Recruit Houlihan, Reporting For Duty!
Well, I had to be a little different! 
I'm a retired Marine, currently a deputy sheriff in SE Michigan. Right now I work Corrections, Midnight shift. That's good in a way, because I get to do a lot of typing!!!
My interests in WWII are primarily the ETO. I'm slowly working on a divisional history of 6.SS-Nord. Emphasis on slowly. I'm trying to do something right now to get some more money to buy microfilm, but I can't talk about that yet. Too mercenary.
As I scroll through, I'm hoping to see some folks from other forums I belong to, like Feldgrau, AHF, Tanks in WWII, Feldpost, WW2talk, Worldwartwozone, and all the other ones I can't think of right now. I think there are about 10 now! 
I'll hit the "What If" section last. That could be too much fun for one night!

Re: Recruit Houlihan, Reporting For Duty!
Good to have a solid contributor to the WWII knowledge base here. Why not put your website into your signature or your profile Tom? A website like that is worth sharing & promoting.

Um...Okay! I just have to figure out how! Well, I thought I just put it in my signature, but maybe I don't have enough Time In Service for it to take?
Erich, would that be Gebirgsjager im Bild? Have it! I also have Schreiber's book, but haven't tried translating it yet.

Hello Tom,
Always nice to see a familiar name.
