So you think you've got what it takes to be Airborne? Well if you're 16
or older, have no felony record, do not use controlled substances, can
walk a mile and/or run 25 yards with 10 to 20 pounds of gear without
getting winded, and have an interest in Military History, the Screaming
Eagles is the group for you.
We are currently looking for new members to fall in with us. The
group does 8- 12 events a year that include living histories, parades,
public battles, and tactical engagements throughout the southeast United
States. Most of our events are based in Florida, but we do attend
events in Georgia and Alabama.
Authenticity is key to our group and we strive the utmost to portray
members of the US Airborne as accurately as possible both in uniform,
military execution, and attitude. All members are expected to put
together a basic uniform and gear ensemble representing the paratrooper
uniform of Operation Overlord, aka D-Day Normandy (see our
Requirements page for Basic Impression requirements). Reproduction
uniforms and equipment can be purchased from a number of online sources
(see our Links page for suggested vendors) and trade publications. We
strongly suggest the use of new manufactured reproduction items but if
one desires, vintage pieces may be used if in good working order.
If this sounds like your kind of thing check out the
membership requirements and send an email to the unit adjutant and
they will fill you in with all the details. This is a hobby first and
foremost so we do understand family and work obligations, all we expect
is for you to do your best and have a good time while doing it. We look
forward to hearing from you!
CURRAHEE!
Troy Whigham Adjutant
