Default Re: winSPMBT fans: who are you?

I am 26.

People on the forums are certainly more involved in the game than people who are not, so it's no surprise there is a high percentage of people who bought the game in the poll...
I did not buy the game, honestly when I started playing I was in the army and had very little cash for pleasures, and now I am married and struggling with paying rent and for food. But one day...One day I promise I will give you guys the thanks you deserve for all this amazing work.

I only started playing a few years ago, and accelerated my time spent playing since I was conscripted and even more so after my discharge- which brings me to my military background(some of you probably know most of this):
I was conscripted in 8/2005 into the IDF, spent a year in the Signals Corps and than asked to transfer to the Armored Corps. Was sent straight to tank commander training after finishing my training as a tank gunner. The rest of my service was spent as a squad leader/tank commander in the 460th Brigade a.k.a armor school as well as a tank commander inthe 77th Battalion/7th Brigade. As a result of my strange "career" path I am qualified as a Field Radio Operator, Squad Leader(support units), Tank Driver, Tank Gunner, and Tank Commander. All my tank training and operations were on the Merkava Mk2b. After my discharge from regular service I was somehow and against my wishes sent back to the signals corps for reserve service, and currently my official posting is as Platoon Sgt for Signals platoon of a reserve tank battalion. My rank is Sgt 1st Class, but don't be too impressed as the IDF gives this rank to most guys eventually(in reserves). I did get mine very quickly however(I think there was some computer error).
