Back in the 13th MEU, we had quite a deployment process. Reference "PFC Makowski" and "Pvt Kardnal". Good times.

Always with the CH-53. An entire platoon of guys into one or two of 'em.

Back when spacing was a suggestion rather than a certainty of IDF.

Long holds meant long periods of overwatch. Covering another squad's movement was paramount to their survivability.

[Capt (Ret) Kardnal]

Small movements had to be quick. Smokes weren't much of a saving grace, so we made the most of our bounding fireteams.

Sometimes turning your NODs off will give you a beautiful picture.

And turning them on will tell you just how fucked the OPFOR will be.

Dirt trenches save lives and stop Russian MBTs. Learn how to shovel, kids.

When the aviator drops one box of illumination flares, and Arma spawns 150 of them instead, turning night into fucking day.

Oh man, I member the 13th days... I think I may be in that picture on the carrier somewhere. That may have been right before I showed up though...

Watching the 15th MEU guys have a stroke with spacing. Shortly following this image I had to run down the line and tell them to use their E-tools for something more than latrines. One of their new guys was having a scottish stroke, it sounded like. Bunch of parrots. And that Sgt there? Sounded 100% like Capt Wolfe. Scared the shit out of me how similar he was ripping his guys.
Pvt Somethingsomething: Man I just dont know what we're doing
Sgt R Bruce: That's why your daddy left you and your mommy questions if she ever truly loved you.

Fun ops can be dark.. . And fun. Mostly dark though.

I picked a bad training day to smoke on.
