My blog is [http://blog.kevinbasil.com/ Decimation & Reconstruction], an ecclectic mishmash of opinions on nearly everything.
[[Image:Basil_self_portrait.jpg|right|Self-portrait of User:basil]]I am a layman in the [http://oca.org/ Orthodox Church in America]. My membership is with [http://athanasiusoca.org/ St. Athanasius] mission in Nicholasville, KY. I am also a Sailor, a Petty Officer Third Class in the U. S. Navy, currently assigned to USS Jacksonville (SSN 699). I attend services at Dormition of the Theotokos in Norfolk, Virginia. In the past, I have attended services at St. Nicholas Orthodox Church (Greek Archdiocese) most oftenin Portsmouth, New Hampshire, but I have been known to pop in to [http://holytrinityorthodox.org/ Holy Trinity Orthodox Church], cathedral of the [http://www.dneoca.org New England diocese] (Orthodox Church in America), St. Nicholas (OCA) in Norwich, Connecticut, and St. Sophia (Greek) in New London, Connecticut.
I graduated with a degree in Philosophy from [http://asbury.edu Asbury College] in Wilmore, KY. After service in the Navy, I plan to continue my schooling, perhaps with seminary, should the Lord smile on such plans.
