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. |

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...

USN I was a lazy OS  OS3 at your service -Gather, Process, Display, Eliminate, Disseminate
Got stationed on the USS Port Royal back in 07. Pearl Harbor HI is Historic and I was there for my First duty
I worked radar, comms, and IFF
I pushed buttons a lot so i can work a PS3 controller for real.
Communication, following orders and reading a situation is probably what I got from the service.I'm used to looking at screens all day and so the radar, overview map and HUD i notice things much faster than most and I know when to flank and get the hell out of dodge when a situation turns bad. Unfortunately my abilities don't help randoms as they don't listen. I sometimes tell my corps mate when something is being hacked but even when i tell them they don't know what's happening until it turns sides and then they freak out like....WHEN THEY DO THAT!? ( I usually facepalm when i say "i told you A was being hacked like a minute ago yo" 
Gaming wise im halfway decent been playing games since i was 6 back in the SNES days. I still get beaten though but planning is probably part of every Military gamers skill-set |

I'm a 91B (Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic) and an NCO in the ORNG. I'd have to say the biggest advantage I've seen is knowing the difference between a Warrior and a Soldier (no disrespect to my brothers and sisters in the Air Force, Navy and Marines, I'm talking about us all).
A Warrior looks out for himself and looks to get as many kills as possible, a Soldier looks out for the team and tries to ensure a win, even if that means sacrificing or letting your K/D suffer. I play with many people in, or formerly in, the military and we all know the importance of communication and proper back-up. If you don't play as a squad you may get kills, but not necessarily wins! |

I was in the United States Army from 2001 to 2006 and spent time in SWA during that service period.
I just want to thank everyone in here, regardless of nationality, for their service. If the other nations are anything like ours, the pay is lousy and the job can be difficult. |

im ex british army,
infantry,
spent half my career on foot and the other half mechanised driving all sort of tracked vehicles within multiple different roles. so pretty much fit right into dust. tbh though i don't find dust anywhere near complicated enough to benefit from most of my military experience in its current state but i do see allot of potential.
i was in the anti tank platoon of my unit for a while and was using milan at the time which is a wire guided av weapon for those that don't know. also used plenty of LAW's which is a single shot av missile. these have no comparison to dust variants but some of the tactics still work.
for the most part i was just a lowly squad member doing my part. rifles,av,grenades,underslung grenade launchers, mortars etc etc. jack of most trades.
i did a few tours and too many long training exercises in many countries.
pay was pretty bad so not much different than dust. least you have something right lol
other than the pay there is still a long way to go.

We had quite a few of us all banding together, TOTAL noobs, trying to be "mercenaries" in the ruthless world of EVE Online. There was Fightback, Shhaazam, Lowlanderbean, Rakkinechew, Dr1ftw00d, 8inferno8, P-rez. We ended up recruiting a few guys we met online that happened to be in the Army, Tiwatz, Reg'nar, etc etc, and we would bust each other's balls about the branches we were in.
I still have a ton of former and active duty guys in my corporation, along with some of those silver-spoon college-kiddy bastards, but sadly most of my old unit buddies have moved on to other games or otherwise dropped off my radar. It's always awesome to recruit a guy in Dust that has some form of military background, even if I sort of find myself rapidly becoming the old dude that used to be in and can't entirely relate to the active duty guys in their first enlistment anymore lol.
Hehe Burseg, Yeah I am former Navy OSC (SW) served 11 years and got out in 97. |

What was your rate Mintchip? Or were you one of those Os we love so much. i hate that word almost as much as the lazy Os we had. ossn to osc 8 year... worse chief on board and made fun of by everyone.
That's awesome, you beat me. I went from SA apprentice program to OSC in 9.2 years. Same here, jealous sons of !@#$ cause I was young, stacked with awards and well, good looking. hehe.
Served 7 years in Pearl Harbor, 1 year in Japan and 3 years as a recruiter.

To answer your question I am in the U.S. Army 82nd Airborne division 2/505 PIR 3rd BCT. I'm a paratrooper 11B (infantryman) and I must say being light infantry and knowing battle drills along with deployments helps in some scenarios like bounding really helps being a heavy. Flanking enemy tanks with forge guns while your team distracts it and all other training I've had helps but, it's still a game because in all actuality these guns should be doing far more damage. Especially the hmg its a minigun for Christ's sake come on. Also it just takes talent and skills 75% of time. |

I couldn't express my appreciation for there service and they help out in the game a lot more than one would be able to expect together we have developed new strafing techniques along with many other helpful hints along the way.
