Real name: Larry

Nickname: Old Shadow

Born: 1950 in Darlington, South Carolina, USA

Personal Data: I recently retired as a Sergeant Major from the US Army after 28 years.  That service included 3 years in Special Operations Command (SOCOM), 14 years in infantry / light infantry units, and 8 years as a military instructor at different levels.  I also served in Viet Nam as a young kid.  I currently teach at a high school and coach football and basketball.  Relaxation for me is on-line gaming, reading, camping, and computers.

Online Data:  I purchased the first Delta Force game years ago and became hooked.  Every time a new DF game came out, I was in line to get it.  I played every level and then got into online gaming with the i4 group (Tomcat, Tarty, Snowy, Baldy, Buckshee, Banshee, etc).  It was great to work with guys who enjoyed the team concept and try to avoid the "run and gun" types.  I later became a member of Reality Friends who set up a clan for select individuals who shared the same theories of team play.  I have enjoyed every minute of it.  Theo, Mike, and Rich have become close friends as well as fellow gamers.  I have also tried Medal of Honor, Rainbow 6-3, Americas Army, and SOCOM.  I just really enjoy Joint Ops.
