I think we agreed some time ago to assign one icon type for real US soldiers. If we keep assigning icons to every kind of army soldier who appeals, we will quickly run out of it.

There are other possibilities to use those icons. E.g. giving them as medals in AA tournaments seems more compelling to me, as it promotes the game, and is fun for more players (believe me or not, but in the CFC competition we organized, people really wanted those icons :-D).

As far as we have spare icons, you can keep it, no problem for me. But if we run out of them, we may have to ask you to switch to the other icon (i don't remember which it was).

And before someone starts bashing me that I don't care about US soldiers: to be honest, I don't feel any sentiment for the US army in the context of this game, since they dumped it like a not needed trash.

LOL, I hope I didn't ignite a flame war :-D.

Now there are many free one, but if we keep doing on "hey can I have icon; yes sure" basis, it will change soon.

It's just about organization, nothing else.

i mearly was just asking because as a Marine ive earned my title and just would like to represent what i do for the country this game shows the emblem for it so being such it makes me feel better being thats its more of a "hey you support our country and you in the marines" its more of a honorable feeling be able to roll with something you worked hard to earn :)

but in other words i dont think its something that can be handed out to anyone that i can agree with there should be some levels of form of proof to be issued to have those titles assigned accordingly cause we dont need to have people that arent for example in military using the icons and misrepresenting what we strive for as americas armed force

We actually do have an icon for people in the military. We have given it to 2 people so far. Basically you have to give us your military email address and we will send you a message and you have to reply, proving you have control of the account. It's kind of a hassle which is why we don't like doing it. :P but as of right now we just have 1 icon for the whole military. We don't want to be troubled with all the different icons for different branches. We already deal with enough without getting paid. :P

typing 05 is the same as typing 11 imo :), as there is a Marine icon, I gave the marine icon to a Marine :)

Post by: Gnar on Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 16:40:01 PM
I say stick all military personnel  with the same icon (I would say the same Icon you gave to me.) And don't allow anyone the icon without replying back from an email sent to their military account, as to get the icon before you had to register with your .mil email. So no email, no icon.

i didnt need my email back in the day i used both my state and government id as a confirmation also with visual confirmation on a webcam based program also had my original orders of deployment also but its just having proof of who you are and what you do that matters cause theres actually alot of military personnel that actually dont have military based emails being that it needs permission from s-6 and is cac enable (which means you cannot access it at home) only way is on base

I saw you guys can make icons? why you don't make icons with gold medals, silver and bronse medals for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place of tourney's and cups? ;p

Well true. I guess I can understand that.

cause theres actually alot of military personnel that actually dont have military based emails being that it needs permission from s-6 and is cac enable (which means you cannot access it at home) only way is on base
That statement isn't true.

**Edit**
At least in the Army everyone gets a us.army.mil email address....and you don't need a CAC card reader to access it......AKO uses CAC card access, as well as password access.....but password access can be a pain in the ass as you have to change your pass every X amount (won't say the actual amount) of days. But this may be different with the other branches.

Post by: MARINEbyWILL on Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 19:21:57 PM
in the Marines they see it differently they feel that you dont need the email until your specified job or rank requires you to have it therefor most of the new joins/lower ranks dont even have the emails and also to access the email in marines you need the cac card to do so which has to be enabled through s-6

Post by: Gnar on Wednesday, July 11, 2012, 19:30:50 PM
Yea we had to go thru our G6 to get ours....I can log on both ways, which is great cause I'm too lazy to go spend the 30 bucks on a CAC reader that I will use maybe 3 times the entire time I own one. So I just change my pass everytime it expires. :)
