Well, since I never introduced myself either, I thought I would get in on this!<br>
<br>
My name is Rusty Myers, born, bred and raised in Charleston, South Carolina, graduated from The Citadel, Served with the Charleston Police Department for 9 years, was in the FBI for one, then blew out a leg bad. Still Police reserves, but now I do Financial Planning. Been playing paintball all my life, got into and out of Civil War Reenacting (the politics were just too much! I reenacted Federal (union) in Charleston SC, where they are still not sure the war ended) Ran out of WWII, WWI, and Civil War history books, so started getting deeper into the Ancients. The Romans earned a special place, so with a few friends we started Legio VI Ferrata about a year ago and LegionArmory.com to help outfit ourselves and others. We also started doing lots of high detail pictures of the stuff since it seemed everything we ordered wasn't "quite as pictured" or described.<br>
<br>
I am also a Christian, and have written a number of Roman/Easter and Christmas plays (last Easter my legion "Took Over" the Church... it was pretty awesome!).<br>
<br>
My five year old son has his own nearly complete set of armour, cloak, engineered helmet (okay, so it is part plastic, try to find a size XXXS helmet!), balteus, 1/2 of his Lorica (be done this weekend) Finished Scutum, and small sword. We call him "Minimus" (re: Maximus) or Caligula.<br>
<br>
Enjoy the board! Learn a lot every time I read it. Love the comdraderie of it! Seeing the names of the big guys beside mine is pretty cool.<br>
<br>
Any help I can provide, just ask!<br>
