Aah, I can't do it anymore. Enough lame PTSD stuff.
A-stan, 2006. We used to network our laptops together and play "Battlefield II" at night during the "Sorry, uh, you guys can't work right now." periods of a couple of days between missions. It was only for an hour or two once a month (more during the end of the deployment), but it was hella fun.
I think the gamer vocabulary is something you develop as a civilian playing games. Soldiers don't use such things. They use real army vocab. We always used army slang to describe the situations developing in the game.
Kinda easy to do since we did all that stuff in real life. Running, shooting and not hitting shit, hiding in FOBs, etc.
Ya know... except respawn after we got blown to bits by an IED.
...
Lame answer but I hope it helps.
