Hello, new ATS member

I've seen this site a couple times before and recently got really interested in a few threads so decided to join.
just a quick overview of my interests:
as regards to the forum topics, I'm mainly interested in aircraft projects and development, Aera 51 stuff. I believe Area 51 is just gov't developed stuff, no alien tech though.
I'm an aspiring aerospace engineer going into the Air Force via the ROTC program. I'm also Currently taking lessons for a private pilot license, and am planning to try for the Air Force Test Pilot School later on. I also am an avid simmer, I use the X-Plane flight simulator pretty much daily.
