So much jealously ITT. I'm basically infantry if the infantry's job was to engage and destroy lovely work hours and hooah retardation in close combat. Now have a cup of coffee and a donut and get the gently caress out of my office.

Quality posting direct from my brain to your face holes.
Deployment one: rifle company FSO on a small fob in kapisa/wardak

Deployment two: aviation squadron S2 on Jalalabad airfield

My casual attitudes towards shaving and footgear inside the wire were not appreciated. Apparently when your battle rhythm includes mandatory crew rest and days off (not just pilots per regs) you're well down the slippery slope of garrison life cosplay in a warzone. When pilots are climbing rooftops to pop 556 rounds at suicide FOB attackers they can't even see, and nobody gets punished, you realize how little your leadership knows about fighting without a TV screen or cockpit glass in the way. Also holding the SCIF door open for randos like it was 7-11. gently caress.

Which is odd since astronaut wings are the same design as regular officer aircrew wings, just a different tiny logo in the center.

Futuristic space wings were designed to give nerds without windows a reason to stop committing suicide.

I didn't just mean design. I mean astronauts are probably the most awesome person in the room no matter where they go on this planet. MOH recipient would be the only other person in the conversation, imo.

I swear to god our medics boned each other more than horny 17 year olds on prom night. Like I'm pretty sure the aid station turned into a massive orgy after afternoon sick call; they were definitely worse than the rest of the Joes. It got so bad that the PA had to start intentionally splitting certain pairs up and sending them to opposite ends of the country where the line platoon projects were.

Yeah the Landing Support dudes wear red patches on the front of their cover and by their cargo pockets. The origins are supposedly WWII when they needed a way to identify themselves to infantry officers who thought they were supposed to go inland with the rest of the grunts. The Landing Support guys help move all the gear off the ships and setup the initial supply dump on the beach. They also form Helicopter Support Teams (HST) to do external lifts of supplies and stuff. They fall under the Logistician umbrella and along with Embarkers, eventually become Logistics Chiefs.
