Maybe that's why I'm here. Not too many people like to pretend to be hanging around in submarines. My mates think it's all a bit odd, so does my wife. But like I said to her, I have no interest in looking at jockeys wearing women's underwear on the internet, so you do that and I'll do this.

I like your bio Knipper ... I'll try to find mine back there somewhere. Your about as strange as I am, but you fit my signature perfectly ...

Right on gee. I saw it earlier, but I read so many, I can't remember which one it was. I'll check it out tho.

Just found your signature. How true, how true

not much to say about me. Im 18, spent a bit of time in the canadian military basically basic training and soldiers qualification before i left, then i got arrested and put on probation which slowed the partying wayyyyy down, which i have no complaints about. I have always been interested in submarines, U-Boats in particular, for as long as i can remember. I dont even remember how i found this site, but im here so thats all that matters

I'm the last person that anyone would imagine playing a subsim, since i am a teenager that partys and wears all the baggy clothes and whatnot but i've managed to get a few people to say that it looks like a cool game. I have a great sense of humour and im very easy going. I'm not the the smartest in the school department so im going to try to get a welding apprenticeship sometime in the near future, but don't know if that will be my lifelong career choice yet. Thats pretty much all i can think of right now.

Hi Marriot. All I've learned in 56 years is you don't know what's around the corner, you just have to make the effort, as you are doing, to find out what you're good at. Took me a long time and no small amount of pain to find that out

Good luck mate

You sound like a sensible level headed type who is not afraid to admit they have made mistakes and have no problem in facing up to the consequences of said actions.

I wish you good luck young man

Kapitan_Phillips · 01-30-08, 10:19 AM

Same here, Mariott. I wish you the best of luck!

Biggles · 01-30-08, 10:50 AM

Dear me, Kipper, I was wondering how a lad on SubSim could know about the orgins of my name, but it appears you are old(ish). Compared with me, who are 17 at least...you have much to learn boys like me!

Hanomag · 01-31-08, 05:39 PM

Hi everybody!

Why didnt anyone tell me there were forums outside of SHIII? Sheesh! :hmm:

Anyways quick Bio.

Im 40 y/o - Born in NYC NY - spent 4 yrs as US Army Paratrooper - 2 Yrs as an Immigrations Officer - 14 yrs as a NYC Police Officer til an injury forced me out.

I found this site after reading an article in PC Gamer about GWX. And Im glad I did!

Ok on with the pix....
I was on leave from the 1/508th Lt Airborne (Panama) visiting a friend of mine In connecticut. Im on the right. my friend on the left was assigned to the 75th rangers. We had enlisted together.

Next picture is of me at work in 2000-ish. Yes its a duncan donuts. I was just there for coffee, I swear! The lil blue guy is from stick death.com. I had him for a part of his USA tour.

For a more current pic you need only scrutinize my avatar. It was taken several weeks ago, its just me trying to look like a Kaluen.

So thanks for the opportunity to post my pix..and hope to see some of you folks at the Oct 2008 get together in The Republic of Texas.

Dont suppose you could cut me some slack at immigration, could you?

Nice to meet you, Hanomag

Hanomag · 01-31-08, 06:01 PM

Kpt Phillips,

LOL :rotfl:

Wish I could but its not even the same entity anymore since I left. I was with INS 92-94 after 9/11 it got a complete overhaul.

I went through a phase of reading Biggles books when I was about 8 years old (1959-ish) Real stiff upper lip, Boys Own stuff, Roger, Wilco, Pip-Pip and all that. I think he had a sidekick called Algy, if I remember rightly. Those stories are part of another age (thank goodness) but I still think it's a pretty cool name.

Oh and by the way....the name is Knipper, as in 'The Knnights Who Say Knnnni!

No, Definitely Knnni. They only said EkkiEkkiPootangZooomboingoin after they got the first shrubbery. I remember distinctly because I saw the movie at The Classic in Silbury Hill, the cinema with the self-draining car park....
