Mr.16 gauge,

You ask good questions and there are lots of answers. I have been a Bucktail for the last 8 years and am a corporal. I am in a local Company, "E", and we go to parades and re-enactments, including Gettysburg. It is not "picky" as interested folks are rewarded and you can pretty much name your rank. Now and then at a function, we do have a few upstart types and they get sorted out quick, fast and right away and then we have a pretty food function.

I admire your medical calling and I think you should be a Surgeon (Captain) with proper insignia of rank. Most re-enactors are fun-loving folks and will do you just fine. The rare "hump" is quickly sorted out as such and we go on with a good re-enactment anyway.

Adam
