Hey from STL, name change

[11B]

Hey, I'm 11B from St. Louis, MO.  I just changed my screen name from Lando, so I've been around a while.  I'm a member of a couple other boards under 11B or Lando, but I'm trying to switch them all to 11B.  I've been playing Airsoft for about 10 years and just got out of the Army.  I was in the Infantry with the 10th Mountain Division up at Ft. Drum, Frozen Hell aka Upstate NY.  Spent 15 months of my time in Yusafiyah/Baghdad, Iraq.  I've got way too many Airsoft guns, and just as many loadouts.  I'm into WWII and Vietnam Airsoft the most, but have more than my fair share of modern gear.

I know we've PM'ed before, but it is nice to have a fellow 11 Bang-bang here!  Ths poster always made me smile... so true:

[11B]

Hahah I love that one, my unit had it posted up in our TOC in Iraq.  What unit were/are you in?

[Custer]

I did 12 years in the IL ARNG and got out in '99, so I am officially old.  I was part of the 33rd BCT and 35th ID.  I did a couple of TDY KPUPs with 4th ID and 11th ACR out at NTC.  Went to some cool places like Central America and Germany a couple times. Worked with a lot of units but never with 10th Mountain.  We did have a guy who was from 10th Mountain and he humped (not talking sex) better than anyone.  He chalked it up to thos 100 mile force marches you guys had to do.

[11B]

Yup, they loved making us hump around heavy all day and night.  I went to NTC before my deployment in '06, lots of fun!  Hahah

Custer and 11B, and yes Custer I did see you at Stonehouse Park last week. It is really nice to have you guys on here. The are a lot of current and former military floating in airsoft as you both know. I am definitely not from your time, never wore a Fritz helmet, and only wore woodland near the end, never wore ACU's. Only time I spent in the desert was a Ft. Bliss and in Iran when the Shaw was still in power. Just the same, welcome 11B and Custer it would be nice to talk with you at some point when we're not shooting at each other. Both of you take care. Me, my MOS was 11B4PR, in from 1969 to 1989.

Awesome, sounds good.  Thanks for the warm welcome.
