CURRENT REENACTING IMPRESSIONS (IF ANY):_______________________________
I understand that I have joined a group of like-minded individuals who reenact the
American Civil War and other periods of U.S. history to honor the memory of those who served,
Lest We Forget. Our purpose is to educate the public about our past and to enjoy ourselves.
I understand that this is a HOBBY we do in our spare time for fun and not as a political forum, a paramilitary organization or an ego trip for “would be Napoleons”!
I have read/will read and understand all Company General Orders that governs the actions of the company members.
I understand that safety comes first in all activities! Black powder is a hazardous substance and if care is not taken injuries may occur. In our unit, we look out for each other and take care of each other. I also understand that since accidents can happen and I have adequate medical and liability insurance to take care of myself.
I understand that we portray Civil War Confederate and Federal infantry companies,
and I will learn to fulfill that role and obtain the proper uniforms and equipment to do so within one year.
