Does anyone here do reenactments(specifically WWII)

[toboggan]

I've always been a huge collector and reenactor. Looking for others that are interested on here as well! *, even tell me what gear you have! i'll get some pics up later of my stuff.

nobody does anything like that in my area. would be interesting in hearing about it though

[toboggan]

Yeah, it's really fun and interesting. You get to meet incredible fun people that like the same things you do!

I fought in a real war and the idea of playing at it. regardless of which one, just doesn't really cut it for me.

Nice!

What war did you fight in, if you don't mind me asking!

The Civil War

I've got a 1939 or '42 K98 Mauser Karabiner. Full US uniform and such. I never wear the uniform.

There's a huge WWII paintball game called Oklahoma D-Day. Around 5,000 people show up. I won't make it this year, for sure, but next year is looking good. Not exactly a reenactment, but fun never-the-less. http://www.ddayadventurepark.com/

Two tours in Vietnam, 1967 and late 1968-1969. And war can be and is *.

My uncle and me in November 1967 in Thailand where we met up for an R&R. I'm the skinny one.

My Grandpa was in the Army in 55 and 56.
Didn't serve over seas at all!

Are you still that skinny? or as big as a bear? lol

I got bigger every time I got hurt bad, which happened way to often. Now I'm old and crippled up way to much.

Your as young as you feel Bear.

Don't be saying that, some mornings I wake hurting so bad, I feel like I must have died overnight or at least come close. Beside the disabled vet thing I got screwed up several more times over the years. Even the state and federal (beside the VA) governments think I'm to broke to be working anymore, so I play as much as I can. Like my mother-in-law says; "Old age is not for sissies!"

[toboggan]

true! looks like you still have your share of fun! I wish i could hunt often. i barely get out anymore due to school and work.
