Good day to you all-
Yes, I have been lurking your TS2 and Public ArmA2 server for a while. So as 2009 draws to a close, I am now compelled to take keyboard in hand to give you a look inside.
I began gaming 10+ years ago with GHOST RECON. It was a fascinating game until I discovered how to do multi-player. Then I was hooked. I saw the possibilities of accompliashing objectives and tasks with like-minded individuals.
The first group I joined was a co-op group, but the leader seemed more interested in making money.
A few of us continued on and another group was formed. This was dashed when a language barrier became an impediment to good gaming.
Again we start...a few core members playing GHOST RECON and using the lessons learned from the two previous crashes.
As a member of Staff at first, and then the Officer in Charge I had the opportunity to help make our group stand out amongst a number of other similar, well-managed groups. We saw growth, openess and opportunity playing outside our own server with other groups...ALPHA SQUAD, MEDIC STATION, HOUSE OF RECON, 9 MM, SPECIAL DETACHMENT and more. The tournaments tested our teamplay and imaginations. We did pretty well with a number of top ten finishes. I made friends from around the world, and even had 2 social events featuring meals and fun in the Netherlands in 2007 and at my home hosting fellow gamers from other countries in 2008. Good times!
After a 3-year tenure I stepped down, and new leadership has assumed command. A change in the politics has given me the opportunity to look elsewhere for my gaming enjoyment.
I thank you now for your patience and hospitality.
I am 50 years of age, and due to comapny mismanagement am presently unemployed. I am married to my second wife of 20 years here in St. Petersburg, FL., USA. I have one son of 26 years.
There are two BMW motorcycles in my garage, a '99 RT1100 RT-P (police special) and an '00 K1200 LT. I also enjoy cycling, reading and especially the world of beer.
See you in game...
