Introduction for Request to Join Unit

My name is Steven Silvestro, I am 20 years old and I’m currently stationed at Camp Pendleton MCB. I found your unit through my own research online. I started reenacting when I was 14 in Northeast Ohio with an 83rd I&R unit at events like the DDay Ohio Conneaut Reenactment, The Bridge at Remagen in Tidioute, PA, Fort Indiantown Gap in PA and WW2 Weekend in Reading PA . Since then I have also done 101st ABN, USN on the USS Cod in Cleveland Ohio, WWI US Infantry, and USMC with the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, TX. After reviewing the site information for the units on the CHG webpage, I decided to contact your unit because it stood out as well organized and dedicated to authenticity. After studying WWII for most of my life as a hobby I feel I have a strong grasp of its general history and the tactics and details of a combat environment in the Second World War. I am familiar with the training and technical/ tactical skills of the Parachute Infantry, as well as the tactical advantage that they brought to the battlefield. In my previous reenacting experience I have met with many WWII vets to include Joe Lesniewski, Bill Guarnere, and Babe Heffron. I have experience in working on WWII jeeps and other period vehicles. I am enlisted in the Marine Corps and have received an extensive amount of tactical training that could have the potential to contribute to youe unit. Being that I am active duty, my responsibilities to the Marine Corps is highly unpredictable and may interfere with my ability to attend certain events. If this will cause a problem with my gaining membership I fully understand. Gear should not be an issue. I have an Airborne kit in Ohio that I plan to ship out here shortly. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to your reply.
