    Hi, I've been a WW2 enthusiast since I was 8. My start with computer gaming coincided with the World Book encyclopedia subscription my parents bought me. The rest is history.

    I have served in the US Marines as an aircraft mechanic, I went to college when I got out, and I am now looking for interesting subjects to model in polystyrene.

    Thanks.

    Nice to have you aboard. There's plenty to read about the Pacific Theater, so enjoy.

    Larry, if you lean real close I'll give you a hint on how it ends.

    Thanks for the welcome posts. I really wasn't expecting so much, but I guess you guys know how to party :belasar:

    Nice to see so much enthusiasm (despite the inside jokes). I posted in the Pac War aviation section about pictures of Icy Japanese scenes.

    Thanks a lot guys

    American flag flying over a Honda plant. Thousands of Americans getting payroll from their jobs. It could be worse.

    Love the Japanese, but have you ever had to work for them? Really uptight. People die on their feet over there, and are shamed for not living out their shift.
    Maybe that's why there is an influx of workers here...Business wants cheap labour to death...vote dahnold.
    Globalists want to eek out every work hour and drop of energy from the normals...Time is coming, where we change all that.

    I've had guys die on my crew and I didn't notice the difference in production for several days :)
    By the way, welcome to the forum exhausted. I have a bumper sticker that reads "retired, I was tired yesterday and I'm tired again today".
