If you are a fan of Warhammer 40,000 or Age of Sigmar, let me know. Maybe we can put together an RP. I play Ironjawz & Kruleboyz in AOS and Salamanders & Drukhari in 40K.

Bio
I am a veteran of the United States Army and the US Army National Guard. I spent three years on Active Duty serving in the 4th Infantry Division (Mechanized) at Ft. Carson, CO, and the 3rd Armor Division at Kirch Göns, West Germany. I spent 18 years in the Army National Guard with the 26th Infantry Division "Yankee" and 29th Infantry Division (Light), "The Blue and the Gray". I was deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina with the 29th ID (L) in 2001 - 2002. I have also been reading military history articles and books since I was 10 years old. I do prefer Military Role Plays over all other genres, primarily because I have a vast knowledge of the subject including personal experiences. At the very least, my characters are always veterans.
I have been writing for pleasure for at least 35+ years but only got into forum-based Role Playing about eighteen years ago. I do enjoy Nation Role Plays and get into minute detail when designing my military. The only reason I enjoy excruciating detail in my militaries is because for me, it is fun. My education and experience on this subject afford me the insight to see the depth of the structure. It is not just a General and a large pile of soldiers. If someone wants assistance in designing an army, navy, or air force, please send me a PM. I will help. Please specify what level (echelon) or depth you would like me to go. When I say echelon, I mean Army, Corps, Division, Brigade/Regiment, Battalion/Squadron, Company/Troop/Battery, Platoon, and Squad/Section.
When I was a student in High School, I used to play Dungeons & Dragons. Recently, I have been DMing a 5e campaign of my creation for my son and his friends. 5e is so much less cumbersome than earlier editions of D&D. I do have an interest in Tolkien-esque fantasy-styled Role Plays as well. Time travel has always been a fun genre for me, but to do it well, one must have a firm grasp of historical facts.
There are only a few fanfictions I will participate in; Star Wars and Star Trek are two of them. I want to do an exclusively Klingon RP one of these days. I also avoid Canon characters.
I have real-world martial arts experience. I would love to write an RP about hand-to-hand combat, no fantasy magic chit, just hands elbows, knees, and feet. Maybe the occasional head butt thrown in to mix things up. I trained in Krav Maga for six and a half years. I earned a first-degree black belt in Krav Maga on 3 June 2017.
Krav Maga is an Israeli martial art form that employs practical self-defense techniques drawing forms & techniques from Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Taekwando. It is very brutal, demanding, and aggressive. During the seven years I trained, I have bruised two ribs, sustained several muscle pulls, and various lacerations and bruises over my body. I have received a sprained ankle and a fractured wrist. Before the first black belt test, I received a bone bruise to my right shin; where my roundhouse kicks impact. Yet, I am stupid enough to continue training. [Regardless of the physical pain, it is more fun than any other physical activity I have engaged in. Fortunately, the bone bruise healed up prior to the third and final test. EDIT: I did leave the sport over five years ago. :(]
Over two years ago I completed my first novel, a science fiction set in the 24th century. It focuses on a Private Military Corporation solely employed by the earth government. I started a second book in November 2022 and hope to work on that this summer when I have more time.
Send me a PM for a Role Play or if you would like to see what sort of an army I could build for you.

Heavy is going to be the GM taking on the role of referee and the OPFOR (VC and NVA).
I will take the SL position
Captain Britton at RTO
Still need:
ASL, Sniper, Spotter & Scout
The Sniper and Spotter should be close. They will spend a lot of time together.
Same goes with the SL and RTO, but I've been RPing with Britton for years.

Forum: General Interest Checks
@leyroyjenkinsRECON: LRRPs at Bien Hoa. I am working with HEAVY METAL. He is the game moderator because we will be using the ruleset for a game called, RECON, a role-playing game set during the Vietnam War. I am providing Historical background as well as technical military knowledge. There are six slots and three have been filled.
The Six-man team consists of the following positions:
Squad Leader - Staff Sergeant
Assistant Squad Leader - Sergeant
Sniper - Specialist-4
Spotter - Private First Class or Specialist
Radio Telephone Operator (RTO) - Private First Class
Scout - Private First Class
The Spotter, RTO and Scout could also be Spec-4. I figured with Basic Combat Infantry Training (14 weeks) + Airborne School (4 weeks) + Ranger School (9 Weeks), there would be no Privates (E1 or E2) by the time they reach Bien Hoa Air Base. Promotion from E1 to E2 and from E2 to E3 are automatic which would take 6 months (26 weeks) to attain Private First Class (E3). E4 requires points. But having attended Airborne and Ranger school as well as being on a deployment to a combat zone would hasten that promotion too. I know I was promoted to E4 after 19 months time in service. I could see a bunch of LRRP grunts making E4 after 12 - 14 months time in service.

After attending that Car Show yesterday, I would love to own a 2021 Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra.
