Hello all, my name is Gabriel Bileci, I am 29 years old and live in Monterey, CA. I found out about Fox CO online while researching WW2 reenacting. WW2 reenacting is something I am very interested in participating in. I love the history although there is much I have to learn about many things and would love to garner that knowledge through living history and with the help of you all. I participated in a Milsim West airsoft/reenactment several years ago when they had, I believe the first and only one and participated with I believe at least 1 member of the company. I have been in awe of when the paratroopers did during the war since I was in middle school and first saw Band of Brothers, very cliche, I know. My knowledge of the war is more than basic but there is much to learn and I am very much so interested in learning as much as I can. My grandfather served in the Allied Forces Headquarters, but unfortunately passed before I had much interest in the war. My great uncle also served in the 101st as an MP during OP Market Garden and again, unfortunately, by the time I was interested enough to ask he was failing. As for strengths, I am always willing to learn and improve. I am a good worker and have a good attitude. I have a love for continuing on the stories of those who served and died during WW2 and would love to do that with you all. Their stories cannot be forgotten. I look forward to hearing from you all and possibly seeing you at an event soon!

Hey Gabriel, Thanks for your post and interest. Welcome to the forum. Now that you posted an intro I will change your status to ‘Replacement’. This will give you more access to the message board. I will get in touch with you later this weekend.

Welcome, Gabe!
I'm up in the Sacramento area, so it's good to have another NorCal guy in the unit. I'll ping you, too, in a private messsage.
