Hi all,
I'm Mick Denner and I'm proud to serve as the Regional Commander for the Southern California chapter. As we get underway, this forum will be your go-to for up to date information pertaining to Southern California events.
In the meantime, let's introduce ourselves!
I served as a Marine Combat Engineer officer from 2009 - 2016. I was mostly a West Coast Marine with time at Camp Pendleton and 29 Palms including 2 Afghan deployments.
Since 2016, I went back to school in VA and have settled with my wife and daughter in Newport Beach working in medical sales.
I'll keep this forum updated and I look forward to meeting y'all soon!
Hi, my name's Mikey Hall. I currently live in Arizona; however, Southern California is the long range plan once I finish my research at ASU in '23.
In the event that someone sees this before tomorrow, I'm interested in the Carlsbad beach clean up. What's the address for that event?
@Mikey Hall hey bro sorry I just saw this! We have more beach clean ups planned in the upcoming months as well as some other fun recreational events in the SoCal area coming up and we would love to get you involved in any way you can! I dont know if we can message on here or not, but my Instagram handle is rms1130 and feel free to message me any time. If you don’t have an Instagram I’m sure we could figure out a way to connect. Hope you have a great rest of your weekend!
I’m Joe, still on active duty at Pendleton. working my ass off is about it for me.
When I do get time, I surf, HIIT, fight, fish, and....... archery. I will help find some resources for chapter interests as my bandwidth allows. I know of a BJJ gym that is open to vets on Saturday’s for example but want to double check with them that it’s okay to put out there. I’ll look for a few more as well. I’m always down to spar and teach when my schedule permits just let me know.
Surfers of all skill levels are welcome to join my tribe. We usually surf north county dawn patrol on the weekends. It’s a good group of bros posing as surfers. Only one or two are any good but it’s a blast
Archery, I shoot with my kid often at Camp Pendleton and am happy to escort a vet on base to shoot or introduce archery to kids.
Hey Joe, thanks for the introduction. I'll reach out in a DM to set up a time to chat...would love to hear more about your surf and archery skills. Looking forward to connecting soon!
@Joe Patterson stoked to have you bro! My name is Rick I’m located up in Orange County, I surf as well (I try my best lol), love fitness and would love to learn some stuff from you in all of those things you mentioned. We have lots of stuff planned in the future and would love to have you as a part of it. Hope you have a great weekend and look forward to meeting you man!
