Here's some of my stuff from "back in the day". 21 years US Army. I suspect there are a few of us around here. You might learn quite a bit from those of us who've been downrange. Real combat is not like a video game, and respect must be earned every day.

edit - On 16Oct10I removed my old AirborneSchoolphoto from Fort Benning and my awards/badges photo. My priormilitary service really isn't relevant to the hobby of buildingRC tanks.
