New members introductions - New members Introduce yourselves

After lurking for months, i decide it's time to register and pay proper respect to the forum

I am from Indonesia, I am ethnic Chinese, 25 y/o (ps : birthday is fake).
Always been fascinated with military stuffs (goes on artillery firing shells) and also defense/geopolitics issues

I want to thank the members and leaders here for posting up to date and accurate information on china defense, matters that are simply state secret before the age of internet

Please let me lurk further more as my posts will simply be a waste of bandwidth to the forum

My respect

Welcome to SDF!!

Hi, I'm Mike and I have been reading this forum for a while now. No background in the military, though I have taken interest in some of the analysis/discussion here and on other similar forums. I am an university student studying economics. Hopefully I can contribute to the discussion in matters other than just military =P

Hello everyone! I am born in China but moved to the United States when I was 9 and I am currently a sophomore studying at the University of Texas at Austin. I am majoring in Electrical Engineering and I have developed an interest in jet planes, especially fighters. My parents used to work at Nanhang (an University focused on Aerospace) in Nanjing, China and I've been exposed to all sorts of Chinese aviation equipments (there was a disassembled air to air missile on display at the play where my mom used to work!) at an early age. I am fluent in Chinese (mandarin) and I am hoping to learn more about defence technology on the forum.

Jow Lim's my name. I'm Australian, but was born in Malaysia. Just someone who is interested in the development of the PLA since I saw the documentary "Great Wall of Iron"; shortly before the Tienanmen Incident (all those years ago).

Hi!

Hi all.

I've been lurking for about 6 months in this forum. Finally registered today to share my views on the Thai crisis. Did a long post on that topic, but it was lost. Now got to redo the post again....

Anyway, I'm from Singapore. And I'm interested in current affairs and military affairs (particularly naval and air force issues). I have some military experience (as most male Singaporans do too).

Looking forward to joining in the great discussions on this board.

Thank you bd popeye.

I'm not too concerned about the moderation. Was aware that there will be such a safeguard, so its cool.

Hi everyone, my name is Steve, a long time lurker that just decide to join up today. I'm just an amateur wannabe historian, and my grandfather served in the Chinese 180th Division in Korea during the disaster at the Soyang River (Chinese Spring Offensive). I just do a lot of research on PLA (PVA) during the 1950s, so expect me to pop in once in a while in the military history forum.

Greetings to all.

I'm a 62 year-old instructor of English to university sophomores in China who also translates from French and Swedish to English. Translated books and documents cover a wide range of specializations from Ancient Roman history to aeronautical bolt standards, anesthesiology, social networking, public policy, linear pipe tensioners and Michelangelo.

Am basically here out of a childhood interest in airplanes plus deeper interest in China because of my presence here.

For reference purposes, I was forums administrator for several years at Translators Cafe, the second largest website for the translation community; a more complete profile is available at;
