Long time listener first time poster.

Hello ATS community. I came here out of a need to be a part of this side of the fence. Feeling at times that I have a story to tell and at other times feeling my story is nothing but a scientifically explainable experience. I'll share it when I find the right thread for it.
I consider myself a sane person who perhaps has a tendency to believe in the unbelievable. I am in the military and have been to Iraq twice in combat roles. I am not particularly religious but I can see why some people are. I work a regular nine to five job on a military base but it is not any special kind of base, boring really. I am probably as typical of an American citizen as you will find.
I look forward to contributing to this community and to the friendships that might be made.

Hi and welcome to ATS. You picked the right place to join and I'm glad to hear you consider yourself a sane person. I think the very same thing too!

Anyway, good to hear you are now on 9 to 5's in a hopefully more peaceful role than before.

See you out there.

Hello and welcome! The way you described yourself is probably how 90% of the community here would explain themselves including me so your in good company my friend!

Welcome to ATS!

Thanks guys/gals for the warm welcome.

Im new as well but welcome! and yeah got to love those 9-5's

Sorry no KFC this time but I'll put it on my list of "things to buy for my online friends" list.
