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!

Corry Air Station. I was in the Air Force but I had to go to a training school at Corry.

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.

Hello Matt, welcome to the BB. I've read there's been quite an exodus from Vermont.
Hello there. Yes, there have been reports of people leaving Vermont to move to other states. My family and I moved away from Vermont in 2002 along with a few other families that we knew. The truth about VT is that people that move to that state live there for 2-3 years then move back to the state they came from. Why? Very few or no jobs at all. If you do get a job it will be minimum wage/low income. The cost of living is very high, not too mention that it's cold much of the year up there. That's why the Vermont population has stayed around 625,000 people every year. It's only getting worse, that's why people are hiking it out of there. No pun intended.

Finally someone who speaks my language... I was born on the outskirts of San Diego, in La Mesa in 1946... I was here before my second marriage for 57 years... Oh yeah, this is my city... I did my boot here, just like my Dad, who was a Marine and before WWII, met my Mother and made his home here and raised his family... So after Vietnam I came home and did the same until 2004, then I remarried, and moved north 120 miles to Riverside... Now I'm in Sacramento... Nice to meet you too... No body messes with San Diego, the military city... We have The Navy, The Marines and a lot of ammo!... Brother Glen:D

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.

You may not realize it - but Krypton is the "Cuba" of the universe. That is if you are from Krypton - all you have to do is set foot on Earth and you are legal.

Kal-El chnged his name to Clark - go better fit in - here is a website click her for the website.
