It has been a pleasure to serve you all for the past 13 years as your webmaster for the Unofficial Vandenberg Space Force Base Rod and Gun Club website. Early March, I will leave California and head east to find a new homestead with whitetail hunting in my backyard. Therefore, I hope someone steps up to the plate and reigns as the new webmaster for this website to continue. As of March 1, 2022, I will not contribute any more information. If no one steps up to continue this website, it will cease when the domain term expires.
