Enjoy,

First of all, we should discuss your grammar? Y'all sound like usuns, or at least I hope you have a Southern perspective. These are knowledgeable folks and a great source of information. Welcome to the crew.
Welcome 8th La. Find something you like and dig right in. As for a discussion starter, you could tell us about the regiment you honor with your username- just a thought. regards-ed
