Replacement trooper ready for duty

For those that do not know me I would like to introduce myself

1) Name, Age, and Location.
James "Bleed" Reed, 46, Oxnard CA

2) How did you hear about Fox Company, 506th?
Fought along side you guys for about five years with Baker Co, 505th, 82nd AB.  Also, I have fought with many of you in the Pacific, most recently, a couple of weeks ago.

3) Do you have any reenacting experience? Have you done World War II reenacting before?
I have been re-enacting Civil War, Co. A, 2nd Mass Cavalry "Cal 100" since 1997. Currently, I am a corporal with Baker Co, 505th, 82nd AB.  I have been with the 82nd since 2014.

4) Why do you want to join our unit? What drew you to us instead of some of the other Allied units in the CHG and RPS?
I have fought along side the 101 since I began WW2 re-enacting.  the American Airborne units with the CHG far surpass the other units I have been exposed to in dedication, authenticity, knowledge and fighting spirit

5) What knowledge do you have of the Second World War? Are you familiar with the roles of the American paratrooper?
I have extensive knowledge. Military history has always been a passion.  While I do not have formal education in history, I have studied martial history for the past 40 years.

6) Have you had any contact with World War II veterans previously?
Yes, mostly at the more recent air shows and military history events.

7) What can you bring to this unit? Will you be an asset?
I will bring my experiences of re-enacting for the past 22 years.  I can fill many rolls within the unit, including rifleman, BAR man or help man special weapons.  Also, I do enjoy cooking and can offer my services with the company mess.

8) Anything else we should know about you?
I have a BS in Manufacturing Engineering and currently a senior Mechanical and manufacturing Engineer in Ventura.  As such, I find improvisation with equipment or fortifications somewhat interesting.
