I guess you could say that. I'm currently serving in the Dept of Military Instruction (DMI) as a DA Civilian. I run the Warfighting Simulation Center or WARCEN and I've been working there for over a year. So what do I do? Well it's about as good as it gets in terms of gaming. I run simulated exercises for the cadets. Our normal fare is Operation Flashpoint since we do a lot of squad/platoon level stuff. We do a variety of operations with OFP like convoy ops, patrols, etc. One of our MilArt classes did a communications exercise looslely based on Black Hawk down. In another course on SOF ops we used Rainbow 6: Athena Sword. One of my jobs is to integrate sims into the academic courses that's why I posted my original message concerning CoG. Although I'm not officially an instructor I do provide instruction on both the sim as well as tactics. Prior to my gig at WP I was a contractor with Northrop Grumman at the Command and General Staff College. At CGSC I helped design and run Division/BDE level exercises using Decisive Action and TacOps. Of course prior to that I served in the Army for over 20 years retiring at age 37 as a Redleg Seargeant First Class in MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System). And like many people on this board I started off in boardgaming with my first game being Panzer Blitz, played my way through most of GDW's games, and every now and then would break out the paint and do a little miniature gaming. Of course when the computer came along I had to get into computer gaming. I was fortunate enough to beta test Legions, TacOps 3.0, Decisive Action (several versions), Armored Task Force, ATF: Raging Tiger, and Point of Attack. In addition to using commercial off the shelf or COTS games I will also be managing the Engagement Skills Trainer 2000 once we receive it in May. In addition to all that I also run the USMA Warlords team. Warlords is an annual competition between the other two service academies. This year we'll be playing BF2, America's Army, Command and Conquer, and InfoChess. I also have a greensuit counterpart that helps me do all of the above.
