@LTC Brueske

I have completed my mission of providing urgent meme support to stranded Marine Raiders in the Omani desert: I want to make sure that everyone (except a certain SARC) knows this meme has the most lighthearted intent imaginable. Memes heal

It's just a meme, don't NJP me please.

The remarks here are from my own thoughts and ramblings that I feel I must express: Ladies and Gentlemen, I write to you with a heavy heart and a weariness that weighs deeply in my mind, and ask of you all to please stay calm and weather this storm of which few know, or believe they know, all of the truths and facts. I ask of you all to think before taking any drastic actions. We all here made this community together, each and everyone of us, whether you were an S-Shop member or just a grunt from back in the formation of the 13th, each and every person is responsible for the foundation of this group and should be proud of such a fact. Through the long nights and early mornings, we all worked, in each our own ways, to try to propel this unit off the ground and into a state that we can call a home for us, and as such I plead to all of you to not give up just yet. I understand everyone is tired, confused, angry, or all of the above, but I must ask, have we done everything we could? Have we tried to fix all of our problems before throwing in the towel to give up? How many attempted to open clear lines of proper communication? I do not side with one group who say they have been wronged, or another that say they were in the right. I side with the unit that I wasted my hours away at to provide every person here an enjoyable time, just as I know others have. Have we wasted our time? I believe only if we have given up, it was been all for naught. The point I am trying to make, is have you who have left, or are leaving, fought completely for what you think is correct? And those who are being held responsible, have you done your best to clarify and make amends? To those of you who feel they have no power or voice, I disagree. We all made this unit together, and together I feel things can be changed if you actively voice your opinions. Are we not all adults here? Can we not sit down and talk things out? Or must we all jump to rash conclusions and make choices we may regret? If there is one thing I know, it is that pettiness gets no one anywhere, so I must once again plead that we try to be adults about the entire situation, sit down, and talk to those that you feel need to be talked to without resorting to childish antics. I'm sorry if I wasted your time, or you disagree with me, however these are feelings I've been having without a way to express them. My final thoughts are as such, please think before acting. That goes to both parties in this situation. We didn't create this unit to tear each other apart or drift apart. We made this unit because we're all friends who just want to play games with each other, and I personally have made friends here for life, as have a majority of people here, and we should never forget that, no matter the cause of dispute. The boat sails on... Regards, Brian Specter

OFFICIAL CCTV STILL OF DISGRACED EX-HMCS HARRISON ON NIGHT OF 07MAY17

okay I sleep here you go nerds <3

Sgt Bohannon: Papa, 1, permission to repair and procure an enemy technical for transport? MSgt Carter: [Radio] Actual, this is Papa, Tac 1 wants to procure a technical, howcopy? Capt Kardnal: [Radio] Papa, be advised that Tac 2 has room in the MRAP, pile them in there. Demo the technical. MSgt Carter: [Radio] Copy. Looks like tac 1 just found their fifth guy, doesn't look like they can fit in the MRAP now due to numbers. Capt Kardnal: [Radio] Go ahead and remove demo then. MSgt Carter: [Radio] Copy. But be advised that 1 has now done the following: Placed demo on the vic, removed demo from the vic, put tires on the vic, put demo on the vic, and is now removing demo from the vic. So I'm just gonna give the vic to them at this point. Capt Kardnal: [Radio] Alternatively we could convert to Islam in field and leave the demo strapped on the vic. [DEAD AIR]

@GySgt Reeves zeusing last night

Since we as a unit get caught up in thinking about and dwelling on what we don't like, and what we have problems with, I thought it would be good to switch gears a bit. Posts and comments expressing gratitude for our fellow members and/or the things they do are only ever really put in discharge and retirement posts. So to make a small change from that the point of this thread is the following: Make a post expressing your gratitude for at least one person in this unit and/or the things they do. If you would like to include more than one person or event then feel more than welcome to do so. Further, I challenge every one in the unit to do this, so pass it along to your friends and subordinates. And if you read this at all, take the 3 minutes to make a quick reply thanking someone for something they have done. The only rule is that it must be members of the unit, past or present, and must be an expression of genuine thanks or appreciation. Everyone here has put in many hours of time and work to this unit and it is rarely appreciated. Show some love to one-another. I'll start at the top and work my way down. (I'm quite bad at compliments and gratitude, so forgive me if some of my wording sounds jankey or I repeat phrases or whatever ) To my fellow CS members: @Maj Makowski @Maj Ray @CW4 Whelan @HMCS (FMF) Parker @SSgt McCelvy Thank you all for being the most driven and truth-focused group of individuals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. The argumentative ability of the five of you is fantastic. They way you all constantly search for the right thing and for what is best, even though we often disagree on those points, is what continues to drive this unit to be a better place. I also love how we can continue to work very well with each-other even when we are are sometimes at each-other's throats every other day. I couldn't ask for a better group of people to work besides on CS. Thank you. To my Company Commander: @Maj Makowski Thank you for being an outstanding example of what it means to be a leader. Thank you for leading this unit and putting up with crap that no-one should have to. You are a much stronger man than I; I could not do what you do on a day to day basis. Thank you for the hours and hours of your personal time and energy you dedicate to making the unit a better place. To trying to fix the problems and make it an enjoyable experience for everyone. Thank you for maintaining and striving for a professionalism in this unit that has been sorely lacking for a long time. Even small things like going that extra mile for immersive comments in game go a long way. The unit could not be where it is today, and that is decidedly a good thing, without you. I couldn't ask for a better person to lead us going forward into the future. You are very much appreciated. To my Team Chief: @Sgt DelPercio Thank you for being focused and working hard towards excellence, both in yourself and for the team. You dedicate countless hours of time to be there and have a presence with our guys when I have been unable to. You have taken it upon yourself to embody the professionalism that I have wanted the MSOT to strive towards for a long time. You have stepped into your role and have filled it better than I could have possibly hoped for. You've helped me get back into my role as a Team Leader at a time where I was really starting to fade. I'm in your debt. Also, thanks for hounding me relentlessly about Sniper School. It wouldn't have gotten done without you. Thanks you a ton, and keep up the excellent work. To my Team Ops Chief: @Cpl Wilson Thank you for making yourself an outstanding addition to the HQ element. You have dutifully done the administrative assignments given to you and have demonstrated an excellent prowess in in-game ability in combat and in tactics. I'm very glad to be working alongside you and am excited to get to know you better going forward. To my (Former) Team SARC: @HM2 (FMF) Kakta Thank you for being a fantastic friend and a superb adviser. I've rarely met someone as aware of the reality of situations and able to advise on them, as you. Your insight and suggestions have been invaluable over the time that you've been in the unit. Similar to Del, you have really helped me get back into what I'm doing as a TL and love it again. In Team HQ you stepped up and did more than could be reasonably asked of you, doing administrative work, attending element events, and throwing yourself into the role of wanting to help the MSOT and the individuals in it, as much as you possibly could. You are fantastic Kakta. Good luck with Boot Camp and I hope you're back soon. To my Legion 1 EL: @LCpl Zietara Thank you for being an excellent individual all-around. You have a level of professionalism and charisma with your subordinates, and with your CoC, that I have not witnessed in a long time. Thank you for the energy and time you dedicate to the unit and to your element and MSOT. Legion 1 has made massive strides with you in-charge and you have set us up on a great path going forward. Keep going and keep being awesome. To My Legion 2 EL: @SSgt Edwards Thank you for being a solid beacon of stability and professionalism in the MSOT and in the unit. You have dedicated countless hours to the everyday running of the unit and you have filled your role as an EL exponentially more than required. You have remained in your position for a long time, happily content to keep doing what you are doing, and that attitude has made you one of the best at what you do. You are the epitome of an upstanding, straightforward, and caring man. Thank you for doing what you are doing and for sticking with it. Legion, and the 3d, would not be what it is today without you. To the rest of my team: There's too many of you to list I couldn't ask for a better group of guys to work with. You all have been the most enjoyable group I've had the opportunity to work with since the early days of the 13th and the 506th. Though you all can be rambunctious and unprofessional at times and make me want to pull my hair out , you have all been able to fall in line during official events and have been willing and able to learn. Thank you for listening to me rant about stupid combat basics and whatnot every training. Keep up the great work all of you. To S-1: Thank you for keeping the administrative side of the unit up and running. Those of you (crazy) people who actually enjoy administrative work have my respect. And those of you who don't enjoy it, but keep doing it to keep the unit running have my eternal gratitude. To S-2: Thank you for putting in your time and effort into the deployments. Though we have a long way to go still and people are very frequently critical and ungrateful for all that you do, we could not have a unit without you guys. It can be a fun job, but I'm aware that it is also quite taxing. So thank you for putting in the time and energy, even when people are ungrateful, to keep it going. To S-3: Thank you for taking many many hours out of your week to train the unit through everything from A&S to the FTX cycles. That takes a tremendous amount of time and effort and it is often gone very unnoticed. Thank you for putting in that effort even when it is not all that apparent that the unit cares. To S-4: Thank you for doing the most confusing and difficult job available in the unit. Arma is a pain in the butt and you guys somehow make it work so we can all play this game. You are all outstanding people. Keep it up. To S-5: Thank you for keeping people coming in the door. Marketing and Public Relations are what keep the unit having people to play with. So thank you. To Aviation: @LTC Brueske You guys have a very thankless job; sitting around being bored and watching Netflix during operations. But thank you so much all the same. Our ability to operate in-game would be drastically limited without you all and your endurance, or just sick ability to enjoy doing nothing, is a benefit to the entire unit. Also when you guys blow stuff up it's pretty awesome To @Maj Ray You've been my longest standing friend in the unit. Further, you were the first friend I ever made back in the 506th. I've worked with you for years now and I've never met someone so dedicated. In every position you've held you have inspired those around you and have made that part of the unit a better place. Also, incase you were oblivious to the fact that you have now become and icon and a role model for the entire unit, uh you are one. The unit, and the people in it (especially me) are far better off by your being here. You are one of the most dedicated and caring people I've ever met and I've never seen anyone as able to put up with crap being chucked at his face as you. From your job to your work in the unit you get the short end of the stick and I am sorry. Because if there is one person who deserves to be happy and appreciated for everything you do, its you. Thank you for putting up with my shit the last three years. Thanks for always being there for me. Thank you for being one of the greatest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Keep being awesome. I'll come back and add another reply later because I have to go run some errands and there are plenty of people I have left out who I want to thank. But for now, all of you please follow suite and express your gratitude for at least one other person and what they do in the unit. -Hart

Miro Kuparr Georgetown, Tanoa 27th March 2018 Hey China, Exit Stage Left For the first time since World War II, Tanoans experienced the ruinous and malignant nature of conflict. 2016 saw a joint military exercise descend into a short war as China instigated a fight with its participants, namely the United States -- an unprecedented and unexpected move with the intent of seizing Tanoa for themselves. If not for the United States, the Horizon Islands would be in the hands of a malevolent and malicious entity, yet China has decided to repay such devastation with benign intent; the reconstruction of our roads, our bridges, our railways, and more according to this article by the Grand Central Times. It is time for us to rebuild, and it is time for China to leave. China has opened a wound that is not easily mended by rebuilding our home. In fact, it opens the wound further. While some may find this act in good faith, many do not. This is a blatant attempt by the Chinese government to preserve its unequivocally outstanding image and prove to the rest of the world that their intentions were to never cause chaos. They have shattered our trust and they most certainly do not belong in the country. Would a bully who inflicted damages to one’s body be responsible for providing the casts and medicine? No. The Horizon Islands are by no means economically prosperous, and by no means does it have the same amount of resources other nations might, but what we do have is a population willing to labor for the sake of the country. The United States has pledged a significant amount of money in order to assist in the rebuilding process, and with that in mind, the employment of natives would only bolster the economy and more importantly the morale of those being employed. We need not the help of our enemy, but the sweat and blood of our people making an effort to change. Consider for a moment why China has displayed a profound interest in Tanoa and the Horizon Islands as a whole. The islands are home to several mines that contain rare earth metals that are not frequently found in other places. These metals have various applications, but here are some of the more utilized: Scandium - aerospace frameworks, high-intensity lighting, and global telecommunication equipment Gadolinium - used in magnets, computers, and specialty optics Yttrium, Terbium, and Europium - used in computer screens and other devices with visual displays. Each of the elements listed can be found in the Horizon Islands, especially on Tanoa. Each of the elements listed has a military application. Why else would this superpower return after being bested by the United States if not to exploit the mines covertly? While this may seem speculative and may seem like a conspiracy, it is the only logical conclusion one can come to. If China has returned with the intent of using the mines, then it is indisputably time for China to leave. Tanoa does not need their aid and it does not need to remain vigilant to ensure that this entity is not siphoning the resources the islands desperately need to resuscitate the economy. China has dismantled this country enough as it is -- the door is open, and it is ready to hit them on the way out.

Greetings E-Warriors. So I'm kinda geeking out right now. I was just checking out the art gallery in the new ArmA III DLC and I found a picture that looked super familiar to me. THEY ACTUALLY USED MY SCREENSHOT IN THE DLC AND I AM SO ECSTATIC. The placard next to it is something they wrote themselves and that I didn't have any input for but it's still fucking baller to me that I got included in a DLC in a game I enjoy heavily. Now my name and my screenshot are apart of ArmA lore.
