What do YOU, the gamer, want?

[CSM S. Ghering-1CD- 0]

Good Afternoon Gamers;

Seldom do I personally recruit or visit the forums. Today I felt you should see things from a new point of view.

I have been in gaming in one means or another, since 1983. I have seen units come and go, started my own, left them, started more. Etc etc etc. From virtual airlines to combat realsim teams. At 36, I can say I am past the point of experienced gamer.

So today I am going to bring you up to speed on a unit that while surely not the oldest, or biggest, IS WITH NO DISPUTE, one of the few run by those who care about honor, honestly, teamwork, and fairplay, more than how big they are, how cool their website is, or how many servers they have.

Am I biased? Sure. I am not only a member, but one of the senior NCO's of the unit. However, being a veteran of the real 1st Cavalry Division, and a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom II, I can tell you we DO bring things to the gaming realism table that alot of these "hocus pocus, fly by night" teams and clans can only dream up and run to mommy to buy em.

Is the 1st Cavalry Division for you? That depends on "what you, the gamer, want". If you are looking for and/or fit the following, you may have a future with the "First Team"

1. Are 15yrs of age or older

2. Can work in a realism unit (taking orders and instructions from those appointed above you).

3. Can be honest and energetic

4. Attend at least 6hrs per week (not per day like others, we know you have a real life).

5. Have ArmA, COD4, or BF2/PR installed and funtional.

What we don't want:

1. Liars, racists, hackers (bot babies), whiners, etc

If you want realism TAUGHT by people who were there, in combat, and not in some base as a pencil pusher his/her entire career, then come find me. My commander and my own Command Sgt Major, are also veterans of the U.S. Army, 1st Cavalry Division. We have seen it and lived it. Now we invite you to come see what military life is like. We get as close to it as you can, without the 0630 PT formations.

So in short, come check it out, or you may contact me personally via XFire at the ID SGTJADEN. Or visit us at www.1st-cav.us . There are others, but NO ONE will give you what the 1st Team can. Don't believe me? Come talk to me and find out why

I like how you guys have more "officers" and "SNCOs" than you do "enlisted" members. That's always a good sign.

It's always nice to see people who claim to be soldiers in RL, but start their introductions by bashing other people and other teams while trying to recruit. If you're here trying to do honor to your unit, you fail miserably. I hope they didn't teach that to you in the 1st cav.

I also have to point out that even if you were in the action for real, it doesn't make you a good player in the intarwebz, nor a good leader for that matter. We all saw how it went down with USM, I hope we don't get a re-run.

But if you get people recruited, good, I wish you happy hunting.
