Colonel Cooley is the man, you will absolutely love this guy. The cavalry is rather small at this time but has great potential. I first started off with 1st VA CAV, made my way to 1st LT. and grew it into a powerhouse. Since then I was promoted to captain and got to start my own company and things went a little sour for the 1st VA but, the history of the 1st is bar none and I believe it will grow again into the best cavalry unit in the game. In fact joining a smaller but organized unit early on is advantageous to you due to the fact that you can rise through the ranks quickly and perhaps someday take a real leadership role in the company. Also when joining take into consideration you are part of Ewell's Division which consists of multiple companies that all train and fight together and keep in contact. Its a friendly group of guys who all have great personalities. (Sunday 4pm EST Ewell's Division Drill & promotions, 5pm EU event, 8pm NA event lead by yours truly Also on Monday at 5pm EST you can always join my 6th Louisiana Tigers, 1st GA (B), 42nd VA Drill and skirmish, Cooley is generally always with us at this time as well. Great group of very active guys and a ton of fun!
