Attn all;

I'm sure some of you will have seen the Re-enlistment of Major General Grgich, and wonder what the situation may be - or why they have been dropped back in as an Aide, or as a Colonel. There will be rumours of 'favouritism' or 'boys-club'. This post, is to add some transparency to the mix, and provide insight into what the discussion has been within Regimental HQ.

The 7th Cavalry has had a very large Arma contingent for almost 15 years, and until recently had been over 50% of the combined membership of the 7th Cavalry for over half of that time. Arma 2 was where I joined this place, and I've taken up almost every MOS within 1st Battalion at some point or another. After we moved to Arma 3 shortly after it's release, the Cav has been through unprecedented changes, some good, some bad. But ultimately, resulting in what the unit is today. To say that Arma has not had a tremendous impact on this place is undervaluing it at best. However things change, and Arma 3 has slowly started to become a niche in the internet. It's almost 10 years old at this point, and is showing its age. 1st Battalion is still going strong, but we all know it's getting old as a game now. But lately, we've seen some great news put out by the developers. Simply put, Arma 4 is on the horizon.

In the next 1-2 years, we expect the release of Arma 4. With it, we will usher in a brand new age for Arma within not only the 7th Cavalry, but the gaming community as a whole. It is my objective, to make the 7th Cavalry the Best Damn Community on the Internet with regards to Arma MILSIM. However to achieve this, I want to be hands on with the preperations, and ensure that the 7th Cavalry is in the best position possible to capitalise on the release of Arma 4 when it comes out. That brings us to now, and the re-enlistment.

In the lifetime of 1st Battalion...

I'd like to be the first to congratulate the original 5 members of the DCS start-up:

• Corporal Ryan Langlois
• Corporal Jason Swagger
• Corporal Bill Rock
• Specialist James Caliber

They've done an outstanding job, reaching almost 25 members in less than a few months. They will be transfering to the new Company, Alpha/Auxiliary Combat Detatchment (A/ACD-7), later this week.

Internal transfers within the 7th Cavalry are also now open. File a transfer PAF as usual, and it will be handled by the ACD Command staff, Lieutenant Colonel Steve Rogers and Major Derek Budd.
