Welcome to the big A, Gunny! There are a lot of vets here! Sorry to hear about your retiring, but welcome back and glad that you are home. Start posting pictures of your work.
Ciao for now

Welcome to site Jim, from a UK ex-artilleryman (1970s!). I know that there are a load of ex-servicemen and reservists from all over the world on here, so you're truly amongst friends.

A few of my friends found out the hard way what a culvert bomb can do, so I've got some idea what you must have gone through. A lot of my commision models have gone to veterans as well - a good home with people that deserve to have them.

Welcome to Armorama.

I am sorry about that roadside bomb, but hey, look at the positive side: you survived!!!!

Welcome to our ranks Jim! Glad you found us. Enjoy the site, join a campaign and share your modeling knowledge.
