New BB Forum Member from Florida here.

Hello Baptist Board Forum members. My name is Matt. I'm originally from Vermont, the land of snow, mountains, maple syrup, ice cream, and skiing. My family and I lived there for quite a while, before moving to Virginia around 2003. There I went to college part-time for business while working full-time. A couple of years later I decided to join the Navy in 2007, because I wanted to work in Information Technology and travel the world. Almost 10 years later I got out of the military to go back to school and get my AS in Cyber security. I should be finishing up school soon with only a couple of semesters left, and also working on getting my Security + Certification.

In my spare time I enjoy exercising, going to the beach, keeping up with the latest computer technology, and going to the gun range. If you have any questions about me or anything else just let me know, I would love to answer them. Looking forward to meeting the Baptist Board Forum Community!

 

The Northwest region/ Pensacola Area part of Florida.

 

Yeah. Pensacola has some diversity, but quite a few rednecks as well.

 

After boot camp at Great Lakes in 2007, the Navy sent me to Corry Air Station where I completed IT "A" school. Years later I get out of the service and end up living in the Pensacola Area again. Full circle.

 

Hi Brother Glen. California, what part? My last ship was the USS America LHA-6 in San Diego. I really loved that city, the people, the activities, and the weather. Unfortunately, the cost of living is really high and I don't agree with some of the ways that state is being run. In spite of that though, I enjoyed being stationed in SD. You want to see my papers? lol, I'm sure my DD-214 is around here somewhere. Nice to meet you.

 

Yeah, SD is a military city, you can just tell when you're there. The way the city is laid out as far as roads are concerned, they were built with common sense in mind. There are so many options with Routes 5, 805, 15, 8, 94, 125, 54, 163 to name a few. The only time I battled with traffic was to get on base so I could get to Pier 13 where my ship was. So yeah SD was really great. Didn't care too much for San Francisco though. My ship the USS America got commissioned there in the summer of 2014, just didn't like some of the things I saw over there at the time. I was very thrilled when we all rolled back into SD. Yeah, I remember Riverside. I almost went to California Baptist University over there, but decided to move to Florida instead.

 

Alright, you all got me. Correction, y'all got me. I'm a southerner now, I keep forgetting. Anyway, so I'm not from Earth as I've claimed. I'm from a far away planet, I don't know if you've heard of it, called Krypton. I grew up there and one of my best friend's was a kid called um... I think it was Kal-El? Yeah, that was his name. You know, him and I were both in the Science Council together while in grade school. Oh the memories! Come to think of it, I haven't seen him in years. I hope he's doing alright wherever he is. Sorry I kept this a secret, I should have told you all sooner. I mean y'all sooner.

 

Thank you sir.
