User:Nurbout12

User:Nurbout12 I started this user account probably 5 years ago...and didn't do anything with it. So, my plan at this point is to: 1) learn how to build a page properly 2) flesh out a user page, which means describing a bit amount myself, my background/interests, and what I can bring to Wikipedia 3) Begin to create or edit pages, and be a general help within the various article spaces on Wikipedia, and lastly 4) Try to be an active participant on at least a weekly, hopefully daily, basis

Areas of Interest
I've begun to post/edit in aviation pages. As I get more adept at editing and working within the pages, I will consider adding content in the following areas: aviation, history, sports, politics, as well as science/climate change. My focus will be to ensure the data/information in pages is correct, accurate, unbiased and properly referenced, as I've read too many articles in the news and online questioning quality, sourcing and bias. I think Wikipedia needs to ensure that all articles are written from a down-the-middle, info-only approach. The entire reason for existence of Wikipedia, or any encyclopedic source, is information...unvarnished, truthful, unbiased information. Inform the user, give them the unbiased facts, then let them decide how to process and use the information.

Education and Professional Experience
I am retired from the United States Air Force. I graduated from Excelsior College with a bachelor's degree in liberal studies, with concentrations in Chinese and History. I also have an associate's degree in communications from the Community College of the Air Force. After the military, I taught middle school science for four years. I've since moved into an area of interest/love for me, which is aviation. I am currently an active pilot, with both my private pilot's license, as well as my instrument rating. Aviation as always been an interest of mine, so I'm currently pursuing my commercial pilot's license with an ultimate goal of getting my ATP.
