The coolest person you will ever meet

Not really..

but I liked the sound of the title.

I'm Kimberly, 20 years old, and new to this website. I am not a Christian, I'm Agnostic.. but I am
not here to cause trouble or anything.
I'm here just to learn, meet new people, and just see all viewpoints of religion.. or spirituality.. or whatever you want to call it.

I'm way open minded and I'm just here to see what this is all about. I'm in the army, deployed to Afghanistan and I leave in a few weeks.. Hopefully this website can make time pass by a little faster

I have a friend who is in Iraq right now as well as some cousins who have been overseas as well as stationed back home.

I'm sure you'll find that we do grumble and hold differing viewpoints on a lot of things, we're still a family.

What do you do in the Army?

From what I have seen, there are all different kinds of people here and it keeps it really interesting..
I like it here

I'm a 15P, aviation operations.. I was/ am a door gunner on a Chinook.. not so much anymore, just when they need me but it's been awhile. I wanted to do it but there were no slots available, then a guy stayed back on rear-d for awhile and I got the opportunity.
Now, I do it whenever since it's not my first job, and I am needed to work in Flight Operations.

I love it, it's been a very long deployment... but a great experience

Hey Kimberly...welcome aboard. Thanx for the service to our country. That's amazing! Do you play guitar?

kimberlyb0112 · 10-29-2009, 03:03 PM

Thanks for the support.. I am in the process of learning. I started out here, bought a guitar online and they shipped it out here. I still need alot of practice though. This guy holds classes to teach guitar which is pretty cool.
What about you?

Hi Kimberly! You are very welcome here. Looks like you've already settled in!

kimberlyb0112 · 10-30-2009, 12:28 PM

Yeah.. it's great to talk to people that have nothing to do with the military lol

I think I'm just pretty much burned out from this deployment. It seems like a great
environment here though

Y'all are very welcoming

Yup...I've played since I was 14 (about 15 years now). What kind of guitar did you end up with?

Welcome to CGR Kimberly! Sounds like Army does keep you busy too! I've got multiple family members in the army so it's pretty cool to see more. Hopefully you can make it back from Afghanistan alright! Good to see you get to go home in a little bit

kimberlyb0112 · 10-30-2009, 03:23 PM

I bought an Ibanez.. it came in a starter kit with an electric tuner, strings, a case, and picks

Yeah, I am so ready to get back to the states! I am PCSing to Germany in March, I can't wait

**Cam42** · 10-30-2009, 05:32 PM

Ibanez guitars are pretty good, from the two or three that I've played.

Welcome to the boards Kimberly!

Kimberly,

AIR ASSAULT!!! I retired from Fort Cambell in 2003. I was with the 716th MP Bn. Stay safe over there. Like you I'm just learning to play. Good luck .

kimberlyb0112 · 11-03-2009, 04:41 PM

Oh okay.. that's awesome. Did you get the chance to go to air assault school?? I'm with the 7-17 CAV right now... I am looking forward to Germany, but then again.. I love Fort Campbell! Especially the Nashville area...

**Gustin** · 11-03-2009, 06:06 PM

That's cause Nashville is the best.

Welcome to the boards Kimberly.

Thanks for your service.

As a resident of Seattle but frequent traveler to Nashville, I will say that Seattle is much better.

But Nashville's okay, I guess.
