Well, it's been a long while since I've been on, so here goes...

Age: 24
Current Occupation: Nat'l Guard MP, active - Iraq
Rank: Specialist 4th Class (full bird private)
Normal Occupation: Student
Normal Residence: Auburn, AL

Reason for 9 month absence from forums: Army is yet to include dial-up internet access on fieldphones.

Right now I'm working over here in the sand, waiting on 26 MAR when I can go back to livin the good life of barhopping, cute chicks in Wranglers and Ropers, and late night SFC if I didn't get lucky. My SFB circle thought that I had died- or stated so in my first E-Mail to them from over here; unfortunately, the Student Loans board hasn't forgotten I'm alive. My Humvee is a peice of crap and my dad sold himself my truck (using the power of attorney I left them... not really an issue, he needs it more than me right now) so i don't even have a vehicle for when I go home on leave on 18 DEC.

Basicly, Life just called and told me that I was on hold waiting for the next available customer service opperator to help me with my needs.

Still 40 something (for now)

My name is Byron, I live in Ohio. When I was in USAF boot camp my instructors could not say my name right and it came out ?Hoochins?, finally shortened to Hooch, ergo my nickname and it has followed me for the last 22 years. I play music, play these SFC games and run FOH Sound for my church of over 6000. ( I have left Active Duty and I am finishing up my military career as a Air National Guardsmen for the next 18 months)

I have been a gamer since high school. SPI, Avalon Hill, TRS, West End, SSI you name it I have played it. Sadly I thought SFB was a snore back in the day and knew that someday the game would make it to PC so I decided to wait for it to come to me.

About two and a half years ago I caught one of my troops playing SCF I while on duty and tore him a new one for breaking regulations and told him to take it home. Well the little rodent said ?naaa Sarg, I don?t care for it that much, you want it?? I had just gotten a new PC and so I said thanks and took it home. I played for 14 hours and went to the base the next day having gotten no sleep at all.

Shortly after that EAW came out, OP, and III and I have loved playing them all ever since. ( I am a SFC junkie now )

I ran into the SSCF folks during that time and have been playing ever since.

Not sure how I ended up as RM, seemed like a good idea at the time.

BTW Doggy, I am looking at Tactics II right now...Gads I seem to have more in common with you than I know.

Keep your head down Bro, come home soon. <S>

Hard to keep it down- I'm a machine gunner in a Humvee, but I do always wear my K-pot...

Thanks for the sentiment. I'm in a pretty safe spot right now. Been in dangerous ones a couple of times, but we've been blessed to make it through 9 months and the occasional trip to Al Falujah with no injuries and no shots fired !

God is definately looking out for us.

Happy Thanksgiving, Boss...

Age: 20
Status: University Student
Location: Wirral, England

Currently assigned to clearing the (steadily decreasing) mountain of uni coursework Ive built up. Doing Applied Computer Technology at Liverpool John Moores University, and Im in my second year.

I actually got into SFC by accident. It was around September 2002, I had just put down Birth of the Federation, and was looking for something Id never tried before. I went to watch one of my Star Trek DVD's, and included in one of them was a full working copy of Starfleet Command (1). I gave it a go, and I was hooked. However, it didnt have any multiplayer aspect to it, so at this point (November 2002) I started casting out for any sequels that were made. I saw SFC2 and OP, but SFC3 had just been released, and since I liked Bridge Commander, I thought that it'd be cool to combine SFC and BC. Played SFC3 online at the end of December, and Ive been hooked ever since. Joined the 9th Fleet around May this year, to meet like-minded players

As I mentioned, Im at university- I was in the RAF cadets for around 2 1/2 to 3 years, retired with the rank of Cadet Sergeant. Had some great times in the cadets, even became a qualified Glider pilot (still got my "budgie" wings

), and I was initially planning to join the Royal Air Force. However, after finding out one of my girlfriend's mates is earning around £40,000/year as a computer consultant, I thought Id have a career change

. Hell, for that money, I think could *buy* a plane before long!

Interested in science, especially theoretical physics- astronomy, 20th Century history, the League of Gentlemen, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek (obviously

), and expanding my horizons!
