[El Scootch-O]

I'm Paul. I'm just an angsty little 17 year old High School squirt who has his distant goals set pretty high in the Army. As soon as I came upon this site I was completely overwhelmed. The knowledge, patience, intelligence, the camaraderie, the great mentors, the incredible people and the INFINITE wealth of knowledge that resides in this domain. It kept me hooked for weeks and I'm honored to be able to finally register.

At one point in time I wanted to work for Rockstar Games or Bethesda Softworks. I wanted to help make AAA video games that everyone wanted to drop 60 bucks on. I perused and am currently halfway through a 2-year degree in Graphic design. Afterwards I was to transfer and get a bachelor's in computer sciences.

But one day I realized, I could make these video games... these senseless wastes of time, for the rest of my life. Or I could travel the world and be a part of history. I was in contact with a recruiter the same day.

I'm a severe gun nut and have spent much time on the internet on world.guns, fueling my obsession. Also in the past weeks I've developed a hefty interest with what you Quiet Professionals do, and what you do to get there.

I've got pretty much nil to contribute here for many years to come and will leave all discussion to the guys who deserve it. Until then - the Quiet Professionals, the moderators, god (and The Reaper) willing - I want to absorb as much information as humanly possible. I want nothing more than to be a part of this amazing family and hopefully become a Quiet Professional myself.
