Title: Greetings from an Old Infantryman
Post by: iron mike golf on June 08, 2015, 02:09:00 PM
Brant gave me an assist in getting my account activated (Thanks again!).

I am active on the Matrix forum for Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm under the same name.

I started with board war gaming at 11 years old with Kriegspiel. In college, that really got out of hand (many, many SPI titles).

17 years in Big Army in the various flavors (and MTOE) of infantry (Ranger, Straight Leg, Airborne, Light, M113 Mech, M2 Mech). Lots of sims, there, of course. Currently addicted to FC:RS.

My handle is the last active duty radio callsign I had.

Jeff,
Akron, OH

You're not an old infantryman, Jeff. I mean, Bawb fought in our War of Independance.....on the wrong side, of course!

Welcome!

Well, I have to agree with you there.

And don't talk with your mouth full. Its bad manners.

Insanity! A pornstar 'stache and Star cannot exist in the same forum or it will form a singularity.

Actually, they are all quite mad. A clear case of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether if I ever saw one. But I'm sane, of course.  :uglystupid2:

Yup. And "Iron" is for "Old Ironsides", which is the 1st Armored Division.

I didn't want to presume what the call sign was, since there are several of those floating around, but I knew the MG part of it :)

14 years in tank units will do that to you
