[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, Jschager, I'm Kafziel. I noticed you were new, or at least that nobody has officially welcomed you yet, so let me be the first to say hello, give you some tips, and share a few useful links.

Here are some links you might find helpful:

I know they're a little boring (okay... a lot boring) but they may come in handy someday.

I give every newcomer two tips for adding content: cite references whenever possible, and try to set aside any personal points of view. Aside from that, just be patient and receptive, ask questions whenever you need to, and have a good time. If you want to experiment with coding or see how articles will look before you post them, you can use your own private sandbox at User:Jschager/sandbox for any tests you want to do. (The link will turn blue after you start the page.)

Now that you have your own user name, you can sign your comments on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically stamp your user name, the time, and the date. That will help other users reply to your posts. You may also want to fill out your user page to tell others a bit about yourself.

I hope this information is useful to you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for help. Good luck, and happy editing! Kafziel Talk 00:37, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

thanks for the welcome! i assume you've seen the amphibious figures i compiled for III MEF on Okinawa embarked on USN ships homeported at Sasebo. i thought it made the concept of a MEF infinitely more understandible to most civilians. they've since been deleted by someone so i'm kind of frustrated.

[edit] Over the beach capability

Hey. Quick note on the page you just created. I did a Google search of the term and I am sorry but I do not feel the information adds up to what you have put into the article. When you read all of the pertinent sources the term "Over the Beach capability" is almost solely used by the U.S. Navy's LCAC community to describe the LCAC ability to physically move through the beach farther onto land. It is a very small part of strategic power projection or amphibious assault or any other of the overarching concepts the article suggests. From someone who considers himself pretty well read on modern military terms it appears that you have essentially created a new military concept. If you could show me some sources that I missed to further explain the concept I would appreciate it. If not I am going to recommend the article for deletion. I don't want to discourage you from future editing as this is the first page you have truly created but I don't think the info holds up. Maybe I'm wrong. Cheers.--Looper5920 09:52, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
