Hello!
I go by drh1589 and have been somewhat active in the Trek gaming community for the better part of the last 10 years. I've always loved Star Trek and fell in love with games like Elite Force, Armada, and Bridge Commander throughout most of my childhood. I'm currently studying music education and am towards the end of my degree, finding myself with much more free time (that is until student teaching hits :emoticon_ShiftyEyes).
I applied for UFP a few years ago but became swamped with college work and was completely unable to play or be a part of the community. I'd love to get involved and become very active in this community and contribute as much as I can in the future. I'm very excited to be here and to begin playing with you all. :-)

Hah, thanks! I hope so. I've played my fair share of STO in the last several years but it hasn't hooked me like the older games have.

Welcome back then drh1589.
So what are you studying for music education? Planning on being a music teacher then? What instruments do you play?
I've always been partial to the marimba and tympani myself, but that mainly because I taught myself how to be better at them in middle school where our music teacher wasn't teaching advanced stuff.
I miss band class.
Also, I am your recruit support officer, so if you have any questions about how the fleet runs, send me a PM, and I ill do what I can to help.

Welcome back then drh1589.
So what are you studying for music education? Planning on being a music teacher then? What instruments do you play?
I've always been partial to the marimba and tympani myself, but that mainly because I taught myself how to be better at them in middle school where our music teacher wasn't teaching advanced stuff.
I miss band class.
Also, I am your recruit support officer, so if you have any questions about how the fleet runs, send me a PM, and I ill do what I can to help.
Yessir, I'm planning to teach! When I graduate, I'll be prepared to (and be licensed to) teach any kind of music in primary/secondary grades (K-12), from band to choir to general music. I've been an instrumentalist all my life and began on the flute (I'm in the minority for my gender), but joined choir in college and have absolutely fallen in love with singing. I'm currently preparing my senior recital on flute (it's about 8 days away and I'm pretending I'm not stressed 
). I've also been the drumline captain for my university's marching band for the last 3 years so I know quite a bit about percussion and am glad to meet another percussionist 
If you miss band class, I gotta say there are TONS of opportunities to play. I go to school in a town of about ~20,000 and there is a community band run through our college that gets a solid 70 (sometimes lots more) people to rehearse once a week. There's also lots of things through the Salvation Army here (I'm currently working in their music department) to get old and young people alike into playing through all sorts of group and individual instruction. There's plenty of opportunities to play if you're still interested
If you're in college/uni, join the band or a percussion ensemble! My tiny school of <2,000 has an insane amount of ensembles that everyone from music majors to non-majors can enjoy.
Also in creeping on your profile, I see that we're birthday buddies!
Sorry for the long post!

Funnily enough, I just finished downloading TeamSpeak and was looking around for how to access it

Is there anyone in particular I should bother about getting permissions to join other channels? I searched around a bit and didn't find anything definite in the forums.
