He could be French or Belgian!Her name is a clue, too. Michele... ma belle....

That would be Michel (no e at the end).He could be French or Belgian!
True, but it could be a confused Frenchman. Or heaven forbid, a French Canadian. They are all born to be contrarian.That would be Michel (no e at the end).
But I will gladly accept that PGB's @Michele is a woman and an accomplished gun builder. In my short time here she has already been so helpful!
Indeed that is all true and I am not surprised at all re: your former rank and experience or Michele's. My father was a WWII ('42-'45 Pacific) and Korean War Navy vet. He remained in USN service for 12 years. I took a different path, but later in life spent a lot of time on MSC ships. The appeal of being at sea must be genetic.@Michele is a treasure! Very cool person with serious mechanical and artistic chops! We are lucky to have her here!
And she's a retired Navy Chief. That's a big deal. For those that weren't in the Navy, Chiefs (E-7 ~ E-9 rank) are the people that REALLY make the Navy work.
I was an officer, and I quickly learned that Chiefs are a tremendous resource and to be respected. It helps that my first and best friend in the Navy was a "Mustang" who went from E-1 to E-7 (Chief) and then to officer as an O-1 and retired as an O-6!
Honestly I thought you were french lol I'm not used to women being this engaged in the groups is all. My wife will slap me on your behalf later lol.Her name is a clue, too. Michele... ma belle....
I apparently just read poorly lol ironically my wife who didn't understand my obsession with building ... went to shot show with us and now .... I'm sourcing parts for her first second and third as well as an ar ... .and she wants my last sig 80% mup1 too ...This is going to be expensive.I took a little French in school. So a little French lesson. There is masculine words and feminine words.
Masculine words rarely if ever end in e
Female words nearly always end in e
I believe Spanish is similar.
La balle (bullet) is feminine
Le pistoet (pistol) is masculine
So…
Michel = male
Michele = female
What’s funny bout the whole thing is I am not one bit French, I’m a Polack
Masculine words rarely if ever end in e
@MicheleMichele = female
@Michele
WAT?
Not in America.
We had Michelle in our face for eight long years and nobody did the Crocodile Dundee Check on him. Or, they're no longer alive to tell their story.
