Old Fort MacArthur Days.

[Wild Root]

Here's a photo of my self and two friends of mine. I hung out with some good friend this past weekend at Fort MacArthur for their annual July event. It was much fun to see all the other history buffs in time periods from the Roman times to Vietnam!

My two friends here are with a WWII Nurse group who go to battle reenactments here in California. To my right is my friend Catharine who is wearing an original WWII U.S.M.C Uniform and to the left of me is her older sister, Laura who is sporting an original WWII Wave uniform! I am in my original WWII Enlisted class "A's" with a 5th Air Force patch you can't see in this photo. I had just bought that enlisted cap I have on and wanted to remember the moment with them!

Enjoy!

Root.

PS. I moved this from Events to WWII seeing that this event is over and is about WWII Reenacting.

My my, Root--you certainly cut a dashing figure in that uniform!

The two ladies are looking lovely as well!

That revolutionary war soldier in the background is what really makes the picture.

Kind of like stepping into the Twilight Zone with all the soldiers from different time periods.
I think Root would look good in a tricorn.
Be careful walking around in that uniform Root. I understand they need a few soldiers to meet their quota. Looks like you fit the bill and are ready for action. :cheers1:

Aw, let him have his fun. When they induct him he will need to remember that.

You for get!

Obviously you didn’t notice the Sergeant stripes!

I was also known as a 2nd Lieutenant of the mighty 8th from time to time.

No, I would only help out over there if they were still flying B-17’s.

Thank you to all for the kind words.

Root.

PS. Any one remember this outfit? Yeah, I can do Officer!

That could be arranged but I wouldn't want to fly one of those monsters real low with the SAM threat. Just paint a bulls eye on it! I would rather be on terra firma.
