More to come! I've recruited a few of my Marines. I wanted to post this though since its "Combat Medic" week.

Hey Hamma, any idea of that attachment can even be read on these forums?

Wonder what server you'd have to play on from Afghanistan. :o

EDIT: link says invalid attachment specified. :o

I dont think it will work like that.

Feel free to e-mail the image to [email protected] and I'll rehost and post it for you.

That will be interesting to see... My ping on WoW from that neighborhood a few years ago on a 1mbps satellite connection got up around 20k. Similar results from a buddy of mine on SW:TOR. I can tell you though, it would've done a LOT for my morale playing PS from the sandbox, so hopefully the white lines are better now! Good luck brother

There is no way I could play out here...good thing I only have a couple of months left. LOL!

Russian (if there's ever one)/Asian

Though I hardly imagine Afghan to have any proper internet line...

Yes they would and do! I'm in a small PB though way of Dwyer.

With 3/3 btw. I've recruited about 4 of my Marines so far...once we get the chance, we will take a group photo with the Marine Corps version of a Sunderer

no image on this side either.

Best of luck down range. There was always something surreal about going to the morale tent, logging into the outfit forums, and folks are planning a raid for the weekend. When I'm folded into the plan I have to quietly mention that I can't log on. I didn't like making public when I was deployed, but my outfit mates could eventually figure it out.

What is stranger: a real JTAC that I probably supported down range is telling me where to reaver spam an AMS. Freaky when you hear "My position marked by pulsar fire"

One thing that I really love about Planetside is that it is set in a fantasy world with made-up weapons and vehicles. Playing the game doesn't remind me of the armpits of the world, and I never have to compare anything to the real hardware; just what makes sense and physics.

During my tours in AFG back in early 01-05 When we gamed using our sat con.. We usually got best reception from russian and asian servers.

things might have changed now tho.. but we used to have fun at our A.O.B. playing online games when we could.

beekergunship · 2012-03-16, 10:06 AM

oh, so that's why it took all my computer time to just check my bank statement or fiddle with some stupid electronic form I should have completed before I deployed. Now I know.
