Looking for Traveller players in the military

[Andrew Boulton]

If you are, or know of, any Traveller players who are serving, or have served in Iraq or Afghanistan, please PM me.

 

[Vargr]

For some reason Traveller seems to be a RPG with a lot of adepts that are, or have served, in the military.

Somebody should write an article about it.

 

[Andrew Boulton]

C'mon, I know there's more of you out there - I can hear you reloading...

 

[BlackBat242]

If you didn't limit it to Iraq & Afghanistan vets, you'd get a lot more responses.

 

[Cryton]

Especially as a lot of the Grogs that I know, served in the first Desert Shield/Storm/Fox trio.

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Okay, I think I can stretch it back to '91.

 

[Ishmael]

still to recent for me to count...oh well

 

[BlackBat242]

Me to... I resumed my Civilian career in 7/89.

 

[sabredog]

I guess '85 is too old?

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Thanks to everyone who's replied already.

I've now been asked to expand the search to anyone who's previously served in the military, in any capacity (although I might draw the line if your uniform was black-pyjamas-and-an-AK47 or included swastikas...)

 

[sfchbryan]

You can count me

82 - 07.

 

[aramis]

Oh? That puts about 90% of the board members in the running.

Only US Military? Former Bundeswehr Staff Sergeant here... (Active Service from 1989 through 1997)

 

[Andrew Boulton]

No, all nationalities are welcome.

 

[jappel]

US Army here, 1982-1988. Maroon beret type.

 

[Major B]

Maroon beret type.

The first point of performance is check body position and count... jumpers, hit it.

Counts me out, as I've never served.
