Truthfully, I am here because, I had a second back surgery in October of 2017 (less than 3 years from the first one) and decided maybe I should stop crawling around the inside of airplanes with heavy parts in awkward positions. After a ton of researching what I might want to do with the rest of my life realized I should get into IT of some form. I'm not what I would call tremendously creative so programing games got thrown out, along with the fact until recently the last thing I programmed was in "Basic". There may have been a school owned Trash 80 in there somewhere, and an Arche Triumph 8088 involved with that first PC. Anyway I like to help people and it seems I like to educate others (even though that is something I never thought I'd want to do) I ended up picking cybersecurity. So at this time I am about 14 weeks from my AAS in IT with a minor in cybersecurity, then after that I am going straight into a Bachelors degree in cybersecurity.
This last quarter since I could take the "Security Capstone" or do an internship to finish my AAS, I remembered reading about the cyber warfare range (which was part of my decision) and had a thought that I ran by the Department head at the school about volunteering at the range for my internship. He thought it would qualify and after talking to @JerryKeely I knew that time at the range would be immensely better than an internship at a company trying to not "mess" anything up.
This is where we are now, I was going to start volunteering a bit before the new quarter started but it seems the "Boss Lady" had some different plans for my time between quarters.
I will be at the get together, hopefully a bit early and be able to stay through the presentations.
In short I'm here to learn and pass on what I can.
