Average American citizen without any military service. Minor assistance with LE in the past in helping drug enforcement. Just as a concerned citizen that happened to be in a position to help.
I have joined to be able to ask questions for purposes of expanding my own knowledge and curiosity, as well as to input on non-military topics where I have knowledge on.
I do manufacturing of all kinds (metal, plastics, woods, chemicals). Hobbies involving cracking ("hacking") and "social engineering", but not anywhere good at it. I just like learning about it given the increased threats we face in the digital age. I enjoy the talks and competitions at DEF CON when I can make it to Vegas. I also participate in activities like running and exploring abandoned urban territory, playing airsoft, and target shooting. I like volunteering in my home town whenever possible, which I believe is a healthier outlet than only complaining that things are going down the drain. (Although things are going down here in CA as you might imagine) If guys are risking their lives overseas to defend the country, then the least us civilians can do is to make sure the country doesn't collapse inward while they are gone.
I despise socialism/communism/globalism and any other kind of new age societal ideology. A large chunk of my family was executed by communists in Asia. While I didn't know them personally, the surviving members of my family did, and have clearly outlined the horror that happened and what they saw before escaping. Thank you to all who served, doing what needs to be done to preserve our way of life from those who threaten it, foreign or domestic. Keep up the good work.
Also to the moderator(s), people may not be finding the intro thread because the thread organization often sets to "last 10 days" rather than "beginning of time". They can see the sticky, but not the actual intro thread. If it can be set to "beginning of time" by default, that might reduce instance of people starting new threads.
