It's great to see that there is still an association for military Rodeo. I rode bull for the MRCA back in the mid-late 90's but can't find that particular association anymore. I'm sure they just changed the name...is this it or are ya'll a completely different organization?

I just received a copy of the Rodeo News and was excited to see four pages dedicated to PAFRA.  I want to thank Siri Stevens for the professional publication and the support she has shown to our military.  2008 is already starting out to be a bang-up year!  Keep our deployed Troops in your prayers.

It is great to see more new members getting on board. The one way we will grow is to get the word out about PAFRA however we can, not too many people know about us, for example when I went to have the radio interview with Red Steagall for the radio program the Cowboy Corner, the only military rodeo association Red knew of was the European Rodeo Cowboys Assciation (E.R.C.A)when he was on a concert tour there in the 1970's, but was unaware of any such association that existed stateside and before the interview I asked Red if he had heard of the Leatherneck Rodeo and he said,"No",so I knew that if he did not know of the very first military rodeo that was started in 1947 at Camp Pendlenton MCB California that we have our work cut out for us to get the word out. Red has been involved in the country music industry for almost 50 years and has hosted the National Finals Rodeo for 4 years and hoted the Winston Pro Rodeo Tour for the 1985 season and co-hosted the College National Finals Rodeo for 4 years. After the interview was over, Red told me, "I did not know what questions to ask you because this is so new." So if the military rodeo concept is new to Red then we need to keep up our efforts to get the word out by what ever means we have available to us and we will grow. I hope the radio interview will be the spark we need to get off to a good start toward that goal, get more members, fill the stands at the finals, and gain more sponsors. Let more folks know about the upcoming interview by going to the PAFRA home page and follow the intructions, there you will find some information and links to websites,if you look at Red's website you will find has released a new CD and he is having duets with Toby Keith, Reba McEntire, Ray Benson, Larry Gatlin, Neal McCoy, Charlie Pride, and Charlie Dainel.

I wanted to just say that PAFRA is looking good. I miss seeing all of you at the finals. As a bullfighter though it is hard to make that trip with no pay in sight. If anyone knows of someone looking for a bullfighter let me know.  Take care PAFRA and see you down the road.
