Hello, from the Deep South
« on: August 11, 2019, 10:19:07 AM »
JohnnyMac directed me here recently, so here I am. Glad to be here. Some brief background:

Grew up in the Deep South, graduated from nursing school and worked as a nurse for a couple of years. Then left that field and went into the Army intelligence field. Went to Korea, Germany, Afghanistan, Fort Hood, etc. Spent some time with LRS (2-38 Cav and 2nd Cav) while they were working with 7th Group. Did some time in the Reserves after that with MPs. Got out, went back into nursing. I work in an emergency room, previously worked on a trauma floor at a Level II trauma center. Bought a house on some rural land that I’m trying to turn into a homestead.

Wife is a nurse, but currently a stay-at-home mom to our kids. My blog is www.FreeAmericanNational.blogspot.com and I write for American Partisan as well. Will soon be ramping up my contributions to both, as my increasingly hectic life is looking like it may slow down back to normal in the next several weeks. It’s about time.

Christian, family man, American, veteran. Nice to meet y’all.

Hey TGM, you made it over to the other side.

We have another medic on-board. His handle is, mechmechanic. I think he is over in the sandbox at the moment however, he will pop in shortly. When he can he writes a Monday medic question for us all to solve.

Based on your background...Army, nurse, blogger, et cetera, you must have some interesting things to share.

Please feel free to jump in there to help anyone with a question or to ask a question of your own.

Again, welcome!  :cheers:

Welcome AP brother! You are joining a very, um, unique and interesting group  >:D >:D >:D
Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone. If the next few nights go smoothly at work I may have some time to browse the boards and get up to some writing. And surely I would enjoy imparting some knowledge on others, I’m 9/10’s in this to learn and get better. I’ve got some experience with some things and certainly have my fair share of strong opinions, but I’m not unique in that. I’m a starter compared to some of y’all who’ve really been in these trenches for a long time. I’m excited for what the people in our community can teach me. I’m doing ok, but I have to get better.

Over the last several months I’ve found my efforts at connecting with like-minded people to finally be bearing a little fruit. Our side, whatever we are called, are far flung individualists, to our credit and our detriment. I’ve found it nigh on impossible to gather a group here locally, even among family and friends, of people who not only share the same mindset, but also see the writing on the wall to what’s coming and agree on what to do about it, and are willing to train up for it. Every one of those variables eliminates more and more people, and locally, I’m down to nearly zero. The connections we make across distances are going to be invaluable. I’m glad to be finally making new ones, like JohnnyMac for example, and strengthening one I previously had, like NCScout for example.

Somewhere it was said we can hang together, or be hanged separately. The first one sounds more fun. So let’s get to it.

Greetings and Salutations Good Sir, Hail and Well Met.

Glad to have another Southern Gent around.  If I may be so bold, what part of down here are you?

Me, Central part of the Old Dominion.

Welcome to the group! I’m glad we’re building our knowledge base with new members. I hope to learn a lot from you. Clinical work is my weakest subject.
