone to another woman, and called this lady, "a beaver". I expressed how I don't know how I would feel if someone called me, "a beaver". Beavers have funny looking flat tails, and big buck teeth, and they make their homes out of wood. At this point, my rather adorable student shook his full head of curls, and said, "No, no, no! Not a BEAVER! A B-WORD!" and accentuated the last part of his statement with wide eyes and a serious frown. My response was, "Oh...OH! Yeah....that's not a nice word. I don't like anyone calling me the B-word." This conversation turned into me getting called, "Head Beaver", as I was the lead teacher in the classrooms. So, the name kinda stuck as an inside joke between myself, my now husband, and a few of my friends. When trying to find a username that would be memorable, and hopefully bring a smile, I decided on Head Beaver. |
