Damn we've come a long way....

I got a little trivial tonight, waiting for the TV to get freed up for my game time. I went and looked at some old bookmarks and found the old clan website listed there. All I can say is the current clan site is a work of art, especially when you compare it to what we started out with:

http://usmilitarygamers.webs.com/

And beyond that, I went back and revisited the first USMG recruitment thread I ever saw (posted by TLOG, a.k.a. Pakman3000, on July 30th, 2009 on the Killzone 2 forums (http://community.killzone.com/t5/Clans/US-Military-Gamers-Recruiting-Multiplatform/m-p/311458)):

[Azurop]

[NwG_SnakeEyes]

You guys have come a long way from your original days by looking at the links. I'm glad I found you all and am proud to be a member of this community!

[sirjohnathon]

It kind of is amazing to think a "gamer group" has not only stayed around, but is healthy and continues to grow after almost 4 years. Congrats to all.

[Lanzer]

That's the end of the average term of service, are we going to re-up another 4? Hahaha :-D

[iamthesgt]

I joined around 2011 wanting to play CoD with more than just randoms (boy how stupid was I back then! :p). Just found the site through Google and I'm glad I did....though some people are probably less than pleased that I've stuck around this long...:cool:

[TrillVilleN1]

For a sec I thought I was reading a new thread, haha.

That's pretty cool we were on OXM. How were we featured on it?

It was a write up about different clans. I think 5 were featured. I joined right after it published but because of a BF forum I was browsing. I found out about the article on here and then had to go look it up.

Yep! I got about 5 months to go to be a veteran

[JTFRYE]

I've been here since 2010 and it's been a blast the whole time. Y'all have kept it real and still do to this day.
