• Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.

    The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.

    The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.

     

    One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/

    There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.

    Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
    Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.

     

    Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.

    All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

     

    If anyone has difficulties logging in please contact me at sixthvanguard@gmail.com.

     

    Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

101st Questions

Marksman
The 101st Airborne Division had helmet markings on their helmets signifying units. I was wondering did any of them say like during D-Day camouflage them with paint or camouflaged helmet covers or parachutes? Are there any photos or evidence of this being done if they did? I was wondering because there is evidence 82nd doing this.
 
yes i was just at gavin hall the other day (divisional HQ at bragg) and they had a helmet with markings and helmet cover so if the 82nd did i wold also assume that the 101 did too. something like that is a very personal thing that a individual(s) would do as extra. i wold say ur good for helmet netting, now as for painting the only paratroops i know painting thier helmets were the pathfinders and they did not have regimental markings as they were a divison unit. hoped this helped
