    Tell us a little about yourself.  - I'm David Sklenar, 18 years old and from the Czech Republic, and I am a hardcore gamer! I'm currently studying Engineering, and in January I'll start a process to hopefully get into the position of ATC (Air Traffic Controller) after I finish school.

    What is your favorite aspect of the unit? - Definitely the atmosphere, I found alot of cool friends that I haven't found in over 6-ish years in other gaming communities.

    Any favorite/funny/memorable moment throughout your whole time in the unit? - I can't really say that I have any Favorite moment, each moment is special to me in it's own way.

    Any advice to give to your fellow soldiers? - Have patience, it's always rewarding, especially in this unit.

    What army value is the most important to you and why? - Loyalty all the way. If you are Loyal, you can expect to be rewarded sooner or later.

    Any valuable lessons you have learned while being in the unit? - Too many to list, most of them are personal. But aside from that I would say that this unit built up my confidence, especially when it comes to English. As a non-native speaker I was always nervous when speaking to a native speaker.
