Don't know what you may define it as or if you have a large enough team but... I define Recon as prowling around the desert searching for enemies, reporting back to larger group who then attacks the enemy along with the recon team. Obviously you've never played a good desert or wood game with big teams. Also, some Army training.
Also, what does 17 have to do with trying to get onto a team? I'm honored you'd look at my profile but really.
