Default Recruit in GA
Hello

Well since I am new to this group and have yet to post anything in here I wanted to introduce myself and give a little background info. My name is Joseph, am 24 and live in Southwest GA. I have studied the American Civil War since I was 12 and have been a reenactor for 7 years. I mainly portray a Western Theater Confederate or Federal soldier but do the occasional Eastern theater thing but have yet to do any Trans-Mississippi portrayals. I don't wish to discuss my personal life too much on a public forum but feel free to PM if you like to talk about that. As for as my reenacting "career"
goes I am more what you would call "progressive" since I am always striving to better my impression to educate and better represent my ancestors. I have attended the gamut of events from your typical "corndog fest" up to the "stitch counter" stuff. I am easy
enough to get along with and will talk to just about anyone and love to help anyone who wishes to be more accurate in their ACW impressions. Just say HI sometime if you want to chat. Here are my
units I belong too
http://www.geocities.com/twelfthgeorgia/12th1.html These guys are mainstream/progressive with more going to the campaign side of things. I currently serve as a Sergeant within the group. We are also sponsoring an event, if you are in GA(or anywhere) we inviteyou to attend.

http://www.geocities.com/joey_gangler/Flatlanders_Mess.html
This is my "mess" company which I started a few years ago. We are all progressive minded and always on the look out for that event that will let us better experience what our ancestors went through and educate ourselves and the public.

Default Welcome
Joey,
Welcome to the forum. I have had some nice travels through your beautiful state. For someone reasonably young, you show great interest and talent. I salute you from the Republic of Wisconsin. Huzzah!

Hello Joey,

Welcome to the forum. I am quite new here myself. Good to see someone young taking part in re-enacments. Too many times in movies like Gettysburg, the troops look too old and overweight. They really should recruit extras from local schools. Would look more convincing.
