Ive been here almost a month and forgot to introduce myself **shakes head**
Greetings Brethren, my name is Martin Ortiz, currently living in the state of NJ and going through my degrees now (my FC is coming in a couple weeks and im ready, thanks partly to the advice of the Brothers in this forum :001_smile:). I belong to St. Johns Lodge #1 in Mountain Lakes, NJ which is getting ready to celebrate its 250th anniversary this May (a feature I love about it is that in the lodge there is a chair that was sat upon by LaFayette himself).
Previously I had been an EMT in the Fire Dept of NY from 96' till 04' and I've definately found the brotherhood thats been missing from my life since then. I did not expect to find it again after having gone through so many tragedies while in service in NY. They say you can't go back, So im moving forward. In the Light with my Brothers.

You certainly have. Continue to seek more. It's painfully obvious when a brother digs his heels in a refuses to grow.
