Camaraderie, Mutual trust and friendship among people who spend a lot of time together.

 

I think this down to the heart sometimes, no matter what stripe you wear or what responsibility you hold. We DL this game, games to get away from reality. Some might live in the game to hide from life. That being said, I might be new to this clan or troop, unit.  Any thing done beyond or within has consequences and actions. I think whom ever started this conquest might have had a imagine or merrier. 

 

I think in my own words we should start knowing one another.. Leave your name, age and state.. If you have opinion in improvement upon each other as a unity within comment.  Please.  I still speak upon former, Legends who hold more than a Access platform holds. 

 

Where is the Camaraderie.

I am right there with you, I also think gaming has done more than just be my escape from reality. Trust, is not easy to come by, but as a unit we trust each other. Especially when the going gets tough. The great thing about it is it brings together people from all over the globe. Many of us form lasting friendships on the public server, other game escapades, and our many gaming events.
 

Our unit is special because there is a sense of community and belonging that is hard to find elsewhere. We are family. I enlisted 11 years ago and a lot in my life has changed but the unit has remained consistent, and true to its word. In recent years our unit has only made positive changes. I am grateful for the time spent online with good people, and the positive impact they and our unit has had on my life. 

I have also used gaming as a distraction, and I recently had to give IRL my full attention. So I retired. You guys have still been there for me on le Discord and the occasional minute chess match. To be honest until a few days ago I thought I got force retired and missed the reply to my post, and it meant a lot to me getting to read it eventually.

The 'vetrans' in our unit balance their duties IRL and with you guys. We ought to appreciate their dedication to the unit, but also their success IRL. While I have made dedications to the unit, I have also neglected my RL and ended up facing the consequences in all spectrums. And yet its not that bad when compare myself to others who have done the same. We should be here to have fun and hang out with each other but we also need to be honest even when it is not fun.  If you feel strongly about something chances are it is important. If you feel convinced about something do it. Just don't sweat the unit stuff so hard.

I go by a lot of names, but Ben is one maybe you guys haven't heard before.  I'm 35, I live in Maryland 30 minutes from Washington DC.

38. Fort Collins, CO. I just got an apartment in Feb after living in motels for about 10 months. I play too many video games and consequentially I clean up dog poop and deliver pizza. Fun fact: I have been bit by a dog the Thursday before Easter weekend 2 years in a row and I was wearing the same pair of pants both times.

It's best to not know much about me, but I can give you the basics. I am 20 and living in California. That is all :)

    • 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.
