Hi Everyone

Thank you for welcomeing to the board.

I have just retired from the US Army this year after 24years (SFC) My MOS was 11B (M) I graduated from BFv Master Gunner school in 1990. I have a very big interest in all things military but mainly vehicles, plus I like building models. well thanks again.

Rodney,

Welcome to the board. It's great to have another infantryman around - there's too many tankers for my tastes

Welcome to WAB, Rodney We don't look down our noses at Infanteers. Well, not all of them anyway. Some of them are probably quite worthy (in their peculiar way) I tend to see them as those unfortunate souls who don't fly or travel around wrapped in thick armour. They weren't called the PBI without reason, and some poor sods have to do it.
