Hello
How is everybody, I was cruising through the internet and ran into this forum and it looked like a good place to talk about some serious stuff.

I have been in the Navy for 8 yrs now and spent 4 of those years in Italy. Did some time in Kosovo, but I have yet to be on a ship (that's about to change!) My specialty is radio and television communications, but I dabble in phones and networking every once in awhile.

I got married in Italy to a beautiful Italian woman and we now have a gorgeous 4 month old daughter.

I am currently finishing my AS in Electronics Engineering Technology, I love Electronics and if I had more time up here in RI I would finish my BS, but the Navy Calls and I must answer.

I am looking forward to some good discussions, and I'll see you around!!

Welcome to the board. I too live in the mini state. I have lived in Newport, near the Middletown line, and I loved it there. It is beautiful.
Congrats on the Baby, new wife, and your upcoming graduation!
See you 'round the board.

Welcome aboard!

There are a couple of men on here who are also in the Navy. My cousin "prescott911" just moved to Massachusetts from Italy. He lived there for about 10 years. He should be back on the forums sometime soon.

See ya on the debate floor!

One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
