Hello Everybody and Thank you for a Warm Welcome to Steemit

Hello everyone,

I am really happy to join Steemit this week. It seems the community has grown really strong and it's really fun to be here blogging and conversing with everyone. My name is Mack, I was born in California and was flown to Oregon by helicopter because they didn't have the medical supplies to treat a 2.5pd(1 kilo) baby at the small hospital in OC. When I was young, my mother divorced my father because of drug abuse and raised me on her own for a few years until meeting my, what I like to call "real" father. He raised me and gave me an awesome little sister by the name of Brook.

When I was 18 I didn't have any money and wanted to serve my country in a patriotic way, so I joined the United States Marines Force and underwent training in MCRD camp Pendleton in California. Due to my interest in living overseas in Japan, I found a contract within the Marines that would guarantee my overseas deployment to Japan, and lived on Okinawa for 4 years studying Japanese and going to college online at night. During the last 2 years in the Marines I switched jobs 3 times, finally ending up as the regimental translator for CLR 35 and getting the opportunity to help the Japanese people as the Marine force translator after the tsunami on March 11, 2011. Not taking any breaks after the Marines, I got my personal trainers certification and started working as a personal trainer/studio trainer in Tokyo while going to college full time to master Japanese.

Currently I am working in Tokyo trying to learn as much as I can about cryptocurrencies and Steemit at the same time. If you don't mind supporting me in my quest I will do my best to support everyone as well! Lets work together to continue to turn Steemit into the freedom of press site that it is meant to be!!
