First off let me say thanks to ATS for providing the site. It is a great opportunity to "sound board" ideas off one another.

I have been on the site about a week now and figured it was time to say hi. I live in Corpus Christi, TX. Lived in NE Oklahoma (as you will see in some of my post) until my dad passed away when I was a teen and I moved down here. Been here sense except for a brief period of time back in Oklahoma helping my sister and 5 years in the Army. I am interested in almost anything that is outside the ordinary at this point. My main focus is in paranormal (specifically hauntings or the like) and unknown animals (bigfoot primarily). The only things I do not get into are politics and military. Being a Vet I don't find a reason I belong there. I did not question my orders when I was active, why start now? That being said I appreciate that ATS offers a environment that we can all have our own views and I chose to withhold mine on those topics. As far as who I am personality wise I feel I am a skeptical believer. Let me elaborate. I believe that anything is possible and is worth looking into. However I approach everything with "prove it" on my mind. I do this because even if I am convinced I have to be able to back it up with proof. My only dislike in this regards is those who would be considered
"close minded". I hope I will become a valuable contributer among the forums and hopefully with everyone working together we can contribute to the answer.

Look forward to seeing everyone on the boards...

Hello to you and welcome!

Hope you enjoy the ride because this site is addictive and you find yourself following all kinds of paths, even the ones you would never think would interest you.

Once again, welcome

Hello and welcome,

I am also a newby here and a Vet. This site will definitely feed your mind and you will learn many new things searching for answers. Lets just say being a member here has brought a new meaning to the phrase "Dare to be Different." look forward to seeing you on the boards.

Spent a little over a week in Corpus this summer. Had a BLAST!

Spent almost an entire day on the Lexington. That was awesome.

Waited until night before leaving to actually go swimming and could have kicked myself for not doing it everyday. We were on the Bay side. It was great.

Add a little dancing on the beach at night by full moon & crazy sand castle we built.

I could live there easily.

Guru97,

I Thank you for your reply and for being a Vet as well. Sometimes those words can make all the difference. As for the site it is a great place to explore all alternative explanations to the answers we are seeking. See you on the boards.

Welcome!

My girlfriend is from Corpus Christi, and her family still lives there. I may find myself visiting there sometime soon.

Edit: Whoops, double post, sorry

Cant....Name,

Corpus is a good place to visit when you can. Sometime it is even better to leave it. LOL


W.i.t.S,

Thanks for the welcome. H-town is not far at all. I have a lot of friends I went to school with that live there now. Fact is most of them say they will never move back here after living there.

Thanks for the reply, see you on the boards
