What a great thread, so nice to see and read about everyone!
Ok here I go...
Real Name: Butch Menchaca
From: Sydney - Northern Beaches (near Long Reef)
Story: my dad got me interested in flying, used to imagine flying bombing missions while sitting in my 'cockpit' made of an upturned stool and a map of Europe. My first flight sim was the original Falcon 1 (which is what got me into computers) FS was 5.0, since then I've had nearly every flying sim worth its CD or DVD.
I also love FPS's started with the original Castle Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake etc, now I am on to COD WAW. Known as Butchmeister, we should start a OzX clan...
;DMarried, 2 kids and 'Monte'... always worked in customer service, airlines, paper industry, telco and now toiling for an office automation company.
This is me with a friend
and my daughter on a recent trip.

Hey Dex, (Rick)
As filipino, I of course grew up in... the Philippines.
Which happens to be made up of only 7100 islands.
That being the case, most people have a passion for the sea and if your not on top of it you'd be under it. In short, I am a diver too, about hmmm close to 900 dives under my belt. I noticed your are / where an instructor so this may blow your mind... I never got certified.
To make things even more exciting, back then we didn't have dive computers, it was a table, depth gauge and your watch.
Added advantage of diving in the topics... shorts and t-shirt is all you need, no wet suits required so you can pee when you want. Hahahaha!
One of my most memorable dives was a shake out dive in front of the resort to about a 140 feet, very scary as its pretty dark at that depth. My flash light imploded but my swatch watch remained intact.
Cheers
Butch
