Variable Training Course

We have a lot of experienced members and leaders in Ordo and want to pass what knowledge we have on to others. These sessions will be held in our primary voice communication program and will be based off of material the mentor may have at that time or the topic interests of the attendants, you'll just have to come see!

It's a great time and place to discuss and experience new ideas first hand, how to approach them and learn some new or old practices and experiences. While primarily held by CENTCOM and TRADOC, it's an educational program that can accommodate anyone who wishes to be a mentor or scholar. It'll be a great time to learn from others or work on your own techniques.

Topics can range from IT, technology and media to gaming, tactics and communication.

battlefield play4free

Here is my suggestion, also add some not free games as a separate list and then every week have a poll for what would be next week's game (Meaning poll lasts 1 week and then everyone has 1 week to download the game for the following week) and include at least 1 free and 1 non free game on the poll.

Non-free suggestions:

Insurgency

CS:GO

Guns of Icarus Online

GMod

I've actually wanted to try guns of icarus online. Haven't had a crew to play with though so that put me off.

There is more interest in having training on Thursday's (same time) so we'll likely be doing this in the next weeks.

[Odin047]

Next week's game will be Payday 2, and Xoza will teach forum things.

[Odin047]

Given the fact that it's now Tuesday, I'll have to say that our game this week is APB Reloaded since it received the most votes.

Xoza announced we are doing Thursday's exercise tonight at regular time. We will be playing War Thunder, show up if you want to vote on next week's game.

[Angelin01]

Here's a sugestion: http://store.steampowered.com/app/270150

 

Running with rifles. Isometric shooter, fast paced, requires a lot of teamwork. It's $15 I think? Not sure because of conversions.

[Xoza]

I wanted to run recruitment training this week, but I'm at work during our regular time. Odin, could you run a 'fun time' gaming something? The educational portion will be at 4pmCST Sunday. The game on Saturday will be your choice of our expanses. We will be actively practicing recruiting and sharing some ideas in google drive documents.

 

Next week, we'll be back on track!
