Hello fellow humans, I am also a human.

Hello!

My name is Logan. I'm known online as Grim or Grim Games. I've been gaming since I was old enough to use a joystick, and I've loved gaming passionately since then. I have a YouTube channel which I have been working on for about 4 years now. www.youtube.com/grimlp

I just turned 30 on the 9th. I work a dead end, yet satisfying job as a contractor for the U.S. Army. I work in the aviation training field, though my job does not directly involve helicopters or training pilots/crew. I work a desk job mainly, providing logistical support to the actual trainers. I collect data reported to me by the trainers, organize it, analyze it, and turn it into training materials to be used by the Army.

I was married for about, oh, 7 years. My wife and I separated late last year, all amicably, and I have been adjusting to the single life for the last few months. It has been...a big change.

Other interests include movies (I love movies), guns, computers/tech, and porn. I've also dabbled quite a bit in editing/visual effects.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone, and learning about you all. Feel free to ask me whatever questions you may have. :)
 
I am a meat Popsicle, still its great to have you along with us.
Also looking forward to seeing more of you online.

I divorced just over a year ago too, it was nice to be single again but like all things there was a lot of getting used to and many things I missed.
Funny enough I also worked in aviation for the DOD, although I was in the Marines. I was part of the electronics and aircrew school stationed in Hawaii.
Damn nice gig! Too bad its many years over.

Yeah, I would definitely classify my job as a nice gig, but unfortunately it's almost too nice! I make good money doing not a lot of work, but the job is rather specialized. I haven't continued my schooling, or been very driven to improve my skills that might find me a job if this one goes away. I got my A.S. in Computer Science, but haven't gone beyond that unfortunately.

And thank you for your service!
 
Great thing about my post military jobs was I had no choice but to learn and learn again.
Teaching forces you to keep up, or at least innovate how you present information.

The only tip I have is to turn laziness into innovation. Try to find new ways to do your job faster so you can spend more time reading these forums. </wink>
That should require some kind of study, or at least tinkering to improve tools and techniques.

Appreciate the thought, but no need to thank me. I knew exactly what I was getting into and got lucky enough to see none of it. Best thing I ever did was to volunteer.
My brother, he could use some thanks. Very bad luck about rotations and his MOS.
Then again, he probably doesn't want to hear anything about it anymore.

It could be my own opinion, but I think a better way to approach it is to ask "how was it?"
Then say "Thanks" or "That's too bad, but thanks anyway." based on their (hopefully quick) response.
Gives a lot more feeling to the recipient.

Regardless, appreciate your gratitude. Silly teacher in me is always looking to improve.

I understand what you mean. I work shoulder to shoulder with men and women in the armed forces every day. I think I don't say more simply because I don't like to pry. A lot of people are very private about it, and don't want to be put on the spot. Asking them to talk about their service might bring up some unwanted memories. I know a lot of service members see the "Thank you for your service" as an empty gesture, but having seen what you and they both go through (whether deployed or not), I'm being very genuine when I say it.

I'm sorry to hear your brother had some bad luck in regards to his MOS. What happened?
 
Oh, I don't think it feels empty. It feels automatic.
Most people say it very genuinely, yet it just feels so automatic. Difficult to find an alternative saying to distinguish those who really feel it.
You are very correct that each and every person has a unique experience and many don't want to re-live it.

He was EOD, but had made a lot of bombs and feels guilty.
I told him to join the wing in avionics - power plants, he signed up for EOD-Ordinance against all advice. Bad move.

Ah, I see. Yeah, that's a rough choice. I wonder what influenced him to continue with EOD if he had bad feelings about it. Avionics would have been a great choice, a lot of jobs for mechanics and maintainers in the civilian world.
 
He thought it sounded more exciting than the other choices. Ideas and reality often don't match.
Plus the recruiter gave a very one sided presentation.

I think even he regretted his decision soon after, but in high school he was extremely hard headed.
Still, he's coming to terms with the good and the bad of his service.
He did listen to my advice about how to exit the Marines and got a 10% service connected for hearing loss, which has helped and helped him.
VA healthcare is amazing these days. (100 times so when compared to the un-affordable care act.)
 
Welcome. I work as an aircraft mechanic for US Airways, soon to be American Airlines. I have been pretty absent from the actual game playing that goes one here for the last year since I am in school for my Airframe and Powerplant ratings along with my full time job. There is always time for forums though.

Glad to have you aboard!
 
Welcome. I am not human. I´m actually a bot made by the CIA to test awful imaginary on people, by posting links.

Lol, are you referring to my video intro (3 seconds long) or my channel trailer?

The video intro is simple enough, but the channel trailer took...forever lol.
 
Yeah! Crack the whip!

Something short and sweet, but still pops.

It doesn't have to be 3 seconds, it can be longer, but if you want to use youtube's automatic intro thingy, it has to be 3 second.
