Hey. I saw a link from Xboxlivearcade.com for the Trials giveaway and checked the place out.
Names Tony and I love to play video games. I live in Colorado right now but I'm moving to Arizona for Helicopter Flight school in January. I just got out of Active Duty and joined the Reserves. Liking the site so far, hope you can bring some more people here.
Oh and my B-day is the 21st of August 
. I'll be 22

My favorite games of all time would have to be the entire Battlefield series. Every single BF game released so far have been a blast, even BF Heroes (which is free to DL and play on PC). A few of my other top games would be Fallout 3, Mass Effect, and the GTA series :D.
I spent 4 years on Active duty, the bulk of it being with the 10th Mountain Division out of New York. I spent 15 crappy months in Iraq as well. I am now in a Reserve unit that is part of the 1st Army Division. I got lucky because all my unit does is train people going to Iraq. That means I don't go to Iraq anymore :D .

I have all the more respect for a man whos served. Do you have any interesting stories from your time or did you get any medals for serving.

I didn't get any real special medals like a silver star or nothing like that. I have an Army Commendation Medal which is probably the best one I have and I got that for my service in Iraq. I have 2 and a half rows of ribbons.
I really don't have many stories to tell. Iraq really sucked and only a few funny things happend here and there.
Lots of mortar attacks at the patrol bases.
Convoys were nerve racking, you never knew if you were going to hit an IED or not.
I did see a goat get blown up by an IED which was pretty funny.
not really much else i like to talk about.
Here is a link to all of my units fallen soldiers from the iraq war, I was with them 2006-2007.
These guys are the real heroes...

Wow thats a lot of names. Well, at least more than there should be (none). Welcome to the community. We are working really hard to make everything correct around here, so if you notice anything off or missing, let us know in the suggestions forum. Also, don't forget to tell your friends!
Hey Tony,
Welcome to the website. What are you favorite games of all time? They don't have to be indie favorites. How long did you serve in active duty? Where did you serve?
