Here's an interesting read about the Army's renewed efforts towards integrating more video game technology into their training simulators..

If they ever did come out with a perfect sim, I would try to get my hands on it. Although it would probably be expensive just like VBS2.

Hope they hire out civilians, with some level of security for sure, maybe some level of development or testing. I wouldn't mind doing some testing, hehe. Serve my country in that regards, if that even counts. Serve my fellow gamers and clans out there. As long as I get to sport the flag and get paid a little - food and drink - MREs. I'll be content.

Interesting article, thanks.

TPO Gaming is creating an Army simulation tool kit that allows users to build and customize their own training scenarios without needing a contractor to do it for them. “We will empower that soldier to build his own scenario rapidly so he can train for his specified task,”

This sounds like it is something that would vastly improve specialized training and also be really fun!
