    Did not know where to put this. I cannot use the gallery feature. When I try it says it "sorry you do not have permission". Is there some post count that has to be reached? Also is there a link to the forum rules?

    Thanks

    Welcome to the Forum, Rudi.

    Sorry for not welcoming you sooner. Life has been keeping me busy these days.

    I'm not sure if it is still the case, but I think the gallery is not yet functional. There is a size limit on posting images directly to a thread. However, you can also use an image/photo hosting website to get around the size limit.

    Greetings from another newbie!

    I was also in the US Army, although only 8 years. 11C, 13F, 26L.

    You were born in Stuttgart? Cool! I've been there. Can you still speak German? Or did you leave Germany too early to have learned it?

    Thanks all for the welcome.

    Near Stuttgart, yes but I am an illiterate German. I can barely read it. In our house when we were kids we spoke English and my parents spoke a combo. This still happens and gets my wife and kids confused when they use German and English.
