    Let's see if I can answer all the required questions here....

    My name is squidly. It's nautical. I'm a USN veteran.
    I'm 44.
    from Alabama, but live in Florida
    Pacific War interests me in particular, WWII in general, US military history more generally
    I do enjoy war gaming but rarely get more advanced than Axis and Allies
    also something of a Civil War buff but that has waned some
    as for #7, something else I'd like to share, I suggest you all try worcestershire sauce on your scrambled eggs. Thank me later.

    Mainly I never grow weary of discussing WWII and I see that some of you don't either.

    Welcome Squidly!

    Mind if I ask what you did in the USN?

    I was an electronics technician in Bill Clinton's navy.

    Howdy.
    Alabama is a great place to be from. Do you say Roll Tide or that verbal abomination that emanates out of the East Alabama University?

    Worcestershire sauce on eggs? I'll try it if you will try peanut butter on a hotdog. Not something I do with any degree of regularity, but it is a lot better than I thought it would be.

    Of course I say Roll Tide. Peanut butter on cornbread is also a good combination, if you can manage to spread it without crumbling the bread.

    As someone living in the Knoxville, TN area, this statement doesn't make any sense to me :)

    Welcome to the forum squidly. I'm a Navy vet as well, as was my dad and my grandfather.
