Greetings from the Crossroads of America!

[fbcballer]

Greetings from the Crossroads of America. I'm James, I'm 28 (old i know), I live in the Indianapolis Metropolitan area, and work full time in law enforcement. I own a small tech business on the side that affords me the opportunity to mess with technology. I love all things tech and I love gaming.

However I will admit I'm mostly a PC guy (please dont hate me! ha!) and have been since i was 12. Last console I owned was a Sega system with the Sega CD add on. However this past Black Friday, Game Stop ran a kick butt deal on an xbox bundle so I took the bait and got one. I am really new to FPS, however I did play BF3 on the PC and really enjoyed it. Definitely the controls on the xbox are different and not struggling to adjust.

Working in law enforcement my work rotation changes constantly, however I will be as active as I possibly can, but when making the choice between maintaining a place to live, and gaming, I'm obviously going to choose a place to live ha!

I'm hoping to be accepted into the group and be mentored by folks who are much better at FPS and can assist this N00b into becoming a killing machine in FPS. I've mostly played RPG's or Single Player type games like Need For Speed Most Wanted, Assassians Creed 3, Final Fantasy 13-2 (all on xbox), Command and Conquer Series, Red Alert Series, Sim City, Flight Sim, Age of Empires, Civilization 5 (all on PC).

So ya. I'm a pretty open book, no-nonsense, straight to the point, don't bs around kinda guy who is wanting to get better at FPS. Look forward to meeting and chatting with you guys soon!

Regards,
FBC

I work in the communications center as a senior Fire/EMS Communications Officer as well as CTO, Quality Assurance Agent, and all around go to person for when our CAD has an issue and IT doesn't feel like fixing it. However, I am hoping to have a change of career here soon and I'll be working in the tech field where my heart and passion lay.

[likethegun]

very nice! Our jobs sound similiar although I have only been working the fire/ems/law communications for about 2 years. What CAD does your center use? We use spillman.

We have to use two CADs at the moment because we just went through a consolidation and merger process with our other two centers in the area. We currently use New World Systems and Sunguard OSSI. (Personally both of them stink, however they both have good parts that I wish I could gut and create a new CAD with.)

[CAG CheechDogg]

These CAD systems are not the same as Auto-CAD are they that we use for drafting?

But great intro fbcballer , like I said on your application, good to see more older gamers coming around. You should have no problem here with your schedule, we understand people have families, jobs, lives outside of gaming that is why I think CAG is a great Clan to be a part of.

I myself have a 12 year old Son who is also in the clan, CAG StewieShotU and I work in web design so I am pretty busy at times myself. But I have put together a very good leadership staff here for CAG and they are making sure things run smoothly.

Shit where are my manners! Welcome to our website and forums fbcballer , glad to have you on board!

No Sir they wouldn't be the same as Auto-Cads Computer Aided Dispatch. Web Design eh? I own a web hosting business outside of my full time work

Glad to see the clan has been around for a while. Hard to find good established clans.

[CAG CheechDogg]

Ah shit cool ...I can only imagine how that CAD works!

Oh so you have a web hosting business? What type of servers do you run? And how big is your business?
