you assign your children an order of march and get infuriated when they dont adopt a staggered column

When you are interupted during a conversation, you tell them to "Stay off Side"

You always run instead of walking.

You're often tempted to say "roger that" or "copy" in out-of-arma conversations.

When your first thought to this is "010692 is in the ocean."

your wife keeps asking you who "wilco", "roger" and "oscar mike" are

she then assumes you are having a gay relationship with the aforementioned people

When you push F for flashlight (was more of a CSS thing, but I've definitely done it.

For ArmA2?

Holding Ctrl (my PTT key) while on the phone, or talking to someone in the room (happens all the time, its annoying especially if I'm actually on team speak as well).

Swinging the mouse round as well as moving around when I want to face someone in the room (as the screen is my point of view... damn I need TrackIR).

You recognise all the vehicles in ArmA2 IRL and name all their statistics, and people think your a nut.

Always view fuel stations as highly explosive, and see cars that hit pot holes as about to explode (had both thoughts ;P).

Um...

Doing (target indication) contact drills with a driving instructor for civilians... hey he wanted me to let him know, after clock directions failed, I just used the commonwealth Front LEFT etc, no compass

. I also stopped yelling after the first time.

Better yet, and more often for me, missions I haven't played; yet still in ArmA2.

I actually always do say roger and copy in conversations, its... normal for me now (lol!).

Maybe more to come as I progress through the week xD.

EDIT: Just happened to me today:

Looked out side to make sure HDR is really not that bad.

When someone calls out a grid and you know where it is without looking at the map. AND can walk there with only the compass

When your Wife tells you to "Get behind cover before you get shot. You just dont listen. Everyone else is behind a tree......."

Haha, both my Parents know what Oscar Mike is, I've gotten them to start using the clock system of pointing things out, and my Dad watched Generation Kill, so he gets most of the lingo.

You know you've been playing too much ArmA2 when you fly over a city ingame and can name it just by the layout of the buildings, and get flashbacks to firefights you've had there.

On that note, I've had awful thoughts/dreams after on a patrol with my own clan. We'd just had a huge fire fight with a bunch of Ruski's, said Ruskies surrendered, we had about 8 of them to 10 of us, and no way to move them, take them back to base, nothing. They grouped into a huddle, we surrounded them (ie defensive circle). We had no options... none. So I ordered their shooting... most traumatic thing I've seen, if you've seen Band of Brothers Crossroads, where Winters shoots the boy, it looked like that * 8. They were all crouched, and just keeled over. Executed.

The sight has stuck with me... 4months now? (FYI I'm not actually affected by it, but I do remember it :P)
