@tooold4thiz You were the first one to like this post, and I thought you'd prob be the only one since I just shared this with my few Pack fans here. You must have some magic because it took off after that and I have no idea why lmao

@MathsladyScott I'm going for a degree in Intelligence, with a focus on Geospatial intel. If i'm not mistaken you are in the UK, I wish you were closer because I have some good connections in the video/photography field!

@MelHomeschools I appreciate it! Congrats! I'm going for my bachelors as well. Received almost 60 transfer credits from work experience so I should graduate at 43 as well!

@JerheeW That is awesome! I went to use my GI Bill but apparently it "expired". Thankfully I found the VR&E program through the VA so they are still helping me out!

[Michael Bates @MBates2311]

@JohnDonaldu5t That's good to know! I had another Marine vet friend of mine say the same thing. Good thing is I'm attending the American Military Univ. Seems like they are good with vets and hoping instructors are the same like minded people like us!

[Michael Bates @MBates2311]

Covid era throwback. Man, was I dealing with a lot during that time. Self taught and no idea how to sing, but this cheap guitar got me through it. A reminder to myself to pick it back up!
