I have attempted to present various military Role Plays over the past five or more years and have experienced varied responses. It is my favorite subject, I enjoy reading and writing about. I have had an interest in the military all of my life, I am a veteran and can generate material from several resources to write about for my posts as well as personal experiences.

If you share this interest with me, please post here or send a PM with an idea of what you would like to write about. I can cover historical fictions, present day, the not so distant future, fantasy and science fiction. Even a post apocalyptic setting with a military theme is appealing.

Share your ideas and we can discuss in PM how to work them into an RP. I can work with dialogue, personal accounts, small unit tactics (squad, platoon, company and battalion), Brigade and division operations or strategies at the Corps, Army or higher level. If you would like to work with naval or air units that is acceptable too. I am open to discussion. I don't mind if we deal with inexperienced, experienced, veterans or elite personnel. I can accommodate either request.

Also, if you would like to do a 1x1 with just two "Joes". We could do a slice of life for two veterans that have been off active duty for some time and having to deal with physical or psychological issues related to a combat tour. What about the idea of Role Playing a military academy like West Point, Sandhurst or the Citadel; fictitious school of course. Then have some plot going on at the school. That is fine also. Not a big fan of the Prisoner of War (PW) concept, but other than that, I am open to just about anything even steam punk.

Send a PM or post an idea here. I prefer advanced settings, but also participate in casual. I do not have the luxury to sit at my computer with enough frequency for free play.

If you are looking at this and know of an active military role play you believe I may be interested in, send me a PM with a link and I'll check it out.

Thanks for reading and send me your thoughts.

Interested. Could write a corpsman or something perhaps. Haven't done any hard military stuff and I'm POG as fuck (and in the Navy for that matter), so I'd need some learnin'. I'd be down for some not-so-distant future stuff. War with China from the perspective on the ground?

May I offer a suggestion? About a year ago, I created an RP about a Private Military Corporation called "Alamo Scouts". It is set in the "not too distant future"; and loosely based on the video game Call of Duty: Advanced Warfighter. I ask for non-canonical characters and intent on using the COD;AW weapons and equipment as well as organizations used in the video game. The name Alamo Scouts is based on the WWII unit, 6th Army Special Reconnaissance Unit, which operated out of Australia and performed similar operations into the Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO). This RP is an example of borrowing lessons from the past and thrusting them slightly into the future using a quasi science fiction setting based on theoretical technology of today. Below, in the hider is the In Character post I wrote up about Alamo Scouts. This seems to fill the idea @NickTrano came up with.

I may just run with Alamo Scouts. It appears that four people are interested in that one. I will probably do the overview sequences rather than RP a character in an R&S teams; paint the scene, RP the bad guys and move a scene forward if it stalls. We may pick up a few more people once it is in OOC format. I'll go with Casual (Advanced) so you can do one paragraph posts or larger if needed. 6-8 is ideal, but four is cozy. Expect the OOC to be posted by Friday. Tues, Wed and Thurs are my busy days. I am more active Fri - Mon.

You don't want to role play West Point. I can confirm it's just a lot of homework and masturbating.

You also don't want to RP Afghanistan or Iraq. It's a lot of angsty masturbating and staring at goats. Angstily.

If you two are interested, I posted an RP called Alamo Scouts, Inc. It is a PMC based loosely on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
I never made it to Afghanistan, I got out before that got really hot. I was Preparing to go to Bosnia when the WTC got hit and in country when the Special guys went in to help the Northern Alliance. Instead of The Long Gray Line, the school for boys on the Hudson or Willy Peter, I went to OCS. Any real world experience y'all have would be appreciated. :D

I just tell girls at parties that I go to the South Hudson Institute of Technology and they think I'm real smart.

Props to OCS though, my dad did the same thing with the Navy.
