Greetings and felicitations, gentlemen!

My name is Mike and I followed some link from the CM:Norm forum on battlefront to here. I have played CMBO/CMBB and CMAK and also model WWII armor. I'm here mostly to gather any nuggets of wisdom on the CMX2 engine.

Bio: I'm originally from Philly but moved to NJ as a teen. Joined the Army in 87 to get of NJ but did Basic at Ft. Dix and AIT at Ft. Monmouth, NJ. Then I called my mom and told her I was in the Army. She asked me if I took the trash out. She hadn't noticed me missing yet. Shortly afterwards, I was stationed at:

25th ID, Schofield Bks, HI
24th ID, Ft. Benning, GA
101st ID, Ft. Campbell, KY

I now live in TN with my lovely wife and too many cats.

Finally, I have some pics of my builds (Tamiya builds) I'll share later.
 
Gentlemen, I have questions about being promoted and ribbons. Should I continue reading everything?

please advise/admonish accordingly

I almost joined the Brit Army as a teen in the 1960's, got as far as sending off for a glossy brochure mainly to get kool pics of tanks and guns, but got the shock of my life when a 'Sgt Butterfield' called at my home in full dress uniform, stripes and all, on a followup courtesy visit a few days later, but I never answered the door and dived behind the settee til he'd gone.
There was an enlistment form in the brochure, so I later filled it in with the name and address of a kid down the road who nobody liked, and sent it in..

quite funny! I almost joined the Navy because I was going through Naval JROTC in school. For you Brits, it was a naval training course in High School. I was about to sign up in the Navy but was told my recruiter went AWOL (Absent Without Leave). I then chose to try the Army because that recruiter seemed to be honest...:RpS_unsure:
 
Yo Mike!
Welcome aboard.
Your story of enlisting and not being missed is very familiar. My Great Uncle Jimmy was sent down to the corner store for a some beer (pre WW2) met a recruiter for the Merchant Marine. He joined up and shipped out immediately. He didn't bring the beer home until 3 years later.

ha! pretty funny.

I enlisted in Mt. Holly, NJ and my basic was at Ft. Dix, NJ (ten minutes away)
I told my Drill Sergeant (SGT Ledbetter) that we could all go to my house for sandwhiches. He then offered to rip my arms off and beat me with them and admonished me to beat my face until he was tired.

he never got tired.

:confused:

And because of that warm welcome you signed up for another five years ?

Perhaps he wasn't hungry at all ? Or he really didn't like sandwhiches ?

I re-enlisted because I found me a monobrowed honey in PLDC (Army School) and married her later on. Little did I realize that she was secretly a nefarious rug munching evil doer! I would help comb her unibrow and apologize for being estrogen impaired.

*shudders*

oh the huge manatee!

She is my ex wife now and just a bad memory. :eek:hwell:
 
Im curious if there is any truth to the rumor that Hiram is a writer from SNL, planted here to send us into stitches?

SNL hasn't been funny since the early 80's in my hirsute opinion.

Then perhaps we should consider planting you amongst their ranks! Ready for a career change?

funny is also subjective - I've offended many more people than I've amused. Like when I tell my neighbors that Jefferson Davis could have done a better job than Obama.
