Hello, and good evening to all of the guys/gals here on GJ. I've been browsing the forums for a few weeks, heard about this site from a friend. All I can say is WOW, what an excellent resource this place is! :willy_nil

A little about myself: I'm a 23 year old college student living in Clearwater, FL. My backround experiences consist mostly of automotive & light electrical work. Through the years I've had to pick up wrenches and fix things myself when our family didn't have money for auto repairs & the like. In a sense, its been a "trial by fire", and I've learned to love it. That feeling you get when you turn that key, press a button, flip the switch, and your creation comes to life... there is no other.

I came here thinking that I'd be jumping right in the convos, sharing some of my knowledge with you guys and helping people in need. However, I quickly learned that my best bet would be to sit and listen, for my knowledge pales in comparion to most of you. Some of you here are on a level I will have to work many years to reach.

What I may lack in knowledge and experience, I fill that space with an eagerness to learn and understand the teachings that you good men bring to this site. I've been a lurker for a few months now, and I'm happy to say that I've learned as much about building and fixing things as I have about life in general. Many of you are wise beyond your years...and believe me, I'm going to pick your brains to uncover as many life secrets as I can.
:bow:

Sorry for the lack of brevity!

Cheers,
DB

True story... as a young enlisted guy in a F-4 squadron on my first deployment at sea, I thought it reasonably important that I put names with faces of my squadron-mates.... particularly the khaki-wearing chiefs and officers, who all had the potential to add grief to my life.
After a few weeks, I thought I was doing good at keeping it all sorted in my head, and I could address the zeros correctly. Except Ltjg Fng; he didn't seem to look Asian, but I went with it. What really got me baffled was about 2 months into the cruise, another junior aviator shows up around squadron spaces, and his name-tag says "Fng" ALSO!
That made ask the stupid question that I didn't have the courage to ask before!

Anyhow, welcome to GJ. So much great info to absorb here.
