What It's Like To Be...
Squad Leader for an ST squad
Hello TG and welcome to the eleventh episode of a this series. In this series, titled 'What It's Like To Be..", I will be interviewing members of TG throughout the ranks, ranging from squad member right up to the CoC. As well as interviewing CoC members, i will also be taking the chance to interview certain members in support positions. This series will be published on a monthly basis.
Today I had some pleasure of interviewing a former Battlefield colleague, TG White Shade, Squad Leader of DeathDealers(ST) of the Battlefield Division.
TG SmokeyB: What attracted you to this position?
TG White Shade: After my transition from the 360 Brigade to XB1, I went from a CO to a squad member. This was initially a nice break but I wanted to get back into a leadership position and run a squad the way I prefer.
TG SmokeyB: You've been in your position of Squad Leader since 2017. What is the main reason for staying in the position?
TG White Shade: The main thing that keeps me around is my fantastic SA and squad members. Death Dealers has been a dream squad for me and I could not pick a better group of guys to spend time with every week.
TG SmokeyB: Can you tell us the best highlight while serving as a SL?
TH White Shade: It's hard to highlight one thing but my squad talked me into trying out my hand at sniping and now it's my favorite class to use.
TG SmokeyB: What attracted you to TG when you first joined?
TG White Shade: Back in college I found myself with extra time on my hands and was approached by a couple TG members looking for recruits. The idea of taking my gaming to the next level intrigued me so i joined. I could not be happier with that decision.
TG SmokeyB: I imagine you are busy with been a Squad Leader. What is it about being a SL that you love?
TG White Shade: Being an SL isn't actually all that much work haha. My SA does a fantastic job of helping me with all paperwork and we get along very well. What I love most about my job is always hopping online and having some of my squad members on for some gaming after a long day of work. We are constantly laughing and having a genuinely great time.
TG SmokeyB: Can you tell me a little more about your TG history?
TG White Shade: Quick overview would look like this:
BLACKJACK IN 360
DEVIL CATS SM 360
GOLDEN EAGLES SM 360
BULLDOGS SA 360
BULLDOGS SL 360
XO 360
CO 360
TOMCATS SM XB1
DEATHD DEALERS SL
And now being an SL is perfectly fine for me.
TG SmokeyB: If you could change one thing in TG, what would it be?
TG White Shade: I would change the language regulations, haha. I have a squad full of men older than me (I'm 26) and I often have to remind people not to swear during practice.
TG SmokeyB: Just for fun. If you where having your last meal tomorrow, what would it be?
TG White Shade: Tongue tacos with Beef tartare on the side!
I personally have no idea what that food is, but fair enough! Ha.
Many thanks to @TG White Shade for taking part in this series.
Stayed tuned for another episode in a months time!
