If you are at all interested in military history,this is as close as you are likely to come to actually being there.Wearing the clothes,using the equipment, eating the food is all part of an experience that no book or film will even come close to capturing. As an added bonus, you gain a personal, soldiers-view from a perspective that would otherwise be very hard to convey. And it seems. We learn things in spite of ourselves!

Last, you will meet a lot of people with similar (weird!) interests and will make a number of lifelong friendships! Good people!!! Good times! Good Knowledge!
