Took a few hours off work this morning to attend a memorial service for students who died during my school years. It was a time of revolt and rebellion against the Apartheid South Africa that existed until Nelson Mandela was released. Many of us never saw the footage, and they showed it during the event today.

I know our current Government is struggling to deliver and get rid of corruption, etc, but I would never want things to be like they were back then. https://youtu.be/KnWu4lAKDj0

We had barely met and there we were suiting up and using our limited funds to buy guns, ammo and gear for the mission we'd been thrust into. It wasn't an honour we'd earned. Others had died, we were next. There were no reinforcements. Nobody was coming to save us. In fact, quite the opposite was true. We were going in to rescue a squad who were sheltered and taking fire. They had sustained heavy losses and couldn't hang on much longer. We headed purposefully down the streets, checking our guns and making sure we had our grenades and medpacks on standby. It was brutal, but we made it to the rendezvous, battling past waves of patrols sent to stop us. We were in trouble, but there was always a teammate to lend a hand or a hail of bullets. Somehow we made it. Learning to watch our for each other and keeping a wary eye out for signs of sniper activity. We scavenged more ammo and m

Just Picked up The Division for the FPS Evenings.  Don't know too much about it.  Do I keep a character for those evenings or do we just all jump in at different levels?  Knowing my Internet, its probably going to download for 3 days ;( Edit: I deselected the PTS download.  I guess that's optional.  So maybe can play tomorrow night (Monday).
