Name: Bunker, Aren Age: 15 Location: Lafayette, California
I Found this group just by visiting this website and trying to find a group that looks interesting.
I do not have any reenactment experience but I play airsoft and attended Marine Military Academy this summer.
This group got my attention because it seems like the people really care about their profession and the WWII experience.
I really started getting into WWII back in 6th or 7th grade. I learned most of the stuff I know from documentaries and YouTube videos.
My grandfather was in the Marines during Vietnam, I have a lot of respect for veterans.
As far as reenactment goes, I can sure take a bullet hit as I took a few acting classes when I was younger.
My schedule is usually built around school so I can usually do anything after 4:00 But I usually have free time. I enjoy pretending I'm in battle by sleeping on my cot in my backyard with my gear and uniform.
Looking forward to connecting with like-minds.

Welcome to the forum Aren, I will send you an email soon. Take this time to do research. Read up on WW2 history as much as you can. I strongly suggest you start with Fighting Fox Company: The Battling Flank of the Band of Brothers by Bill Brown and Terry Poyser. co written by one of our unit founders. Its a great read. Highly recommended. Strongly encouraged for all new members. I will be in touch soon. Al Gehry-

Hello Aren and thanks for posting up. This is an incredible group of guys to be a part of. We take lot of pride in our level of dedication to historical accuracy and research. We also hold ourselves to a much higher standard as a unit and you'll notice this very quickly when/if you attend a future event. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a DM.
