Hello! My name is Timothy Packer and I'm currently an IT student in my first year of studies working towards a  assosiciates network administration degree. I plan on transferring to East Carolina University after that for a higher level IT degree. I spent 4 years in the Army as a medic and decided health care just wasn't for me. I would like to develop the skills that would allow me to work for the goverment so I can use my 4 years in the military towards my reitrement. NOS120 will be my first red hat course so I'm excited to see where things will go from here.

Hello!  I am Leslie Shaw, a student at Fayetteville Technical Community College (FTCC) in North Carolina.  I am currently a school counselor in the midst of changing career fields, so it has definitely been a whirlwind!  I am in my second year of courses in the Systems Security and Analysis program, and it feels like each class is a new beginning (in a good way!).  I want to be able to work on a team that oversees networks and resolves issues within them.  Ironically we had issues with Internet connectivity for students and staff on the first day of school, so these are the types of issues that I would want to fix.  I believe there is so much possibility within IT that nearly all of it piques my interest.  I am a lifelong learner and I hope to gain a lot in this community.

Hello, I am Joshua Cheek.  I am in Systems Security at Fayetteville Technical Community College.  I hope to use the experience I gain here with linux in the eventual working world to make myself desirable and effective at jobs in the field.  I am fairly new to linux overall, but also hope through experience with it I can learn even more about computers than I already know!
