Wow a lot has changed!!! I joined this forum about 3 years ago, seems my post count has been reset… though I do remember someone mentioning something about a site crash in the past so that must be it. I started reenacting about 17 years ago… I’m 30 now so you do the math…lol. All through my youth and high school and most of college (history degree) I was reenacting almost every weekend I could muster the money to go. I even became 1LT of my unit when I was 20. After years in the hobby I completely burnt out… utter delusion with the hobby and the politics of the units I belonged to. I began going it solo to every event I could get to… but found myself on the outside looking in… as a progressive reenactor with no unit. So I quit, got married started a business and went on with life.
So here I am years later, really getting the itch to get back in the hobby. To reenter what used to be a passion of mine that has left a hole in me ever since I left. I went to a local event as a spectator about a month ago (I don’t think I’ve ever been a spectator at an event before) and vowed to pick up my rifle again. I have been a rather silent member of this community for the past 3 years, checking in, keeping up on some news… maybe posting here and there. The people in this forum have been the closest thing to a unit I’ve had over that time. I would like to thank everyone here for helping me come around again. I post this in here because The Sinks is my favorite part of the forums! Now I just have to find a unit to join, most of the ones I knew back in the day aren't around anymore or have fractured in peices to point I don't know them anymore!!!
