Hello everyone. My name is Cacy, I am 38 years old, and I am from Lemon Cove Ca. I was talking to Randle yesterday and he told me about Fox Company. I have done Civil War reenactment for many years but never WWII. I have always been interested in WWII and parartroopers. It is amazing what paratroopers were able to acomplish with so little resources. I have ready many books and watched hiatorical movies about paratroopers but I am no expert. I have some contact with WWII veterans. I am very responsible, trustworthy and dependable. I am in law enforcement. I currently own 2 m1 garands, a couple m1 helmets and a m42 uniform. Would need some help to make sure I have all the proper gear. Looking forward to joining a reenactment.

Welcome Cacy!
Sounds like you have a good start on gear
It is imperative that you procure a pair of jump boots
Corcorans would be your priority at this point
There are a few good vendors to choose from but please research and post up so we can make sure you find a quality boot before purchasing
We have loaner gear available for everything else until you find your own
Glad to have you and hope to see you on the DZ!
