Another newbie here, hello all.
This forum is awesome!
I hope to make some new recruit buddies here and with any luck gain some useful advice from superior officers.
I am particularly interested in the units my grandfather was in [more on that another time] and hope to write a fitting tribute to him and the men he served with.
