  1. Pvt Mahto, That did it. Thank you so much for your help. Can't wait to get back into it. Been watching the kids all weekend while wife is away on a women's retreat. Then the next week I'm busy on a couple of evenings with work. I hope to start my SOI soon, perhaps May 11, 2018. This tweak makes me feel a heck of a lot better going into it.
  2. Pvt Tater, Well i did change the interface size. I was using large and bumped up to very large. That didnt help. The Ace Mod’s Arsenal page remains with tiny bunched up font. I will just have to find ways to adapt. Thanx for your suggestion. Pvt St. Julien
  3. Thank you. I will check it out tomorrow. Pvt St. Julien
  4. Hello, Monday night I completed my recruit training, thankfully. One of the issues that I've had is experienced based in that I just have not played Arma 3 that much, nor am I familiar with mods and how they work in game. But I think it's coming along. However, my biggest concern is that being legally blind I am having great difficulty seeing the ACE mod regarding Equipment so that I can set my kits and load outs. It plagued me the entire training. Is there anyway to make the ACE fonts larger? or to use the default Arma font? I recognize that ACE has added a ton of equipment and that this is likely the reason for such small and bunched up fonts. But I was hopeful to find a way to adapt that for my purposes. Thank you for your help. Pvt St. Julien
  5. First Name: Michael Middle Initial: A Last Name: St.Julien Age: 48 Desired Duty Assignment: 0311 Rifleman How long have you been playing ArmA III?: 2 months Are you currently in an ArmA III gaming clan or unit?: No How did you find out about us?: From 506th webite and saw the unit that they originally came from, the 15th. If you were recruited by one of our members, who was it?: Why do you want to join the 15th MEU (SOC) Realism Unit?: I have always had an interest in the military and weapons, but never the opportunity to learn about either. Though its not "real" per se', I'd like to learn more about how the infantry fight, tactics, structure, anything that I can. I am a family man with 6 babies and just had never thought of doing this since having the kids. Though playing solo is fun for me, I have don't really have an idea of good tactics and how to learn them best. I want to play Arma as if it were real and not just "run and gun". I also have Ghost Recon (original) and would love to be able to have a transferable skill set. Are you a prior member of the 15th?: No If yes, what level of training did you complete?: N/A ArmA III Player ID: 76561198002509935 Steam Name: SAINT19_HOME Steam Profile Link: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198002509935/ Do you own ArmA III APEX?: Yes Please check your user profile and ensure that the email address you registered with is correct. Have you done this?: Yes Have you read and understood the definition of Realism Gaming and do you agree to abide by it?: Yes Have you read and understood the requirements for our unit and the criteria for being active and taking a billet in this unit and that failure to complete said criteria will place you into the reserve platoon?: Yes You understand the fact that this unit is a CST (GMT -6) time zone based unit, and the attendance requirements of operations on Sundays at 1900 CST (0100 GMT)?: Yes
  6. Thank you all for the responses and information. SSgt Russell, You are correct in that legal blindness generally means that you still have some vision. In fact most people who are blind and visually impaired due have some residual vision. Doesn't have much to do with spelling though. A couple of years ago I purchased my first pistol and earned my CCW here in Missouri. After that I purchased an AR-15 and also a Mossberg shotgun. I don't get to practice as much as I'd like, but I do fine. I'm very thankful to my close friend for encouraging me to learn about these things not only because of my interest in the military and weapons, but also to protect my family. Lt. Johansen, In real life back in 1987 I was told by a Marine Recruiter that they wouldn't want me out in the dessert with my skin (albinism is why I'm legally blind). That means that the sun is not good for me without a healthy dose of sunscreen. After that I approached the National Guard and was sent to a MEPS station. I went through all the physicals and at the end they began sending recruits to swear in....I was pulled out of the line. Oh well, I'm sure that my father knew I'd not make it. But he let me make my own choice. My system is a low-end one with a DELL I5 7400, 12GB Ram, Windows 10, Intel Hd 630. I left my Radeon card in my old machine (AMD) for the kids to play their games. One day I may pick up a new card. But the DELL seems to run fine for me mostly. 20 years ago I participated in a flight sim squadron where we used a program called Roger Wilco. I don't have much experience with Teamspeak. But I can learn. Cpl Rush, Thank you for the kind welcome. As I stated of the past 4-5 years I'd mostly given up graphical "sims" in favor of war games mostly computer (Combat Mission, Gary Grigsby, Command Ops) and even some board games. I'm just getting into Arma really. I'd purchased Arma 2, but hardly played it. I didn't really understand "tactics" for this type of thing and actual infantry as opposed to moving pieces on a hex. Thanx to all of you. I do appreciate the responses. Sorry for my long post. I'll SIGN-UP!!! Saint19
  7. Hi, While I've been a gamer for a long time, I'm pretty new to the Arma universe. Lately I've played mostly strategy wargames and am just getting back into something with actual "gfx". Anyway, I know nothing about infantry or ground tactics and would love to learn Arma 3 the way it was meant to be played...realistically. I'm legally blind and was never able to join the service, though I tried. All of my family have been in the Armed Forces serving in conflicts. My father and several uncles were in Vietnam and Korea. Cousins and relatives have been in Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia. I've never been able to actually serve my country and always have had a love for thing military. I have 6 babies, and we homeschool...so time playing is limited mostly to late at night after the kiddos are in bed. Would the 15th MEU allow me to join though I have no experience with and don't understand infantry tactics, and am legally blind, with not the fastest computer. I do have Arma 3 Apex and am working through the campaign currently. But there is so much to learn. Thanx for your time. Michael St. Julien (Saint19)
