Old, but New

I'm 36, so I got a late start at the Graphic's stuff. I have been meaning to download PhotoShop for a few years now, but never got around to doing it, untill a couple months ago.

I'm currently in Iraq as a civilian supporting the troops and normally I get quite a bit of free time. So, I have been playing around with PhotoShop. I will post some of what I have done in the Showcase to see what everyone thinks.

Thanks,
GatorHunter

P.S. Nice site by the way, looks very clean and organized.

Thanx xD
lol, I'm pretty surprised you actually get some free time in Iraq with all the chaos...
Anyways, welcome to void :)

I am a SME (Subject Matter Expert) on military equipment. If it's broke and the soldiers don't know how to fix it, I'm supose to know. Sometimes thats not the case, lol

We are treated fine, I'm on a militarty installation and I'm not able to go outside the gate due to security reasons, but we do have some Iraqi's that work here on post and I have become pretty good friends with some of them. I was over here when I was in the Army back in 2003. Back then the ROE (Rules of Engagement) was alot differant. It was pretty much, if they got a weapon, shot them. Today its alot differant. I was in the Army for 10 years, then got out in 2004 and came back as a civilan and been here for the last 3 years.

My views on the war, hmmmm. I don't agree with why Bush sent the troops here, and I probably will never undrstand, or any of us for that matter becuase we don't have access to that kind of information. The media can say what they want, they don't know what information that Bush had when he decided to sent troops here. Since we can't undo the invasion we have to deal with what is at hand today. You can take the soldier out of the army, but you can't take the army out of the soldier. I am very patriotic and will die for my country if need be. I will always be a soldier at heart, so when I got out of the Army (which i did not want to, had to for medical reasons) I decided I could still serve my country by supporting the troops. I came back over here 4 month after getting out and doing what I can to help the soldiers complete there mission.

Glad to have you with us! This is by far the best introduction I've seen.

Welcome to the void enjoy your stay and tryout our tut's look forward to see some of your work :)
