I'm not military, but I've gamed with many that are.

And yes, be proud.

What language, Technik? I was a 98G (Chinese) in the Army until April 2001. (Wife was 1N4 USAF linguist, also Chinese). I still work at Ft. Meade as a civilian.

Here!

I've been a member of the German Armed Forces since I was drafted on January 2nd - and this certainly hasn't stopped me from gaming!

EDIT: I've completed Infantry training at the end of March, and I am now stationed at the Armed Forces University (yes, the Bundeswehr has a genuine university of its own) in Munich.

And what am I, a 27-year old certified physicist, doing at this university?

I work as a barkeeper. Oh, the irony...

Here in Switzerland we have mandatory military service for able-bodied male citizens (although you can opt for civil service in hospitals etc. if you do not want to become a soldier), and the army itself uses a militia model similar, iirc, to the US national guard, with yearly 3-week refresher courses. That means that in the gaming groups I was and am in most of the people over 20 are or were in the military (between 30 and 40 you get mustered out).

Corporal, mechanized artillery (120mm mortar mounted in M-113).

simply a miltary spouse here, but the group I play with is all AF EOD, and the group before that was crew chiefs and avionics guys. I know a few CE guys who play too. My dad was in the Army, when I was younger the group he played with was all Military. As a teenager I played in all military groups. Ton of miltary gamers out there. Should have their own convention.

I'm an Air Force officer in the missile career field (13S4, space and missile staff officer). I spent the first four years of my Air Force career pulling alert under North Dakota, and have spent the last 12 at various codes vaults and related jobs.
