Hello All! Just thought you might get a kick out these pictures. As you know, I've been using WW2 reenactors for Sgt. Rock. Well, one of the units near me also do an E company, 506th impression. So they asked if I'd like to join them this past weekend at the American Air Power museum. People came (at least 60) and paid $300.00, to get the airborne experience, get kitted out a bit, go through a briefing etc. etc and then go up in the C47 ( a vet of DDay, Market Garden) for an hour ride with us above Long Island. Since I'm a 101 buff myself, they asked if I'd like to come along, fly with them and tell some stories, so I said sure, but want to be a member of the "Flithy Thirteen." Well needless to say all were pretty surprised when I showed up all kitted out as a HQ Demolitions man complete with mohawk and "war paint." I had a blast and played up the character of not saluting, being a bit of jerk and all to my fellow "troopers." The museum visitors (about 300 or so) really got a kick out of all of this it and we hammed it up as I was chuting up and told an Easy Company officer that "I don't salute officers and if you don't walk away now, I'll whip your ass!". Anyway, I pretty much had just about everything but the gas brassard, and had a lot of fun with all the people. Enjoy and I'll have more pics for Chicago. Currahee!!!!  |

Y'know.........................seeing these cool pictures gives me a great idea! There should be a thread here for any military members, former and present, to show any pictures they have of themselves in uniform! We could include any snapshots of stuff you worked with such as tanks, planes, weapons, etc. Sort of a military appreciation thread! I think that would be kinda' cool! I'd love to see a bunch of pics like that! I've got a good numberof shots I'd post! |

No military service for me (close, but a long story why I didn't). Could I post a picture in my Scout uniform. Talk about service to your country!
