Gentlemen <salute>
Although a member for a bit longer than Blake, I'm a newbie with roughly 2 1/2 years as a member. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with the club, enough so that I volunteered to serve as a division commander. Commanding "Gator Alley" has allowed me to meet online what are now dear friends to me. I did have the pleasure of meeting one of my brigade commanders in person about two months ago (Chris Newcomb), who was on a cross-country motorcycle tour of the country after his graduation from the Virginia Military Institute.
Early influences would be Nick Kunz, John Newton, and Roger Hulinsky. Nick for allowing me to implement an idea I had that is now the "Lieutenant's Cup", John for his never-ending pursuit to see that the VMI Staff was as current as possible with everything in the way of spreadsheets, and Roger for his support when I was a new division commander. Roger retired about 1 1/2 years ago, and is missed. Nick and John I haven't communicated with in some time, and now that I think about it am sorry for this. All are great gentlemen! John and Nick should have shrines erected in their honor lol.
Basically, the ACWGC has been a blast! I don't have the time availabe as before, however nothing is more exciting than seeing a battle file in my inbox. I wouldn't trade a minute of the last 2 1/2 years, except for maybe a couple of embarrassing defeats lol.
