Badge "Excellent Machingunner".

[Kirchgoens]

I picked up a couple Russian language badge books from Igor's website. They are good for pictures, and I can do some Russian. According to Uncle Sugar, I have a 2/2+ in Russian, but I believe that esteemed relative's faith in me is misplaced. Still, I can muddle my way through a decent amount given time, a dictionary, and if I peeyoo choot choot vodkoo. :-) Check out what references he has for sale - they have been good books for me, albeit not cheap. I let myself buy a good reference about once every month or two. At least you can get a good idea of some of the variety out there in badges.

Maybe on a future trip through Moscow, I'll be better prepared to hit the big House of Books and get a couple more.
