Hey there! I'm sure several of you guys have already seen me nosing around on the forums, asking questions about the unit. Only today did I see Mayo's post on requiring an introduction to start the application process, however, so here it is: My name is Noah Ropp, and I've just turned 15, which is why I'm starting to get into reenactment now. I'm in the City of Santa Clarita, and I'm a part of a Boy Scout troop in the area (this is relevant in a sec). While I'm young, I think you'll find me pretty well versed in history compared to most of my contemporaries. I've had a interest in our past, and particularly World War II, for many years now, and I've read quite extensively on the subject (reading's another hobby of mine). Through the Boy Scouts, I do have firearm training in NRA-certified programs, and have experience firing an M1 Garand and Colt 1911. I really respect this country's history, and I love how reenactors keep it alive in a way that our veterans won't be able to do for much longer. I hope to have the pleasure of joining your unit sometime in the future, and in the meantime, sorry for any dumb questions you'll find me asking. Thanks!

Welcome to the forums, Noah. As the LT said, feel free to ask any questions you may have. We have a very knowledgeable group of guys who are dedicated to preserving the history and memories of the people and period. There is also a wealth of information on this forum already; so, you may actually find an answer to your question by simply searching the forums first.
Again, welcome to the forums.
