Old Farts & Fogies

How do I join this fleet?  I need a guide.  My Vulcan science officer and her ship, the USS Resolute, are ready to join.  I think Schaubicus is too.

My wife use to quip about divorce if I didn't quit playing...she's been out of the house for 9 months now. 

Thx Cam.  Was a fun ending.  I was last tank alive at 33%.  3 on the red team.  TD on a hill behind me, T14 and Stuart in the cap.  32 seconds left.  Charge the cap with turret pointed backwards at the hill.  I knew the TD was going to try and pop me from the rear.  I was id'd by the Stuart, TD pops up, lock on, snap shot, Bible (from Wardaddy's crew) hits, dead TD.  Stuart panics, out of cap to hide.  25 seconds jumps to 41.  Stuart realizes his mistake and gets back on cap.  20 seconds.  I reach the cap with 9 seconds left, see nobody, Stuart bails to geton my 6.  I push and take a snap shot at the T14 hiding.  Tracks only, but reset cap.  T14 hit me in the process.  17%.  I pop around, hit the T14.  He doesn't fire back.  Pop out again, I bounce, he tracks me.  Stuart starts rapid firing the rear, reloaded...fire!  Dead T14.  7% health but the Stuart did a drive by, Wardaddy fixes the track, hit the Stuart, get my front end turned toward, he bounces the entire magazine.  I shoot as he tries to run, miss.  He's looking at me as he runs, bad idea...he runs into a building.  He bounces another magazine off the front end...BOOM!  Wardaddy for the win.  Fun game.

Of course it counts.  Definitely bragging rights when you take out 2/3 if the OpFor, unless you're me, then everyone calls you a kill stealing ****.  But honestly, I'm just trying reduce their ammo usage to save them money.  Nice job Barrett!

Alright, me next I guess.  Began college for civil engineering, then quickly realized...I really don't like math.  Continued college, but switched it up to Administration of Justice.  Transported inmates primarily for Orange and Los Angeles counties.  Many air miles logged cross country.  Being armed on an airplane was an empowering and terrifying experience.  After 9/11, I was on the first flight out of LAX to Austin, Tx. armed with my trusty 10mm.  Used as an unofficial air marshal whenever I didn't have an inmate in custody.  Was married in April of 2001 and the flights after 9/11 wore on the new brides nerves.  I was asked to stop and to withdraw my candidacy for Los Angeles County Sheriff's department.  I obliged and then wondered...now what?  Drove a limousine for a couple of years in Southern California while I tried to work out a direction.  My wife became pregnant with our 1st of 4 and the limo. provided zero security, or insurance.  As fate would have it, the CEO of Southern California Edison climbed into my limo. headed to a Rolling Stones concert.  He asked about my life, schooling etc...mentioned to me about their nuclear plant in San Onofre.  I scoffed, ha, security guard.  Little did I know.  Been nuclear now for 15 years.  Alarm station operator, Nuclear Security Instructor, NRA certified Law Enforcement tactical firearms instructor for pistol, AR15 and shotgun.  Smith & Wesson factory armorer for M&P pistols as well as AR15 rifles.

19 battles, 3.5 hours.  Schaubicus, Dado, Scibirius and Conman were with me the whole way.  No x3 ops used, but I did have x2 daily multipliers and weekly ops going.  Thanks for the assist guys.  Conversations strayed to the political side...but we're all still friends!

Thanks Oxi, I have found the same to be true.  For every game I sang praises about the tank, there were easily 3 curses.

19181/14639...looks like I'm a tree hugger.  4500 fewer trees cut than games played.
