Hello from Iraq

Hello people...new guy here in the forum.

I've surfed around here from time to time. This site always intrigued me. And i'm always up for a good discussion whether i agree with the subject matter or not. Everyone has their own ideas and beliefs. I always try to keep an open mind. So i decided, what the heck, JOIN!

A little about me...
I'm currently working in Iraq for the past 2 yrs, and most likely will sign on for a 3rd year. I'm retired military (22 yrs). Born and raised in Wash. state, now call So.California home (when i'm there).

I do not believe in a supreme being, higher power, etc. But i don't condem those that do. That's just my belief.

Being from the Pacific N.W., i do believe in Big Foot or Saquatch, and others too, like the Loch Ness monster for example. I've had too many mysterious happenings during mountain camping trips to believe otherwise.

I'm a believer in ghosts or spirits. Again, from personal experience.

I do believe in aliens. Why can't a race be more advanced than us? I'm not real big on the "secret groups", NWO type of stuff.

My military experience was in the Cryptology/Intelligence field and i was actually posted to the NSA for 3+ years. So anything that organization does, doesn't surprise me in the least. As a result i'm big into reading all about Black projects and clandestine ops as well.

I look forward to some very interesting discussions and topics.

Welcome to ATS!

Have a good time here

Hi socalif

Hope you enjoy the fun of the fair

Sorry to ask this, but it came to mind as soon as I saw your credentials.

You've been posted to the NSA, but you come here to talk? I know people inside the NSA, & somehow I can't see any of them actually being here, at all, except as a possible spy.

I am not accusing, & I am not telling anyone else to think the way I do in here. I just know what I know, about what I'm not supposed to know, & who I'm not supposed to know it about.

If you're a great guy, I welcome you. I'll welcome you either way. I know people in the NSA, CIA, DEA, FBI, & any other Agency you could think of, that I won't go into. I welcome all, wishing them peace & happiness.

You don't believe in a High Being? How odd. I am Agnostic, at least I've got Myself covered one way or the other, lol.

If he were a spy I doubt he would be attracting attention right off the bat by disclosing his NSA history. Actually, I know an ex-NSA staff and he would fit in quite well here.

Welcom BG.
I also look forward to your posts.

Looks like you are going to fit right in with the ATS crowd, bg_socalif.

Glad you could make it, come on in and sit a spell…

I've traveled around quite a bit myself, mostly Asia, Middle East, couple places in Africa, Central and South America. I've yet to make it to Europe. I used to live in SD, now i'm up in the Temecula area, when i am home. As far as my job goes, I provide communications support to the Army.

Nice to meet you!
