Tiger Nanny! Good to see you bouncing back around here! I was pretty damn impressed that Reite is still around and in TS most days. I was certain he'd have gotten tired of pulling his hair out near weekly for the unit at some point. And holy shit, the ID numbers. I didn't even realize how low ours are compared to everybody else. The Arma bug got to work nibbling at me too, and I just returned from my 5 year retirement in January. By all means, come find me in TS/Discord some time. I was pretty floored the unit was still going this strong too, and I'll be honest I'm super impressed with how well the 15th has maintained and even definitely improved over the years. Not at all to suggest that the 15th we knew back in the day was anything other than incredible, but I can definitely tell the unit has continued building on the foundations you and Savage/Schultz laid. It definitely shows that the unit has had all these years to nitpick every little realism detail and improve the unit in these little ways that collectively add up to an even more impressive and realistic experience. All of the core experience that made the unit great and made it last this long are still there, but smoothed out and improved by the continued efforts of 15 years worth of dedicated members sharing their talents and the thoroughly refined addons. Trying to get Arma to do what we want it to has gotten so impressively easy and powerful. Just the other day, I was reading through the MSOT training document (MSOT being the result of Forecon's evolution) and found by my and Phillip's names on the document as a result of the folding in of several separate Recon documents written before 2015 or earlier, despite me having never been around during MSOT's lifespan and Phillip's being quite scarce. The amalgamation of all of our efforts is still present in every aspect of the unit. Barton and Corium are still remembered in every official unit mission on the Honor Wall, our LHD is still named after Barton, the LSD still after Phillips. The bureaucracy that ironically contributed to the realism of the 15th ("hurry up and wait") has been made into a much more efficient machine--arguably less realistic, however definitely more enjoyable. Requests sent to command staff receive prompt and effective responses within a shorter timespan than I've previously experience in the unit. I know if you get around to sorting Arma out and getting back into the unit, you'll love what it has become. If you just decide to hang out on TS and play random games and shoot the shit, there's plenty of that going 24/7/365. If you catch me or Cpl Horta (another fairly old timer 15th member) or LCpl Merc, we've gotten into SWAT4 and some mods for it lately. Tarkov is big among a lot of people in the unit. The recruiting server and its spinoffs (WWII, Vietnam, Patrol Ops) are going surprisingly strong. You'll be welcomed with open arms damn near anywhere. The 15th has literally built a lore around itself, and the members tend to be pretty respectful of--even interested in--the unit's stories and past functions. I've got a couple old ass Recon videos from the 2010-2012 era and boy was that a different experience from today. I guess I'm a salty old man in the unit now after joining in 2009 a few weeks after my 16th. I'm even rambling on endlessly about the old days and everything. I see you, Cpl Belgrave. Back in my day I was a GySgt! *shakes cane* Anyways, welcome back bud. P.S. Fuck, Ya'll remember that Ventrilo bullshit?
