Hello all!
Callsign: Patroels, checking in
35 years old, and (proud) member of Denmarks Homeguard since '91. Qualified/educated to function as a squad leader, but only have the rank of Private. In Denmarks Homeguard (Hjemmevaernet/HJV) it is not possible to hold rank if there's no need for the person to function as such! In other words, I have NOT been busted downwards...
I'm allowed to wear the rank of sergeant but prefer to call it squad leader, out of respect for those in our armed forces with the 18 months education as real sergeants. Nowadays I'm in supplies: You scream for something? I'll go get it!
I've never been abroad while wearing uniform, so I have no experience whatsoever with real combat... I think that's quite positive, actually
As uniformed persons are most, I also have an area of "expertice": Load carrying equipment. I even design and sew some of it myself, allthough not of industrial quality... But I'm getting there!
I look forward to reading and learning a lot from you gent's (and ladies?). And who knows, I might just make a post here and there ;D
Regards
Patroels
