Just joined FT a few months back, slowly getting acquainted to the board... tons of information. I wish I knew it existed years ago. I've been looking/searching for information that is posted/available in many threads on this website.

As for myself, I'm a retired military guy, working for the government now, so I try to take advantage of either military or government rates if lower than other special rates advertised. I've been around the world at least twice both on official or business and leisure travel. Favorite place was on a classified mission to Kwajelein Island, had the most beautiful, relaxing, soul searching and spiritual time in my life... the stars at night are within an arms reach.

I look forward to learning all the abbreviations and lingo in the threads... I gotta keep looking at the glossary to figure things out.
