Introductions
Hi Everyone,
I'm really excited to be a part of this new community! I'm currently serving as a Sergeant in the Band of the Coldstream Guards but I've been spending the past year or two learning all about cyber security as I look to leave the army next June. I came across Immersive Labs after a meet up at the Waterloo Cyber Club, which I discovered through TechVets. Clem Cravens gave a fascinating introduction to Immersive Labs at the event and I've been hooked ever since. If you'd like to learn more about my journey then have a read of From Military Musician to Cybersecurity Consultant: How Immersive Labs Prepared Andy for His New Career .
Equally, I'd love to learn more about other people's experiences and any particularly good labs they've enjoyed. Also happy to help if anyone is new to Immersive Labs and wants a bit of help getting started!
Outside of Immersive Labs I'm a massive cycling fan and think libraries are amazing as I'm an avid reader of pretty much everything and anything!
Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Andy.

Hey, Andy!
Are you based near Coldstream, then, I assume? I have been lucky enough to visit nearby Kelso a few times, which is a lovely place and I have fond memories. Sadly, I never managed to pop to Coldstream itself - one day!- Andy_Skelton11 months ago
