I use my regular HDTV, the same one I watch tv on. Nothing better than a 39" 1080p 'computer monitor'

Not a bad idea at all if the two command teams can strike a deal. I did some research on the subject and at the moment there is a WIP T-10 mod being used by a Canadian parachute unit. However unconfirmed sources indicate production of the mod is largely unfinished and the parachutes not polished...

Dev team sign up? Also, consider EIB for the infantry and EFMB for the medics.

Send me a PM, I'll get you started.

If were really going all out here, their recon guys jumped into Afghanistan in '04. Although that was MFF and not static line.

While yes, they jumped on top a NATO controlled airfield, remember the strategy. The jump was six days after the initial push from the south and 4 days after the jump the entire brigade was boots-on-ground with its vehicles and tanks from 1-63. Might look like a show, but they fortified their...

Lol we're in agreeance on Panama. That airfield in Iraq was already controlled by NATO forces. My point here is that it might seem impractical, but it shouldn't be ruled out as a tactical or strategic option and is still the primary mission of an entire division in the Army. As for that last...

You forget about the 82nd Airborne Division, the last true "airborne" division in the US Army. ~20,000 troops on jump status, with ~4,000 ready to deploy anywhere in the world via mass tactical parachute operations in 18 hours. 13 jumps in I can tell you that to us, it's not rare at all, it's an...

In the present realm of budget cuts and difficult times, some training is better than none. Using a simulator like VBS2 is preferable to using PowerPoint as VBS2 is largely dynamic and interactive. Sending your guys to the field is more preferable, but costs thousands of dollars in fuel, food...

Very expensive Legos

This is a custom build I plan on using for Arma 3. It's spec'd higher than the Alienware and usually sits at $800-$850 depending on when components go on sale. The build is currently set to always use the lowest cost components that fit my desires...

I'll bump this instead of making another thread about it. I finished recruit training with CPL Johnstone on 16 Dec 14 and don't have permissions either. Just want to peek my head into phase two and look at classes after winter stand down. Thanks!

What's keeping you from upgrading your CPU and motherboard, out of curiosity?

Some food for thought: Virtual Battle Space (VBS) and VBS2 were built from the ArmA engine for use as training aids that the U.S. Army could use to simulate a combat environment without spending tons of money on fuel, ammunition and all such related field exercise supplies. While I personally...

What part of TeamSpeak are you having problems with? Installing the actual TS application, or the TFAR plug-ins?
