Age: 31 First Name: Matt Last Name: Morales Steam Name: AvengingAvacyn Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/rabidrabbitx/ ArmA III Player ID: 76561198012509271 Desired Duty Assignment: SARC (Reserve) How Long have you been playing ArmA III: Since around 2016ish or 2017ish, I think. Most of it was with 3d MRB, which I originally joined back in 2017 and have been in a couple of times since. Do you own Arma 3 Apex DLC? (Unit Requirement): Yes Availability (Sunday/Saturday/Both): Both How did you find out about our unit? I found out about this unit through old friends on another game. It was because of them that I originally joined this unit, but real life hit later and I simply couldn't find time to play much anymore. If you were recruited by one of our members, who was it? Originally, it was HM3 Felix, who is long retired now. Why do you want to join the 3rd Marine Raider Battalion? I had a lot of fun with this unit the last couple of times I've been in it. I like the organization of the unit and the types of missions that are portrayed. I have a lot of fun roleplaying a SARC and it helps take my mind off real life responsibilities for a much needed break. I also enjoy the mix of Marine Corps and Navy that this unit offers. Although real life is very hectic for me with my current job in law enforcement, I would really like to come back as Reserve and hop on as an extra body when people need the help. Do you understand the definition of realism gaming according to the 3d MRB and willing to abide by this game style? Yes Do you understand this unit is EST(GMT -5) time zoned based. Operations take place on Saturday at 1500 EST and Sunday at 2000 EST. Yes

Melodie Snarr U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Special Operations Command U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Special Operations Command celebrated its 13th anniversary on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C., Feb. 21, 2019. The anniversary event included a battle colors rededication ceremony to recognize some of the collective achievements by the service component. The commander, Maj. Gen. Daniel D. Yoo also recognized Marines and Sailors for their exemplary performance. Since the unit’s inception, Raiders, a name adopted in 2015 in recognition of their forbearers, have earned more than 300 valor awards. Raiders have found themselves in 17 countries to conduct more than 300 operational deployments, ranging from 14-man Marine Special Operations Teams, to Combined Joint Special Operations Task Forces overseeing American and coalition special operations forces; a scalable force, much like their conventional Marine brethren. The organization has paid a high price for the victories it has achieved. The youngest and smallest of the DOD’s special operations forces, they have lost 43 souls in combat and in training, to include two multipurpose canines. "

Oooooo shiny

Some real SARC videos.

Good to see you're still going strong.

Yesssss

I really enjoy the new theme, but is there any way we can get a classic MARPAT one? A lot of us really like the MARPAT style.

Exactly two years ago on March 10th, 2015, seven Marine Raiders (MSOT 8231) and four Army National Guard soldiers were killed in a training accident. " Please join us as we honor and remember Captain Stanford Henry Shaw III, Master Sergeant Thomas A. Saunders, Staff Sergeant Marcus S. Bawol, Staff Sergeant Trevor P. Blaylock, Staff Sergeant Liam A. Flynn, Staff Sergeant Kerry Michael Kemp, and Staff Sergeant Andrew C. Seif who were killed in training on this day in 2015. "We are forever indebted to those who have given their lives that we might be free. - President Ronald Reagan" - From the MARSOC Foundation From Marines.mil on 21MAR16: " MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, North Carolina -- A little over a year ago on March 10, 2015, seven Marine Raiders and four Louisiana Army National Guard soldiers lost their lives in a tragic helicopter crash off the coast of the Florida Panhandle. On March 10, 2016, 14 Marine Raiders from Marine Corps Forces, Special Operations Command met in Navarre, Fla., for a memorial service to honor there fallen brothers in arms. Following the memorial service, on March 11, 2016, the Marine Raiders began a 770-mile ruck-march from Navarre, Fla., to Stone Bay aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, N.C. The Marine Raider Memorial March was designed to honor the seven Marine Raiders who died on March 10th, 2015 and their families, as well as bring awareness to their sacrifice. The ruckers were made up of both active duty and former Raiders, family members, and close friends. A few of the Marine Raiders chimed in on why they wanted to be a part of the ruck and the motivation that carried them through it. “On this march we have several active-duty Raiders, we have Marines that were there during the infancy and creation of MARSOC, there is a 16-year-old high school sophomore, and there are two incredibly strong women. And everywhere we go communities have come out to greet us, at all hours, night and day. This Memorial March is about family,” said one of the participants. Another continued saying, “why am I doing this you ask? Simple. I want to honor those we lost and the families they left behind. Although I only had the privilege of knowing one of the team members, I can tell by the character of the fellow Raiders I have spent the last couple of weeks with and the level of commitment and perseverance they have displayed, that the men of 8231 were some of the finest this country has to offer.” For some, the ruck was about the opportunity to honor and show support to not only the fallen Raiders but their families as well. “As for why I'm doing this, Liam's daughter, Leilani, is my biggest motivation. As she grows up, I'm confident she will know what an amazing man and warrior her daddy was, but I want her to also understand how important he was to me and so many other people. And finally, as Liam watches from above, I want him to see how his family will always be loved and looked after by his brothers and their families who remain here on earth. The family aspect of the Raider community is one thing that sets us apart from so many others and prevails during this time where we honor our brothers and friends,” said one of the ruckers. Along the way the ruckers were met with an overwhelming amount of support from local communities. Fellow service members, law enforcement officers and civilians went out of their way to meet the ruckers and march with them. Others helped provide logistical support, from medical supplies to helping provide fuel for vehicles. At the same time the Raiders had the opportunity to inspire the younger generations they met along the way. “When I grow up I want to be a Marine. My uncle used to be a Marine. I want to serve the people who served to keep me safe and my country safe. I want to save those people who saved my country and me. I would love to be a Marine,” said Jeremiah McNeely, a young child who stayed up to midnight to show his support by waving an American flag as the ruckers marched past him. Once the Memorial March made it to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Stone Bay, there was a short ceremony where the fallen were honored and the paddle that was recovered from the wreckage was presented to Lt. Col. Craig Wolfenbarger, commanding officer of 2nd Marine Raider Battalion, to be kept in their hall of honor. Wolfenbarger quoted a former speech given by Lt. Col. Evans Carlson, “It behooves us who remain to rededicate ourselves to the tasks that lies ahead. The convictions of these comrades are our convictions. With the memory of their sacrifice in mind let us dedicate ourselves into brining into reality the ideals for which these men died, and not let their sacrifice be in vein.”

Never. I modified it so that it doesn't bend like most.

Mattis can fix a lot of things as SECDEF, but he can't fix Carl.

I love how this one has a situation report.

The end of that was classic.
