With the current state of the economy i was forced to make a decision! I re-enlisted Active Duty and will be in Oregon full time at kingsley air base, unfortunately my prior AFSC (MOS) is overbooked and not taking prior service so i tested for the only critical career taking prior service, Combat Control. I tested for CCT and passed all the tests now just waiting a date for all my training to begin(prolly winter-spring 2011) I am focusing hard on my new position and other life goals. Armwrestling has been such a great sport to be involved with and the people i have met have been great! But it is not conducive to swimming or the type of training i have to focus on. So for a while (next few years) my focus will be else where. Thanks everyone for all the support and all the great people i have met! Hopefully someday i will have time to dedicate to training and my job will not conflict with this great sport!

Brandon- you have really done well in a short time! The nice thing is, it will be here when you get back. Many of us come and go, as life permits. I hope you are safe and happy man, from one Air Force vet to another.

Hey Brandon. You are by far the most respect young armwrestler on and off the table. Your sportmanship at the table is outstanding . And your a gentalman off the table. I still hope to have a chance to pull you someday. Good luck

I understand completely being active duty military and how much that affects ones armwrestling career. But, me and you are going in opposite directions my friend. You're staying in....i'm getting out. Good luck to you Brandon, had a good time hanging out with you a little bit in the past. We'll see you again, best of luck man.

Take it easy man! Good hanging with you, have fun with your dive phase. LAR-5 is an interesting rig. Double tap, center mass. Come back sometime, I'll show you how to shoot...

Brandon no one ever quits armwrestling, they may stop focusing on it for a bit but once it is in it is always in you, it will be with great pleasure that we will see you again soon.
Take care of yourself and I personally cannot thank you enough for serving your country.
Anything I could help with now or in the future please get a hold of me.
Simon
