1) Hey there my name is Daniel Silva, I'm nineteen, and I'm from Rancho Cucamonga California!
2) I learned about the unit through the CHG website because I've always wanted to be a part of a reenactment group.
3) Unfortunately, I do not have any reenactment experience
4) I chose the 101st airborne because I love World War Two history and the 101st are some of the most badass guys that fought in the conflict.
5) I know quite a bit about World War Two, I am a history major in college right now and I have also read many books about the conflict and especially about the 101st.
6) My grandfather was a World War two veteran, though he was in the navy.
7) I am eager to join and participate with the other members of the unit and hope to be a productive member. I am respectful and ready to learn what I can from the different members and know that I can be an asset to the unit.
8) Well, there isn't much else but I feel like I should tell you that I have minor asthma so I'm not sure if that would bar me from joining the unit at all.

Welcome Daniel!
Someone will be contacting you and changing your status so you can get around in the forum
This is a close knit group of spot on guys that really know this hobby inside and out
We'll get you situated with what you need until you can procure your own gear
In the meantime, read, read, and read so you are familiar with what we do
It's good to have you aboard and hope to see you on the DZ

Welcome to the forums, Daniel. Glad to see you're a history major. I was, too.
Anyway, as SSgt. Meek pointed out, we have a good deal of loaner gear to help get you started. Boots are usually the first thing you'll want to get on your own, since shoe sizes vary a lot. But we can help with most everything else so you don't have to drop a ton of money out right away.
I've also changed your status from "recruit" to "FNG." You should be able to access more of the forums that way. We have some events coming up in the coming months, so read up on those as the details begin to pour in. And feel free to PM any questions you might have either to myself of PSgt. Al Gehry. We're here to help.
See you on the DZ!
