Smith, I completely forgot you went by Death Merchants. I kept wondering if we were friends because of 1st MRB, or something else. Now I realize. We were both in Soldier of Foreign Wars together. I went by ANGUS YOUNG way back then.

I'm so sad to hear that Brad passed. I had lost touch over the years due to SOFW getting out of DoD:S, not having a PC for a long time, and then eventually joining the Army and going overseas. 

 

I joined SOFW when I was just 13. A lot of people thought I was too young...but Brad was the one who convinced them to give me a chance to be one of them. I never forgot that. Some of my best times playing DoD:S was with SOFW and I met some long lasting friends that I still talk to today. I'm now 30 and to know that someone who I spent countless hours playing games with (even when I didn't have my own Steam account) is gone, it saddens me. Rest in Peace BanG, you were truly one of the good ones and someone who would happily give the shirt off your back.

 

Over 15 years later...I still have, and wear, one of the greatest shirts I have ever received...all thanks to the generosity of Brad when I couldn't afford to purchase one for myself.

He definitely had a few choice words for me when I would snipe him or constantly hit headshots with the rifles hahahahaha not sure if you remember “Mr Meow” or “Miles Teg” but those were my teachers for the rifles. I miss being good at the rifles. Ahhhhh good memories for sure my brother.

Yes sir! Jared was always fun too! Realmenwearkilts aka Kilty was a trip too as well as BlueLightSpecial! Ahhh man, I wish I could have made it out to one of the reunions back in the day. I think we need to reach out to some of the old members and have ourselves some DoD:S fun again!

      jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection. Yes   Application stats UserId: 943213736024498227 Username: jelly3384 User: @Rec. J. Buford Duration: 1131 seconds Joined guild at: a day ago
