Bolt Action US Airborne 2nd Infantry Section

In my last post I showed my 1st Infantry section of one of the companies from the 101st Airborne Division. In this follow up, I'm going to review my 2nd Infantry section.
These figures were all made from the plastic sprues in the Band of Brothers starter boxed set and they offer a very wide variety of poses, equipment and weapon options.
 Like my 1st Section, this section is made up of 10 men, but the weapon options have been changed. At the far left is my NCO, armed with a Thompson Sub-Machine Gun. The two privates next to him are also armed with Thompson SMGs. The two privates at the far right are armed with M1 Garand Rifles.
Another four privates are armed with a combination of M1 Garand Rifles and M1 Carbines. At the far right is a Browning Automatic Rifle armed private. Although only on their TO&E as an optional weapon, paratroopers appreciated the heavier firepower a single soldier could lay down with the BAR.
I have omitted the choice to include an LMG team and added the BAR gunner instead. Of course I could have included both but I chose not to.

  5. My name is Olisa Blessing, I am so happy. I never believe I will be this happy again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my employment because of this deadly illness called Herpes virus (HSV).
    I never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their current doctor's report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease.
    I was so depressed to the extent that I started thinking of suicide. I explained my situation to an older friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a problem half solved.
    She felt so pity for me that she referred me to Dr. Utu Herbal Cure, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the medication from him and was cured for real.
    I went back to my work a month later with a HERPES NEGATIVE test result. They were astonished and curious when they saw my HSV NEGATIVE result so they carried out another test on me in the company lab to be very sure and they found out I am indeed a HERPES VIRUS FREED PERSON.
    Finally, the initial HERPES POSITIVE result was replaced with a new HERPES NEGATIVE test result, and my position was given back to me with an apology letter and a salary increase.
    Beware of impersonators,
    Dr. Utu can only be reached at:
