Introduce yourselves

You are all welcome gentleman (ladies ?) I know I am new here, and as far as I have seen the moderators are doing a bang up job, but a bit of civility is always nice. I know a different language can be a challenge, and misunderstandings occur, but as students of History, (and in some few cases, makers of it) I am sure we can get along with only minor issues. After all, we have a direct source of the topic at hand. I am sure Merlins insight will give a different perspective on things. To the youngsters (myself included) lets keep in mind there is a huge difference in reading a thing, and doing it. Okay, off my soapbox, and back to my corner with the rest of the FNG's...

 

What an FNG? (Not who...I know who they are around here)

 

F*cking New Guy.

Our member called FNG is now a FOG...

 

NG

Cdat is a 'BTDTOG'.

 

Okay Merlin, I'll bite, what is a BTDTOG? (I will probably regret this... )

 

answer

It's a compliment, BTDTOG is .....
"Been There, Done That, Old Guy". as compared with a....NBTNDTYG.

 

Welcom to the forum Cdat.
Second biggest tank battle, wouth that be the attack on Baghdad in 2003?

signed, a NBTNDTYG

 

Not sure how that compares Quillian..the one I am talking about is 73 Eastings

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_73_Easting

I am not normally much for wikipedia, but from what I remember, this entry is pretty much on the mark.

I was with Eagle troop. Gunner on an M1

Thanks Merlin for the compliment...course my little scrap was nothing compared to yours, from what I understand of your units history. Salute to you sir.

 

Welcome Cdat!

We're always more than happy to have people with actual experiance on here. Too often we lose sight of reality in our questing after facts & figures!

 

Thank you Ricky...though in hindsight, I could have done without the experience, if you know what I mean.

 

And that's exactly the kind of reality we need around here sometimes.

 

I was googling and founded only reference to Kursk and that battle. so, i thought it was Baghdad 2003.No ten points for me

 

Quillian, give that one a read. The 73 Eastings link I have above...Gah, craziness abounded there.

 

I already readed it. Seemed like a though battle.
Craziness, you have no idea how crazy this forum sometimes can be
PS: The name is "Quillin", no "a"

 

My apologies...I thought I had that whole spelling thing down...

We ended up shooting in all directions at times..a "target rich area" like circling the wagons in the old western movies.

 

Welcome aboard Tango Charlie, hope you will enjoy the time with us.

Best Regards,
Che.
