Feels familiar, yet new - projectvxn - 06-19-2020
I'm glad to have been invited to this community. ATS is falling apart and I feel like a refugee.
I spent a lot of time thinking about the course they will be taking. I give them a month, maybe two at most, and all the work I put on that site will disappear forever. I don't wanna make this entirely about ATS. I just think it's important to discuss where I'm coming from and how I wound up here. Though I have a sneaking suspicion that the reasons and circumstances that brought me here are similar to many others who already made the exodus.
I fully intend to contribute as much here as I did there only more so. I need a place that will really allow creative content.
For those of you who don't know who I am:
I am a combat veteran, OEF 13-14
I am a husband for the last 15 years and a father for the last 7.
I am a martial artist with a decent background and a beginner's mindset. Currently focused on Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
I am a leader. I believe in leadership through accountability, compassion, and empathy.
I am a follower. I believe in following leaders who lead with accountability, compassion, and empathy.
I am on The Path. The Path of personal growth, discipline, and responsibility.
I am a conservative man. This does not make me inaccessible, rigid, or unchanging. But it does make me cautious in accepting ideas without first placing them through proper filters.
I am always striving to be better today than I was yesterday and unapologetically seek to be better.
I am seeking more responsibility not less.
I am not religious. Nor do I have a right to say that I believe in God. Belief requires truth and action. If I believe in God it isn't enough to say that I do, but I must act as though I do by emulating what God is. I am human and will never achieve this. So therefore I acknowledge God as the creator of the universe and I acknowledge God's authority over it. But I cannot say that I believe in God in accordance with my convictions.
Sometimes I fail to live up to my own standards. In those moments I require the calibration of others who are sticking with their standards. We all need to be checked.
I do NOT always subordinate my ego. You'll know when that happens. Everyone does.
Generally, I'm just another human on God's Earth. I am entitled to nothing but my responsibilities.
I'm projectvxn. People not on the internet know me as Bryan. Nice to meet you.

Welcome to RN.
I'm excited to welcome all the people I saw in the shoutbox to RN. It makes conversations much more interesting to have more than a couple ideas (people) to debate.
We are a family here, agree or disagree, so I hope you like it and make it your new home.
Now, I must hurry over and save my threads from ATS before they disappear into cyber space!

Good to see you here again too. Tell Mrs. Kdog to not be a stranger. Mrs. G and myself are the only active females on the board. It gets lonely.

6 decades I've been around.
And while I may have been quite the Lothario in my youth, I've been snipped and put out to pasture.

RE: Feels familiar, yet new - Ninurta - 06-20-2020
Hello to all of you, and welcome! You're not "refugees" here - you've just come home is all. You're among family.
I recall all of you from "over there", where I was nenothtu in a former incarnation. I've not used that handle since ATS, and it seems "nenothtu" is scheduled to soon die. that's the nature of life. Shit happens. It seems that "Regent in perpetuity" does have time limits after all! @"Beez", you're the one that came up with that idea... and some of the rest of you helped rope me into the gig - but it's ok, I don't hold grudges.
Here, you're in a different world. You're among family, and perhaps more importantly, friends. Sure, we're gonna fight some times, but all family and most friends do occasionally - it don't mean a thing. We're all adult enough to buy each other a beer while we're patching one another back up.
@"Projectvxn" - eagle has landed, and here we are! Let's make the most of it, and above all enjoy!
I'd say more, but I need to go spend a couple hours earning my daily bread so I can buy more guns n stuff, so I'll catch you all again in a few!
