Hi, I just registered. I am 64 years young, US Army retired. Been reading Civil War literature all of my life. Own Gods and Generals and Gettysburg movies along with Glory. I am thinking of getting in to reenacting since I am semi retired from my second career and have a lot of time on my hands. My ancestors on both sides of the family arrived in America long after the conflict.
I basically had two careers in the Army: from 1964-70 I was a communications intelligence analyst(98C). From 1976-91 I reentered the Army and became an MP followed by CID. How about you?
My favorite battle to research is Gettysburg.

Mark,
Interesting that you are at Ft. Bliss. I've been reading a lot about the Regiment of Mounted Riflemen who were there in the 1850s, before the late unpleasantness.
