I introduced RvB to the guys in my platoon, and they frigging love it.

My question is, how do you keep track of the mission progression in the campaign? I just completed the 1st of 30 in the A-10 download and the mission isn't listed in my pilot profile. Anyone know?

Hmmm, "It was unfortunate that his teeth hit my carotid artery."...... Well, that is damn unfortunate. That's why I don't play with big kitties.

LOL! Hurricane JJ, DYNOMITE!

Well, if they want some equal representation in names.... How about Hurricane Otis?

That was great! We even had the battle captain laughing his ass off!

Hey guys, Zagnut coming to you live from Ft. Irwin; my new home out here in the sunny, miserable, hot Mojave desert here in CA. There is nothing; NO-THING out here, and the nearest town is 40 miles away. Anyways, we're doing 2 week training rotations, fighting against other units from all over the U.S. to prepare them for deployment to Iraq. I'll check back when I can, and I'll hopefully be getting a digital camera soon, so I'll take some cool pics. Laters all!

Thanks bud, it's now 0017 hrs and I'm working in the Tactical Operations Command right now and we're monitoring battles in different cities. ...Good stuff! more to come later

I'd hit it!

it's afraid...IT'S AFRAID!!! btw- is it just me or does the mouth of the brain bug look like a big...oh nevermind.

LOL- hell yeah! baby nukes all the way!!! :D

Beer- That's the problem, we're not paid like professionals. There are some perks, don't get me wrong, but it amounts to a sales tax break at the PX, a few discounts here and there, and a couple extra hundred dollars per month for cost of living. I've been back on active duty now since May, and wow, nothing changes. Still long hours and hard work. Belive me, I know it pays off in some ways, but I can see why most people don't choose the service as a career or for just a couple of years. I do agree though, that some form of the draft should be put into place, and somehow alleviate those who are so worn out, that they are going to crack.

I saw a blurb about the game on pc gamer mag a few months back. The trailers looks like the devs have made hella headway. - I'd buy it! BTW- saw SST2, not bad for a low budget flick, but the lightguns were pretty cheesy tho.

It's like when you sign the dotted line- THEY OWN YOU NOW!!! lol Yeah, it is a back-door draft, but that's always a possibility. They sign, they have to fight when called..... so simple.

Beer nuts maybe?? Only if they are honey rosted!

I....ENVY.....YOU!

The fiance and I are always in that little debate about which sex is superior. In fact, I think that the female is FAR more supeior thatn the male (in my house anyway). I think that she is so superoir, that I can't really make dinner as well as she can, or walk the dog as well as she can, or clean the house as well as she can. I'm really not good at shopping either; like finding things on sale or budgeting my money for beer and things like that. She's so friggin' good at everything, that she cooks, cleans, and walks the dog with the best!

Good ones guys, now I have one for ya, A Soldier, Sailor, Airman and Marine got into an argument as > to which > service was "the best."

I'm just gonna be sensitive about it, and not say anything.... LOL!!! (Still voting for Kerry- sorry guys)

Lex, Take Chief's, SDirickson's, Scout's, and Firehawkordy's advice, check twice before you decide on the path of the military (in general). I understand you want to be with your brother; actually, my brother is 18 and in the DEP program. He would've left last June, but he had to lose around 10 pounds to make weight even though he was a bench-pressing fool. Long story short, his recruiter put him on a laxitave, PT, and nill-water diet before he was supposed to ship, and at the time I infomed him about how some of these recruiters work. Lest to say, he ripped a muscle in his abdominal area and was withheld until September. Now, I understand that you have had problems in the past. Unfortunatley the U.S. Gov. doesn't make certain exceptions for those who enlist and lie. I know that you want to be closer to your brother, but beware of the unnecessary trouble that you could cause for yourself and your family. To be upfront with you. I got a DWI from 1999, and now I'm going up for a security clearence. I know since this is my 3rd enlistment, that I WILL have trouble securing it. I know for a fact that this will impede my military career, but I'm still going for it because I was honest about what happened. LEX, you need to be honest with your recruiter and expect and honest answer back. I can't express that enough! If he doesn't give you an honest answer, which you deserve, then he shouldn't be in that MOS. The first thing about being in the military requires rules. These rules are always applied and are far more harsh than the civilain side, and it's not worth the gamble. My advice to you is to consult with a new recruiter, even over the phone is OK, just be honest and make sure that you have that person's full attention. After that, you decide what is right for you. Just make sure that you are honest with that person..... Seriously, it can come back to haunt you. I wish you luck on your endeavor, I've been there, and it's not easy. Yet, if you have the determination and the right mindset, you WILL always succeed! Good luck Lex, send me a PM if you need more info.

Nesher, Congratulations on your becoming a soldier, I'm sure this is an exciting time for you! I know that you will remember your training, and always look out for your squadmates, you may save a life one day (or vice versa). Good luck bro!

I, state your name, swear... uuhhhh... high-and-tight... cammies... uhh... ugh... Air Force women... OORAH! So help me Corps. ______________________________ Thumb Print Date (Y/N) LOL! Brings back memories of being fresh out of the Army, wanting a change, and asking the officer at my oath if it was too late to re-neg before handing in my (re?) enlistment docs..... And ya know what? I never regretted it; that's why I went back into the Army!

<S> Pcpilot! we wouldn't want it any other way. :P

I actually set the lighting texures up to a reasonable rate now! I went into the Doom3 config file in the base/doom3 dir. You have to scrool down (about halfway), but you can adjust the ambient lighting as well as gamma. I turned mine up to 3 and took the brightness down to 25%, and it worked out beautifully. It's still dark in the game, but you're not always having to switch b/t the flashlight and gun all the time.

Got a website that's way better than fileplanet; you just d/l and don't have to worry about logging in or anyhting: http://doom3.filefront.com/ Has all the same stuff that fileplanet has, just less crap to sift thru!
