I'm public affairs working near Lackland Airforce Base in San Antonio, TX. One of the NCOs in my unit is familiar with D&D, although he doesn't seem to hold it in much esteem. One of my civillian bosses (former army) is pretty familiar as well. I generally don't talk about gaming at work, although I don't exactly hide it either.During AIT, I recruited a bunch of guys to play during weekends. Loads of fun. I was surprised at the sheer number of people who wanted in on our game. There were a few that mocked us, a few that thought it really weird ("I thought you played it on computers"), and a few that didn't know what it was at all. The vast majority of people, however, had some gaming experience and at least some level of interest in playing with us.I work in a building full of airforce and civillians. Among them, Warhammer 40K seems to be the game of choice among those that play anything at all. Oddly enough, the 40Kers have never heard of my favorite Games Workshop Game...Bloodbowl.I think that there is a probably a slightly higher percentage of gamers among military types, if only because there is a lot of down time. I'm not deployed, but I can guarentee you that I'm taking some dice over to the "sandbox" if and when I go.</blockquote>
