Hi paragales,

would you not like to introduce yourself to all other members? It is compulsory.... Please follow the link is the previous post.

I have searched a bit and it seems to be a Brazilian regiment... the name Yuka actually means Matar (to kill) in a brazialian indigenous language called caiabi (Kayabi/Kayabí/Kajabi). I also get that feeling from the palm tree in the insignia.

Don't give up hope as I know we also have brazilian members
