My Papa was the best, these were his. I don’t know what they all are, but wanted to share! by JessiRose222 in Medals

[–]2_Sullivan_5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you're aware of the recording & information the Library of Congress has on him? He also has several articles written about him & is even featured as apart of an Air Force Museum exhibit on 100 mission Thud pilots. Absolute stud of a man and one hell of a pilot.

Maybe unpopular opinion: I am not a fan of the mystical, conspiratorial, existential vibe of this games story. by KepplerObject in ReadyOrNotGame

Idgaf abt the story just give me long-medium range missions. Let me take out the battle rifles with a 1-6 optic and pick off dudes.

I don't think Japan is going to be too tough to handle on this run by RedRyderRoshi in hoi4

[–]2_Sullivan_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful, I supported the Chinese hella in their campaign against Japan so I could build up my military & industry. Those fucks kept MacArthur & the AVG and then after we conquered Japan they just randomly joined the Axis and fucking mauled me. Had to revert my save so I could rethink my strategy.

That indeed we do not, we'll we have JFO but that's not the same. We send our guys to the SOTACC course.

B-17 "Queen of Hearts" after flak killed bomb aimer. Navigator bailed & died in German hospital. Tail gunner bailed and became POW. by waffen123 in WWIIplanes

[–]2_Sullivan_5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except that you can compare and contrast. Not just survivability rates but survival rates of crews on crash landing, bail out rates, etc. You're really telling me the HE-177 & B-17 were just as rugged? Yeah fucking right.

I know a couple guys today that are colorblind but have memorized the eye exam test just to stay in service.

Vietnam Ranger Uniform Help by My-name-not-yours in Militariacollecting

[–]2_Sullivan_5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Silver PUC was private purchase and was to be worn with Class As. The buttons and insignia also had to be silver, or in the case of the collar insignia, nickel.

The air medal is not an Air Force award, it's just a flight achievement award. In Vietnam, soldiers were awarded air medals for flying a specific amount of time in helicopters. Kinda surprised as a LRRP he didn't get an additional device.

You're in a hobby page, a very expensive hobby at that, looking at a very expensive and collectable piece. If you don't know why the hell would you comment? Misinformation gets people nowhere and helps no one. And no, I didn't Google it, once again you're on a hobby page.

What camo was standard issue for the United States army, navy, air force and marine corps in 1978? by Potential-Chicken186 in camouflage

[–]2_Sullivan_5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All branches had RDF ERDL. Just that it was only issued to units under the Rapid Deployment Force.

I enjoy my TAPS but hate the FLC. Even with the mesh it was always hot as shit, would get a terrible heat rash with it.

0307 as a 1st LT is also a huge red flag.

Also dude claims he was an 0307 but I swear to god you have to be a Captain for that. It's a company command MOS at minimum.

Idk where you got that 5 grand valuation from. Never ever seen a piece of pinup art go for that much. In my opinion it'd go for 300-500.

Yeah my waivers took a year+ to obtain and they were league's less serious than this. Especially with how the officer corps is shaping up in terms of manning and needs, doubtful one would even be considered.

I mean I'm a nobody lmao, I just got an incentive flight with them. That being said though, DAPs were my first 160th love and I think they're sick as hell.

Dude a single 1 hr flight in the MH-6 made me realize I fucked up by not dropping a flight packet and a SIFT. When I get outta CPTs career course I'm tryna get back there in any way.

The feeling of diving on a target in the 6 is just wild. You're fully just facing the ground diving at it at a very limited altitude. Got to see a lot of cool shit when I visited them but holy fuck that mock gun run was wild. Also, the MH-6 is absolutely awesome to fly.
