PFC Eritrean Defense Forces
The 5 years i spent there i was lucky enough to have my service in an office, during peace time. Eritrea has a history of guerrilla style warfare, not being afraid to travel for long distances and fighting beyond your means. We are afraid of no one really, stubborn as hell. We have beaten armies backed by the United States and the Soviet Union (including russian and cuban troops in the soviet case). We are also the only army in history to win a large scale tank battle using captured tanks.
That stubbornness does affect my play style. I will shotgun proto. I will take on heavies in a scout suit. I will go toe to toe with anybody in the game, so called 'big names'' mean nothing to me.
All that bravado aside, most of my family have been to war, and every family in Eritrea has lost someone to war. Everybody has got plenty of stories. Real life war, real life grief. Nothing really translates into DUST or any FPS. No matter how cool the next weapon is, or that incredible shot across the map,or how seriously you take FPS its not real, its just make believe.
DUST is awesome make believe though.

MA3 here, served in the US Navy for four years from 2009-2013. I enlisted right after graduating from HS back in 2008, and my first Duty Station was in Bahrain for 2 years. Long story short, I'm done being active and went into the reserves and cross-rated to HT(only available rate at that time) so I can go to school for physics and engineering full time. I started playing Dust back in January, right after discharge, was playing it everyday until school started (and I was a total badass during the betas and after the first few months of its release, I was the bauss of the battlefield MWAHAHAHAHAHA). Now I only play it once a month just to check in what's new, and sometimes I get rolfstomped badly that I have to eat ice cream to cool my burning rage (and I love sweets). And right now I have an upcoming test next week and I'm sitting here in the toilet shitting my ass off and procrastinating, instead of studying. |

As a paratrooper and an Army UAV Instructor. I love the gaming aspects of dust i do belive the combined warfare tactics exsist here even though they are sc fi ish. I would like to see some things change though what i dont understand is why passengers in dropships dont get a better camera view i think that if you were in charge of an operation it would be great to be able to give orders and drop orbitals with some kind of comand and control from the dropship like we do with helecopters.
also i think that the ability to change classes so quick takes away from the team dynamic in war you never have one guy who is a sniper then pulls out an ar clearing rooms then pulls out his MG for overwatch and then his stinger to shot down aircraft. My point being I think what you start the game with is what you should stay for the duration of the game. |

As far as the game goes, I find I can better get a handle on how to counter the enemy, and I know the use of suppressive fire to cover an advance. Beyond that, not much. |

Not a whole lot of experience that translates from the flight line to the battlefield, but I do think squad communications is something I picked up. The need for transparency and clarity in what is said, I feel, is the best weapon found in Dust. |

Active CF Army, NCO, Rifle Regiment. Been in for almost 13 years now.
I find time for EVE & DUST 514 during the long "hurry-up-and-wait" periods between postings and deployments. Right now the CF is on the down swing, what with politics and the lack of a war, so been finding more time for EVE during goochie tasks and posts.
In the army, I'm just a rifleman (first) and section commander with my platoon. In the EVE universe, I'm the Commanding Officer of the Providence Guard militia, Commandant of Fleet and Marines. Odd but sobering how a virtual fictional universe can demand more responsibility than an actual military career...
