The big guy. Will. I am having trouble loading some movie clips, so check back later. Thanks for looking Merlin. Any questions let me know?
The only "Will" I can see on the "Meet the guys" page is William Hardage, AKA Germanm36tunic, now banned. Care to clarify since you have previously stated you are not him? That aside, the website looks good.
tunic 36 If you are as you say, 'WILL' you are as I and others have suspected for a long time that you are 'Tunic36', banned from this forum. I have followed the site given and the previous site, my suspicions are confirmed. From the photo below , by your own admission, Will is the one with the AT device? "What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive". Please clarify!
the nefarious Will Will is our CO. not me. I was, but this .s a democracy.Will handles a huge load as a full time College Student, an AC repairman (also full time) the CO of the 9th Arkansas (Federal troops ACW) etc etc. he is a selfless leader who goes the extra mile in promoting ww2 and civil War reenactment. He is also a bit exuberent perhaps overly chauvinistic. and not terribly inhibited. At our January meeting he was elected CO of the 12th Inf Div he has since that time recruited many members produced a members handbook and managed the service record including awards and event attendance singlehandedly, keep that in mind as you judge him, I don't think I could have done that at age 20.
over ten members even if banned he will still have access to the forum if not thru me then others, I have tried to get everyone in our unit to join who has a computer, none of the members of the 12th Inf Div goes to battle wearing farbwear, we are all outfitted in reproduction tunics and trousers wearing real German helmets and the best boots available. in weapons and in audacity we are unmatched, l'audas l'audas, toujours l'audas, audacity audacity, always audacity, these gentlemen have done a splendid job of assuring that ww2 reenactment is done well in little old backwards Arkansas. we took out a US Army tank at Jefferson Barracks and have been the largest unit at all mid-south reenactments which we have attended. Arkansas has a good share of ww2 veterans. they did their part in that conflict, we are trying to do our part in if not keeping the memory alive at least entertaining the public and showing our members what it is like to be a soldat. I am still waiting for response to my blanket invitation to join with us in reenacting ww2. any person living in this state (Arkansas) or any contiguous state may be members of our unit, that includes Missouri, Tennessee, , Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana/ maybe even Illinois
Heart of America this is the mid South, we are PROUD perhaps overly proud, we have a place in History, we are the natural state, we have more of what makes life beautiful, more trees more lakes more game more fish and more enthusiasm for whatever we do, the Stadium si the third largest city in Arkansas when the Razorbacks play- 50,000 fans show up, we have a ww2 Submarine, we have Little Rock Air Force Base. we have soldiers from the Arkansas National Guard serving in IRAQ and we have Will Hardage's German 12th Infantrie Divisione
Pretty much anyone can access the forum (Dependent on such things as local firewalls or servers) including any former member, not everyone is allowed to post on here though. I would hope you're not suggesting allowing a twice banned individual to post using your account (Which reading between the lines is what you seem to be suggesting), whilst it might not break the letter of any specific forum rules, it would certainly seem like breaking them in spirit. So what? I have never met anyone for who I would consider "Sorry but I've got too much on to be polite" a reasonable excuse for being so ill-mannered regardless of their age. His conduct on here, which is all I can form my opinion of him on, often went beyond "exuberent and overly chauvinistic" and was ignorant and outright insulting on a number of occasions. He was repeatedly warned and ultimately recieved the banning he deserved. End Of.
Re: Heart of America I would consider this rather irrelevant to the discussion mentioned above. It hurts to see we have these types of discussions in the modelling/reenactment thread, which has always been a pieceful place with people minding their hobbies. I'm very sorry to have to say this, but please KP mind your step at this one.
