Hey everyone, It's Basic here. I'm not a n00b to this sport, but not a total veteran. To be completely clear, I'm a person who loves the history of multiple military groups, weapon technology, and obviously, airsoft. I am located in Waterford, Michigan, and I am pretty active on MiA. Once again, hello, and I hope to get into the sport more and learn a few things in the process.

I'm very interested in the Vietnam War. Specificly the 3rd Marines of Vietnam, since my Grandfather earned a silver star as a 3rd Marine, on Sept. 10, 1968. I'm in a SLOW process of putting together a Vietnam loadout. My Great Grandfather was part of the 442nd/100th Infantry. Here's a challenge: Why was the 442nd/100th Infantry so different from other regiments? I'm just curious of how many people know about them. I can't wait to sling some plastic with you guys, too!

It was made up mostly of Japanese soldiers, and its the last infantry reserve unit.

I'm more of a WWII guy (as many people on the forum will tell you). I'm either going to make a Marine P42 kit or German kit. Not sure which first, though. Anyways, glad to see you on the forum!
