[Toptob]

Hey I'm Toptop (appereantly). My real nickname is Toprob, but a typo slipped through in my application!

I'm currently 23 years old, almost 24, and I am a first year anthropology student in Leiden (the Netherlands). I live in the Hague and I used to study industrial design but I got bored.

I have no affiliation with any military or militaristic organisation, and I'm not all that fond of violence. But I do have a long lasting interest in military history and technology, geopolitics and everything to do with that stuff.

I've been a member on this forum for some time now and I thought I'd introduce myself so here it is!!

Cheers Robert

[GermanHerman]

Hi All!

I'm 22 yrs and as you might have guessed I'm german (but my name ain't herman by the way ;D ).

Well, I didn't done compulsory military service (because it is so easy to fail the medical examination on purpose) and so I lack any kind of deeper / inside knowlege of the military but I'm very intersted in global strategic and the military situation of different states around the world.

I already read the forum for a while and I'm quite impressed about the quality and knowlege of its members, so maybe I won't be able to participate in alot of discusions but I'll throw in some questions from time to time for sure

That's it for now =D

 

[Waylander]

Welcome to this forum.

It's good to have another fellow German here. We are a small but lovely group here which needs every help it can get to counter our US and Aussie block here.

Hello all,

My name is Brian, I am a civilian, and I have much enjoyed reading through the info here on this site.

I am a both a lifelong student and often teacher of wilderness and survival skills. I am also a bit of a gear junkie. Is there a section here where personal gear and survival tools are discussed?

Thanks,

Brian

 

[Feanor]

Hello Brian. We don't have a section for survival tools and personal gear specifically, but the Land Forces subforum would be an appropriate place to discuss these within the context of troops equipment. The Off-Topic forum would be a place to discuss these things outside of that context (for example in relation to camping or wilderness survival more specifically).

 

[Tarsas]

Hi, I'm Aaron. My current username is something I register by everywhere, but for an introduction, I will use my name.

I am a military enthusiast and 16 years of age. I live in the United States. I am considering joining the reserve or possibly the military.

Hello, and thank you. I am at this point however more interested in gear and survival techniques from a pilot's perspective. With my father being a U.S. Marine before i came along and other family members in the U.S. Army I have had a lot of input from that perspective over the years....although it is of course always of interest to me.
