ARMA 2 is one of TAW's healthiest divisions. At the core of any large division is a hardened group of regular members who have fun and provide an open and accepting environment for players to be introduced to the TAW way of life in. In the ARMA 2 division, one such member is Ginge. Ginge is a corporal with less than six months in TAW who has already put in a two medal performance record and achieved a place in th DI offices. QuinoaAOC of the newsletter team sat down with Ginge and grilled him about what it's like as a rank and file member of the AM Division.

When AM command decided to launch a third battalion, you were one of the first members asked to step in as a DI. What do you feel made the officers choose you for this task?
Well, I believe that AM command chose both stonkingbyte and I to become the 3rd Battalion's first DIs because we both were interested in the ace/acre battalion and we had the experience needed to teach other about the game and the mods that we use to play.
In just five months, you have been awarded two medals for conduct becoming of a member. Which of those are you most proud of and why?
I am most proud of my battlefield conduct medal. I say this because of the work that my squad and I accomplished together for us to receive this award.
As a "rank and file" member of your division, what do you feel is the leading reason behind AM's success as the largest division currently in TAW?
I think that the environment that the arma division operates in is one of the main reasons for it having and maintaining its position as the largest group in TAW. I say this because the the leaders and members involved in this division are very kind and helpful and this draws players in and then keeps them in.
What made you choose TAW over the other clans available in Arma II?
The main reason for me joining TAW was actually some great experiences I had on the public servers. For example, one of my very first times playing on TAW servers there were many members of TAW online, they let me join them in their side mission squad and we had some great, organized fun.
What made you stay with TAW once you joined?
Just the great community we have here, the members are al, helpful and nice. Also, the large verity of games that we offer.
Of all the things AM brings to the table for its members, which do you feel is the most important?
I think that one of the most important things that the arma division brings to the table is that it gives players a great place to come have some great organized play and some great missions to play with squad mates.
What is something your fellow members might be surprised to know about you personally?
Something my fellow members may be surprised to know is that, yes I am actually a redhead.
What other games do you enjoy playing besides Arma II?
When I'm not playing arma I enjoy many other games such as; tribes ascend, ghost recon online, counter strike 1.6, crysis 1 and 2, minecraft, and basically anything that TAW offers.
Is there anything you would like to share with the rest of TAW about the AM division?
If you ever feel like coming down for a great night of fun missions the 3rd battalion (ace/acre) practices on Sundays at 7pm EST.
