@LW : I dont think USMORS (http://www.usmors.org/) and MORS (your link) are affiliated with each other, at least not in any official, discerniable way (for me, that is).

The following is the Disclaimer taken right from the USMORS website.

Disclaimer
The United States Military Research Society (USMORS) is in no way affiliated with the US Government or any of its official agencies. Our activities in no way implies any sort of approval, endorsement, or authorization by the US Armed Forces or any other agency of the US Government.

And then there is the statement from the "Home" page (sorry no Header there except USMORS)

USMORS
The mission of the United States Military Operations Research Society is to enhance and expand the quality, availability, and usefulness of military operations research in developing, analyzing, and validating new revolutionary warfighting concerpts by probing potential warfare concepts for the 21st century.

Through a innovative process we provide for rapid turnaround of ideas and fully developed operational concepts in a dynamic manner that contributes directly to major US Dept of Defense programs and operational commands.


And the "About Us" Statement

About Us (USMORS)
USMORS is an independent, all volunteer, think-tank. Originally setup within a few days after the tragic events of Sept 11, 2001. (The USMORS is neither owned nor operated by any agency of the US Government.)

Our Mission.... To enhance and expand the quality, availability, and usefulness of military operations research in developing, analyzing, and validating new revolutionary warfighting concepts ...

Our Profile... as an independent, all volunteer group (of present and former members of the US Armed Forces), USMORS is the ideal clearinghouse for providing the most accurate analysis and solutions to the entire US Defense community...

Our Focus... Changing world conditions and US force levels, structure, and capability demand improvement in the ability to react globally...


Maybe its because I'm not a native speaker (in english), but somehow those three statements dont really match (for me).

Guess there are a few of us lurking outside the VMC harbour considering joining. So flushing is
just part of a recce. An attempt to get an inkling of whats on offer.

Paranoia about attacks and bashing the water just scares the fishes. Not good for business.

Just put it down to focused interest - funny that the reaction should be hide the silver, lock up your daughters
and hold on to your 'Precious things' * (League of Gentlemen)
:rotfl:

Now if I was recruiting badly needed players to swell the ranks, I'd take a very, very different line.

Guess its a good thing im not here to recruit right now. By all
means if you want to join the VMC then do so its a great group weve always got things going on. But dont join just to use the mod and from the line of comments and questions that are being made is not signifying any interest in the VMC only in the MOD if you on the fence about the VMC then ask questions about it not USMORS. And i will gladly answer them.

You see USMORS is not VMC just as VMC is not USMORS, Not to mention the fact that this is the DW forum and there is no USMORS mod for DW at this time.

So as far as questions about the VMC fire away and ill answer them all night long.

It jsut seems that it would have to be a hell of a coincidence taht all the sudden you claim interest in the VMC after just a few hours ago you were saying some semi negative things about it as an organization

Mmmm seems a bit Catch 22 'ish to me.

Like some secret society whose name is unmentionable.
doesnt sound like the statements of a perspective member to me.


ps:excuse the typos its late and im tired

Not to mention the fact that some how this topic has gotten way OT. this is supposed to be a place to interest people in using voice coms during MP. That is the reason i am paying for a server so that the DW/SC community can have a place to go and chat/use during missions.
