Hey!

I work as an Ammo Troop in the USAF active duty. I used to be a hardcore christian when I was young.
Now honestly... I can't stand religion as a whole. I "converted" to atheism about 5 years ago and it
was the best thing I have ever done. My family still thinks I'm just "not sure" haha. They are cool about
it for the most part. It's a bit... interesting coming from Tennessee as a non-believer.

I guess that is about it! Can't wait to be a part of the community!
Stocked about my the end of my enlistment too. heh kind of off
topic I know.

Thanks!

Can one convert to Atheism? I thought it was just a loss of belief not a transference. :P

Oh well, welcome anyway~

Have a lot of respect for EOD. We work with them a lot. Glad to hear he will at least come out with something for his service. These days you never know when they might just boot you.

@ Sal heh yeah. 1.5 years left of my 6 year contract >_<
Don't get me wrong I have huge respect for people who can
deal with all the BS and politics... I just can't though. It
won't be over soon enough for me.

Just realized AF was the forum name not Air Force...
Me is the dumb. :)

We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."
