Default Military Geek...?

Would it be considered possible to be a "military geek"? I have researched military ever since I was 10, and I get the feeling that I am wierding people out already XD

Yes, easily a geeky topic, like, knowing the difference between a b17 C and G of the top off your head, could be considered geeky, knowing the name of the head riveter, really geeky, going on vacation to get that riveters autograph........

Not exactly. I have mainly researched about what the infantry wear and shoot.

German infantry standard is to wear something called "Bundeswehr" over their Flecktarn BDU's and use a G36 with telescopic site and red dot sight built in.
