Hi everyone!
I am the new cadet here, Mircea is my name, 39 yrs old, civil engineer from Timisoara, after 3 years practice in Munich I am back home.
I am pacifist, but I love the history, WWII in particular (thanks to Sven Hassel).
My hobby is numismatics (but I DO NOT collect medals...)
My nickname are the initials of my main parachute in army (20 years ago...), if somebody cares.

[RobertThePastor]

Howdy! I'm Robert. I live in southern California, USA. I am 45, a former US Marine (I have never been to Romania, but I would love to visit), I am married (it will be 12 years this July '07) with two children.
I am a Christian. I used to be a youth pastor.
I am a former school teacher. I now have my own business on the Internet.
I want to learn about the Romanian army of 1940-1945. It appears to me that many Romanian Infantry formations in WWII fought as good or better than everyone else that they fought.
I look forward to meeting you all, even if only through e-mail!
All the best,
Robert

Hello! I think in my first message I should present myself. I am Andrei-Daniel Ionescu, 24 years old, student at the “Politehnica” University of Bucharest, Aeronautical Engineering Faculty. Also I am an employ of Ubisoft on a quality assurance position (game tester )! My interest are various, ranging from plastic models (mainly modern subjects), coins and stamps collecting, millitaria (old and new) to weapons (also new and old). At this moment I am practicing airsoft.
I would like to know more about militaria collectibles and I would like also to obtain an collector permit in order to start a weapon collection.
I hope that I would find many answer to my questions on this forum.

My real name is the same as my user name. Am 54 (soon to be 55), live in the rural area of Central Virginia between Charlottesville and Richmond. I'm a veteran of the US Navy (8 years) and my politics have been decidedly red since '72 (I do not make an issue of these politics in collectors' forums, but it will give some insight as to my thinking regarding the ODM's I collect). I have traveled extensively before returning to the area in which I live (27 countries). I play music (professionally when younger; nowadays to relax)- guitar and cittern.

My areas of collecting are: Soviet (all periods), Mongolian (Socialist), East German (DDR), Bulgarian (Socialist) and Romanian (Socialist). I am also a member of the Soviet Awards Forum, the Wehrmacht Awards Forum and the DDR Collectors' Forum.

My name's Mihai Modrea-Marin (hence the 3 M's) - another Mihai on this forum!
I'm 31 going on 32 (in the summer). I wish I discovered earlier this forum, but...
I loved military history from early childhood; afterwards, only ww2; I also went through Sven Hassel phase, then college (History-English Language, Iaşi, Univ. "Al. I. Cuza"), graduated in 2000 with a thesis about the German offensive in Ardennes in december 1944. After that, a "simple" teacher of English, until 2005, when I got back on the saddle with master studies (2005/07), then PHD (2007-hopefully 2010), all with military history! BTW, I never was in the Army, never touched a firearm and I'M PROUD OF IT!!!!! Some on this forum may think I'm aggressive enough without firearms, as well
I like computers, I like Heavy Metal (Iron Maiden rules!) and I used to be a nationalist, until I got a little wiser
PS: I still am a teacher of English - WW2 History is just for myself!

[ANDREAS]

Hallo everybody,
Since by accident I discovered this I present myself later than others.
So my name is Udreanu Andrei /friends called me Andreas since Gimnasium since there were several Andrei in class and because my grandpa was german -Zimmermann -I was told Andreas /I am from Arad city, almost 32 years old, and work as legal advisor at a private company.
My interested areas would be WWII eastern and western fronts, Cold War period and military technology -armour and artillery especially.
And also military history from XVIII to XX centuries.
I hope to find here more informations and help in my research areas since I prepare a book regarding Romanian Army history between 1948 -1989.
Best Regards.
