Thanks to all for all the kind words! A bit more info.- I am joining the school's artillery unit, and the uniform is Chippewa grey with red facings, with a Pickelhaube style shacko (spike and all!). For those of you who have seen pictures of me, you know I had long hair-in fact, before 2 weeks ago, I had never had short hair (since I had no hair
), so it is pretty weird not having ANY hair!
I will certainly give 100%, though this will be a bit easier in class than on the field:wink2:. I should mention my favorite subjects are history:tongue:, Latin (I love Latin), French, and math.
As to a figure, I am determined to make cadet Lieutenant in the next to years (captain?:rolleyes2
, and by Napoleon I'll do it:salute::! And you know what they say, "Nolite te bastardes carborundorum!"
As to collecting, I'm sure I will find ways to get the latest Britains nap releases even though I'm in PA{sm4}.
One reason I am going to VFMAC is that when I toured the school, I realized there were other kids who were actually INTERESTED in Napoleon and history in general. In the history class, the teacher showed us his grandfather's journal from the Bataan Death March{eek3}! Plus there are all school paintball fights.....
I have actually been to the VF show once before, but that was 4 years ago, and I think I will be there next year.
On another note, I am off to.... BAVARIA today! I had a Bavarian exchange student this year, so now I am going to visit him. The Alps are practically in his backyard, and Neushwdralesteuiinstein (you know, that big castle?{sm4}) is a short drive away!
Vale,
Sandor:salute::
