A little about myself, I grew up in rural Alaska served 6 years in the Air Force as a maintenance technician and now live in Oklahoma.
I'm sure glad I found a place dedicated to survival.
My name is Jon and I've only recently started looking online for places like this.

Bonjour ! I'm Jeanette Isabelle, named after the traditional French Christmas carol "Un Flambeau, Jeanette, Isabelle." Dad's side of the family, from which I get my French heritage, is from Norman Oklahoma. I stumbled upon this place while doing research on one of my interests, aviation.

Welcome to one of the finest forums on the web.
If you haven't yet done so, I'd encourage you to take a moment to read "The Survival Forum Rules and Courtesies" via the link up at the top of this page, and then I look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences. No question is too simple or silly around this campfire.
Oh, and it looks like you're serving at an Air Force base ... if you're in the military, well, my most sincere thank you for your service simply doesn't seem like enough.
Ken K.

Thank you for the warm welcome Jeanette and Izzy.
When I noticed Mr. Ritter being the admin here and several great posts I was drawn in.
Dangint, looks like I posted on top of you, thank you as well, I just served my six, went round the world at the mercy of the AWACS, great times.
I'll be sure to read the stickies.

Mike is kd7fqd your handle?
Never mind, looks like it is, Ham technician.
I've been interested, several of my friends got licensed when I was younger.
My dad has had his call sign forever, after college is done with I think HAM might be a new hobby, after knives, sharpening and playing with fire. (home made alcohol and wood stoves)
I've actually got a topic that I haven't seen posted here or my other haunts, except in passing (that last bit is a pun)
