I have been the Project Leader for the PC Game Mod called Point of Existence which ran on top of Battlefield: Vietnam and Battlefield: 2 and as the head Military Advisor originally to the team. My call sign back then was =LORD=Hathcock. ... Used to be involved with a competitive gaming clan that played the Mod Desert Combat and was part of the leadership team for them.

Being in the military I believe has given me an edge on some as it pertains to teamwork, getting people organized, communicating and teaching others "how" to communicate when in battle....when a team mate states they have a tank near them...is it friendly or hostile? Location of said tank, and direction it's going, type and status of that tank...etc. I know I'm not the best when it comes to being a top kill/death ratio player but most of the matches that I do play with a squad of players I will rank in the top 3 because of getting points for being a team player...being a Logistics player providing healing, ammo, drop links, etc...

DS 10 Will Ring For Booze 976	Posted - 2013.09.28 20:03:00 - [1] - Quote Believe it or not, I'm in the US Army. STORY TIME! My parents met in the Army back in the 80s, both serving as Commo specialists. My paternal grandfather served in Vietnam in the Army and was blown up a little bit while on a tank. My maternal grandfather joined the Army before Vietnam and got out before the Vietnam War began. He was a medic. My little brother joined the Army in the spring of 2010. That was enough to push me to join. I went to basic training in November of 2010 to become a Human Resources Specialist (terrible MOS by the way). After training, I was sent to Virginia. I spent a couple months here learning about the normal Army life and then began training for a deployment to Kuwait. During that time, I tore my labrum, rotator cuff, and biceps tendon in my left shoulder. Didn't get to deploy :( Had surgery in April of 2012 to repair my shoulder. As I was just beginning to get somewhere with my recovery, I started having severe migraines. Like, someone took a hammer and bashed at my temples repeatedly. I missed yet another deployment due to these migraines. I still suffer from them a couple times a week and will be separating from the military in early 2014. Although I have a pretty jacked up military experience, the structure and discipline are two things I hope I carry on with me for the rest of my life. Disorderliness, disorganization, and lack of discipline drive me insane. With that comes my need to take control of these situations. I like to think I'm a natural leader, and the military has definitely reinforced that. Training-wise, video games and actual military movements are too different to implement effectively right now. I think with some games, military knowledge is beneficial, but Dust isn't one of those games.
