What is the proudest domestic deployment of Military personnel in your country.

Mine is the deployment of 101st Airborne Paratroopers to provide protection for the "Little Rock Nine" in 1957. President Eisenhower explicitly stated that a Paratrooper would accompany each student from class to class.

Beginning my "Retro Future from a Syfy original movie build". Also trying to challenge myself with no Picatinny mounts on the entire build.

DPMS Kitty Kat .300 BLK upper on a PSA stealth lower. Primary Arms SLx 1x MicroPrism was kind of a bitch to get on. There's a nitrogen purge valve on the lower left that interfered with the carry handle so I had to do a bit of Dremel work on the carry handle

Pairs Well together( CQBR 08-09 era cloneish and Eagle Industries MBAV). The MBAV is the exact same model (different color) that I wore on my First two Deployments.

Today my dumbass learned....

The guns on the Patrol Boat aren't direct fire cannons, they're mortars..... specifically AMOS 120mm mortars. That's what I get for not even touching the vehicle description page.

Really liking where Revelations is taking Doom Guys origin story( SPOILERS)

Basically Id and Bethesda went even further and finally gave us Doom Guys name (Flynn Taggart) which is directly taken from the novels( to include his shit head LT. Weems) and gave him a MARSOC Raider background. Honestly it's little stuff like this that really makes me love this series. The fan service, story telling, and World building are absolutely awesome. It's by no means going to win any awards but I like that the developers are able to keep the games fun and interesting while still building on and establishing lore without bogging down the gameplay itself.

I definitely think they should read this one in its entirety

Prequel to Stolen Tongues and I honestly think it's the better of the two.

MK 12 MOD 1 SPR Build (Work in Progress)

I haven't seen this that often but this thing is a beast on longer sightline maps if you're an assault main. M16A4 base gun, SPR Barrel, Standard Suppressor, 1-5 LPVO, Stubby VFG, and buffer(might change that out for the match trigger when I unlock it). Basically allows for accurate long range shots( 5 shot kills) on semi and works relatively well at closer ranges on burst. The recoil is extremely controllable on semi allowing for significantly quicker follow up shots. Managed 22 Kills with it on Mirbak Valley with a majority of them being long range( posted up on the crane and was able to effectively get kills on "E" and "C").

Question for someone who is considering getting into the Milsim world(specifically MSW type stuff) pic attached for reference

In the MSW rule set, do they allow for "lo-vis" players for USFOR? From what I understand RUSFOR gets militia/insurgents and USFOR requires standard/SOF NATO loadouts but I'm curious if I run a U.S. "Tora Bora" Loadout if it'd be allowed. Apologies ahead of time if this is a common question.
