First and foremost - we are NOT the real 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit. We are a gaming Unit with a very high view of the Corps, and a very high view on realistic gaming. We gather and play to honor the real Leathernecks who serve. The real 15thMEU can be found at the following site: http://www.usmc.mil/15thmeu/ We play Armed Assault: Combat Operations in all of its forms. Armed Assault is a great combat simulator that is very conducive to the environment we've set here. Armed Assault information can be found at http://www.armedassault.com That being said, we do share more than a few similarities. We're simulating a Marine environment in a virtual world - same ranks, same ideals, same values. Hell, even a few of our members are Marines or are planning to serve in the Corps. They bring their experience to the table to further enhance our Unit. We uphold the Corps Values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Honor: Marines are held to a high standard of the utmost ethical and moral behavior. Honesty and honor are held in great regard. Respect for others is essential. You are expected to act responsibly in a mature and dependable manner. Every Marine is accountable for his or her actions and meeting the highest standard of the Corps. Courage: Courage is not the absence of fear. It is the ability to face fear and overcome it. It is the mental, moral and physical strength ingrained in Marines. It steadies them in times of stress, carries them through every challenge and aids them in facing new and unknown confrontations. Commitment: Commitment is the spirit of determination and dedication found in Marines. It is what impels Marines to serve our country and the Corps. Every aspect of life in the Corps shows commitment, from the high standard of excellence to the vigilances the Marines show for training. Why do we do this? We'd like to think that a member in our unit would take from these and be a better person for it. A better person for the unit and hopefully a better person in life. They will learn what it is work together in team and work towards a common goal. They will learn what the words "determination" and "dedication" mean. They will learn to be dependable, respectful, and respectable. They will earn the right to be called a Marine in the 15th MEU Realism Unit, and they will uphold all that comes with that title so not to tarnish the great name of the Corps and those who serve it. If this sounds like something you're interested in, by all means please register and let us know. But keep in mind, once you take that step and commit to joining, we're going to hold you the same standards we hold every other member. Semper Fidelis ---------- Some history on the 15th MEU ArmA Realism Unit: The Unit was established in April 2007 and has steadily grown from month to month. The 15th came out of the 22nd MEU Realism Clan ( who play the Project Reality mod of BF2 ) and established itself as an active unit that held true to the values of realistic gaming. Many of the unit's members have real world military experience and work to adapt that to the ArmA environment. What you will find in the 15th MEU: * Access to two Armed Assault servers running on top of the line Trinity Gaming servers. One public server provides a great place to relax and play, and also recruit new members. One locked server running 15th MEU specific training maps provides the stomping grounds for realistic training and serious play. * A newly updated Ventrilo 3.0 voice server. * Active members and Staff who work to keep all members and new joins interested and engaged. Weekly unit training events get all elements of the unit together to train. Light Training events throughout the week focus on the individual elements. * A focused and in depth basic training course to acquaint new recruits with the structure of the 15th, SOPs, Chain of Command and basic infantry skills. Once passing basic and earning the rank of Private or Student Naval Aviator, members will be assigned to a Fireteam or flight school for further specialized training. * Opportunities for continued training and advancement. Infantry leadership courses for Fireteam Leaders, Squad Leaders. Officer Training Courses for Enlisted members to train into command roles. Active promotion schedules. * A sharp and professional website with active posting and a handy calendar to keep track of events. A Squad XML roster that is updated diligently, found at http://www.15thmeu.net/squad/squad.xml * Friendly help with training in game, and also with out of game issues. We're here for ya. * And most of all, a fun group to kick back and enjoy a great game with. No crazy requirements or ridiculous mandates for belonging, just some simple courtesies and respect all around. -------- Current openings we are looking to fill within the Unit are as follows: Infantry - no limit! Tankers - 2 slots Rotary Pilots & Navigators - 5 slots Fixed Wing Pilots - 1 slot Corpsmen - 2 slots Combat Engineers - 2 slots In the near future we will be opening Scout Sniper Detachment, Force Recon Platoon and Fixed Wing Flight Squadrons. If you are interested in joining please register at our site, found athttp://www.15thmeu.net] and submit an application in the "Recruiting" section. Your application will be processed in a timely manner and you will be sent login information for our Ventrilo server and available dates for basic training.

a USMC LAV-25 would be awesome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAV-25

ABSOLUTLEY NOT! if i wanted that kind of thing i would Go play me some battlefield 2.

I dont care so much avbout the both eyes open thing as much as i would LOVE to see grenade launchers like M203's Sights able to be flipped down when not using the M203.

i dont think its too much to ask, except for the neon skies. This should DEFINATLEY be included!! all that he said

Bradleys? no way man. AMTRACS, and LAV FTW! its a marine based game... OOO RAH!

ya that would be cool, then i could get my scuba certification badge

i agree there should be streams, lakes, ponds, inlets, and CANALS would be awesome.

I AGREE!

DEFINATLEY need fast roping from hueys, super stallions etc. but with a decent animation . agree with burning bodies also.

i didnt have teh patience or the time to read this entire thread... SO PLEASE can someone make a LAV and/or an AMTRAC for the marines!?

People say it is almost impossible but i think this mod community can do anything if they put their minds to it and work together... i will PAY to see a good working, HORSE, and German Shepard. the horse for riding basically. the German Shepard could be an AI unit that barks at enemys and attacks them maybe?

Anyone else think it would be cool to have horses ? like maybe they could carry extremley limited gear like vehicles do. but it would be awesome to have a horse to ride. like the SLA could have horses, or the rebels could use them in the wilderness. anyone workin on this by chance?

could someone point me in the direciton of a limousine addon? not a hummer limousine but like a real limo. not streth but regular length

oooo this looks great so far cant wait till its done and workin !

omg SKEET! these look awesome i cant wait to have missle strikes from boats

when you reckon these will be done it looks awesome and im in a marine realisim unit wed love these www.15thmeu.net

id love to see something like this. maybe foxholes, or something kinda like that too?

heck yes! THIS WOULD BE AN AWESOME FEATURE TO HAVE!

if this was put in i would be happier then christmas time!

ya being able to transport an artillery piece to a hiltop somewhere would be awesome! i also want indirect fire like in battlefield 1942 maybe? like a forward spotter gives artillery operator coordinates etc and arty fires then adjusts then fires, but to be able to take a helicopter and take it to the top of a hill and setup shop there would be definatley rpetty awesome just like in vietnam

I agree this is a must have get a seahawk or blackhawk to bring me a humvee with a 50 cal or TOW etc OOO RA!

i agree about the boats but not much else here, i think there should be small fast attack craft bigger then the rib but still small and fast something with a vulcan on it an some helfire missles maybe? or similar. having only the RHIB boats is SOOOO boring and lame. add more craft as well maybe a boat that can transport armor across canals bays etc, like an LCAC.

well thats a crappy attitude, why not try pointing the fellow in the right direction... ANYWAY i agree there should be more extensive indoor environments other than a simple two story house. and a hotel thats a few stories large.

i agree i think that you should maybe be able to dig foxholes, not neccesarilly trenches, also i think you should be able to make small embankments of earth around your tank. but this should be times thing and not instantly
