Our Veteran's Day StackUp.Org fundraising campaign is now live! Go to https://7cav.us/stackup for more info!!

So, I've been asked why we're so interested in doing this. We've been a consistently large-sized unit over the past 8 or 9 years or so - 300 members or so active. In a large unit you don't get to meet everyone and as you can imagine, you get a wide variety of people with different backgrounds and from different parts of the world. Over the years, we've had more than a couple instances occur where someone would come online and would be in crisis. People that unbeknownst to most have been struggling with mental health issues. We've had several members take their own lives over the years and we finally decided that a community like ours needed some resources to be able to help our members out when they are in crisis. Some research and reaching out lead me to the folks at https://stackup.org. The 24/7/365 crisis counselors available via their discord server has been invaluable to us even in the short time since we connected with them. We promote their website, discord and services on our site so that people are aware the resource is there. For people who are unaware and come online say in TS and are in crisis, we are able to connect them quickly and easily to their discord server and a counselor. This has already proven useful to us. So, our fundraising challenge is a bit about doing our part to give back to an awesome charity and part raising awareness for the gaming community at large, because I cannot believe that there aren't other units out there that don't face the same issues from time to time. https://stackup.org - Their primary focus is veterans and serving members, but they also deal with civilians. The only limitation on the counseling service is you must be an adult - you cannot be a minor. For more info on the fundraising challenge - https://7cav.us/stackup Thanks all.

Hi all, My name is Jon and I am from an Arma 3/Squad/Post-Scriptum unit called 7th Cavalry Gaming - https://7cav.us . In October we will be running a fundraising challenge with other milsim units to raise funds for a charity called https://stackup.org . StackUp.Org is a US based charity that has several programs: 1. Send games and gaming equipment to deployed troops of NATO countries for use in their downtime. 2. They take deserving veterans on once in a lifetime trips to conferences such as E3, ComiCon and others. 3. They have volunteer support groups, primarily in the US, which serve as focal points for support and volunteer work. 4. They have a 24/7/365 crisis counselling service they offer via their discord which is available to anyone that is an adult. Essentially, they believe that gaming can have a positive impact on mental health. Their motto is Veterans are our Mission. Gaming is our Passion. We at the 7th Cavalry are a unit that has been in existence since 2002. We have over 300 active members. The fundraising challenge is a way for us to extend awareness of StackUp.Org to the community, to raise more funds overall for the charity and to motivate our members to raise more money. The idea is that each unit would pledge a minimum of $1,000 USD to the challenge, or $20 per active members, whichever is more. So our team goal would be roughly $6,000 USD. My personal goal is to find enough units to pledge a total of $50,000 USD to the campaign. We will collect pledges from our members starting 11 SEP 18 and ending 11 OCT 18. From 11 OCT 18 until 11 NOV 18 teams and team members will make their donations using the Tiltify site which tracks donations and teams and forwards the donations to the charity. On 10 NOV 18 at 11am eastern, our unit will run a 24 hours of gaming event that will run until 11am eastern on 11 NOV 18. This will signal the end of the fundraising challenge.

We are having an issue right now with both Adv Rappelling and Urban we believe is related to use in conjunction with Enhanced Movement. When using on a wall, using the sprint key breaks the rope. When using on a wall or out of a helicopter, when someone else appears to 'clip' you, your rope breaks. Lovely mod tho!
