ATO- TW's Newest Division

For those that know me, I have  been around for a long time. I got recruited playing Far Cry 2 for the XBox 360 back in 2008. I have been in and out of TG for over 14 years, and this community is and has been more than friends, it has been family. I have been many positions including the DO of Gears of War (which was the division I was with for probably 4 years of my TG career). My last major stint with TG ended up being with the Destiny Division. I asked for a HD because as most of us do, we get burnt out. My good friend @Typicalveteran- pm'ed one day last year and got me back by pitching Escape from Tarkov. For those that don't know Vet, he could sell snow to an Eskimo. I left Tarkov to pursue this amazing idea that TG has never done, a division where games are birthed and where games also come to die. So long story short the Vanguard was created. We started the Vanguard with Outriders, SW Squadrons, and I believe Halo with 3 or 4 people. After a bit I was promoted to BGC. I was given a task to make Halo a division again from Vet. Keep in mind this was no easy task. However we did it! Of all  the years and things I have done, this was the most gratifying moment of my TW/TG career. To see something grow from nothing to a division has been amazing. I have had the best staff I have ever worked with. From Battalion all the way down to squads. @TG Datdamsniper and @TG Schmitty, you two are two of the most amazing TG friends I have ever had as well the best partners I have had the opportunity to work with. I want to thank you both for all of your hard work. @TG Schmitty I am sure you will continue to work and make Halo grow. @TG Datdamsniper I am happy you are staying to continue in Vanguard, and hopefully we can continue our work and keep the culture we have created. @TG Shaumarai (I'll see you at Distill XD) and @TG T1ger you two are amazing and have been the backbone for 1st Battalion. @TheHal09uy and @Savior Self IRL, Schmitty has done nothing but talk about great things about you two and I am positive you will grow 2nd Batt. As for all the squad members, we couldn't have done this without you all. I want to thank you all for your hard work, showing up for practices, and even though I am trash letting me get kills on you even when you were carrying me 95% of the time. @TG HSquared and @TG HaloHobo thank you both for the guidance and advice you both gave me to help me as well as the friendships you two have given me to help achieve this moment of awesomeness. Ok so now to the good stuff

 

 

To all who shall see these presents, greeting: Know Ye, that reposing special trust and confidence in the fidelity and abilities of

 

@TG Shaumarai and @TG T1ger

 

From @TG Datdamsniper had some kind words for the 1st Batt SS."@TG Shaumarai's dossier may read six years with Tactical Gaming as of this month,  but he has spent much more time with the Halo Division going back to the Tactical Warfare days when Halo was one of the largest divisions, and throughout those years his dedication to the Halo has never waivered.  He has spent a large majority of his time in a staffing positions and all of his time in game teaching those hard to hit jumps,  and callouts of all of the maps.  Helping fellow teammates elevate their skill and gameplay.  TG Shaumarai has been with the Halo squads from some of the highest highs to some of the lowest lows,  but he has always been reliable to stay strong, rebuild and strengthen his squads and members. This is but a small thanks for his dedication and commitment to the Halo squads and to the future of the Halo Division. When reading over the Commander's award description "recognizing an individual  exemplary behavior, efficiency, and fidelity in influencing the evolution, advancement, and well being of his or her Tactical Warfare Battalion" I could think of no one else,  but @TG T1ger.  T1ger has shown dedication and commitment to his role of Squad Assistant since December of 2020 and throughout that period he was always reliable in getting the PB, PPR and ATS reporting done in a timely manner ensuring that his squad members received the proper credit for practices along with his dedication to attending practices and building the Halo Division.  I look forward to seeing what TG T1ger achieves in his new role as Squad Lead of Pandemic

@ItzBeeDee

 

@TG Schmitty had something to say, "Beedee has been with or a part of Halo for most of his 10 years in TG. Whenever SS were unable to make practice, he has covered for SS by running practice and even writing up PPR's. His competitive drive helps bring the best out in us while playing and was a part in helping with getting callouts setup. He is always at practice and a lot of times beats SS to the chat and makes sure to remind them he beat them too 😛 Beedee has been the glue to our battalion and without people like him, this transition to our own division would never have happened!"

@TheHal09uy

 

"Halo guy stepped up for us when the need for SS arose. He took the role on and has been such an asset to our battalion. Through his leadership, he helped devise Youtube videos to go over callouts for each map and advise us all of any changes in game or coming soon to the game. Halo Guy has done a great job in catering to the competitive members of our battalion along with those who just enjoy playing the game with each other to help us grow and succeed to where we are today and improving for the future!" - @TG Schmitty
