If that's not enough to get your signature on a tour of duty, there's a bank of 80 custom-made over-clocked Alienware PCs and Xbox 360s hosting Ghost Recon, Call of Duty 3 and America's Army: True Soldiers, the official game of US forces.

Visitors can role-play as soldiers, using mission simulations, Army officials said. During a visit, soldiers will lead visitors through Army equipment simulators, interactive installations and online education programs. Exhibits include a command and control center, where high-tech briefings are conducted; an interactive career center for exploring the more than 150 Army careers; and simulations of an Apache helicopter, a Black Hawk helicopter and armored Humvee vehicle.
Also available are gaming areas that feature Xbox 360 pods, networked PCs for gaming via a local area network and games that include Americas Army, the Armys official game.
The Army is a learning organization that constantly strives to improve its operations, and weve found that virtual experiences are an effective way to communicate the value of Army service, said Edward Walters, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for recruiting and retention.

I wouldn’t mind checking out that Apache simulator! Anyone remember Microprose’s Gunship? I was totally addicted to that game! Still, it took me 5 months to get the CMOH, LOL!
"The Army has invested about $12 million into the project, which includes the cost of renting the 14,500-square-foot facility for two years and creating content for the site..."
