SITREP #048: Military Bronies in the News

I can't make this up.

So this just waltzed into our inbox. And we all remember the whole unapproved patches issue from last year. Except this is an APPROVED patch.  This is the real, totally legit, certified by PAO, unit patch of the Joint Undergraduate Specialized Pilot Class 14-05, as reported by Robert Beckhusen at Medium.com. 

Additionally, there are two more articles about the Fort Carlson bronies!

Check them out after the break!

Op-ed: Saunter Hoof on "Military Tactics"

Not an actual poster...

I was listening to NPR the other day, and something really annoyed me. It's about the way some people view the military, or should I say: 'military tactics'. I'm going to address my concerns, and what is really a popular exploitation of stereotyping.

One incident of language warning.

UGC #002: Tavor-21, Memorial Battan Death March

Two of our users, Red Sage (who is staff) and Tavor-21 are attempting to organize a FOB Equestria team to compete in the 2014 Bataan Memorial Death March. It will take place in March of 2014 so there's plenty of time for you to prepare. Read more after the break.

Memorial Day: 2013

The cartoon is not supposed to be funny.

It is Memorial Day in the United States, and it is time to honor our fallen.

I will go over some important things you might want to know about Memorial Day, and answering a few questions if you have any.

ARTillery Inbound #020: Airsoftplayer1234

His worktable at base....by ~Aisoftplayer1234

So I thought I would entertain you all with some work that Airsoftplayer1234 has done about soldiers and ponies, for a bit of an early ARTillery post this week.

You should note that most of the pics here are scaled down and the source contains image resolutions which could be easily converted to wallpaper. Also, most of these images have VERY few views, and just about no comments, so go tell him nice things on his DA page so you can be awarded brownie points and friendchips.

mmmmmmmm... friendchips.... ugggghhhhhhhhggggggghhhhhh.......

FOB-ED: STOLEN VALOR

STOLEN VALOR

By Silvermane

   Those of us who have served in the military in the past, and those of us who are currently serving, know well the sacrifices that are asked of us. We often work long hours in dangerous conditions,  many times with little recognition. When we do receive awards and decorations, often bought through blood and strife, we therefore treasure them all the more.

   So it is upsetting and repugnant to us when we hear of someone wearing awards and decorations which they have not earned. This essay will explore some aspects of Stolen Valor, from a personal as well as a legal standpoint. We'll begin right after the break.

ARTillery Inbound #018

 

CPT Armor Class Aby ~MyMiniatureEquine

We all have this picture on a wall somewhere at our house (or our parents house), and just like Shiny, I wasn't wearing any pants either when they took my picture.

...   ....  awkward silence... ... HAVE SOME ARTillery!

SITREP #039: Bronycon Discounts for Military

Yeah so, while your planning how to take leave to get to Bronycon, consider this. You can get yourself a little discount!

Also, you may be able to get a refund if your leave gets canked! That's pretty nice of them.

SITREP #036: Tragedy on Base

Lt. Solivan, a PAO in Quantico,  having a long day.

First, our condolences to the families that have lost their loved ones so close to home.

Recently the USMC has suffered a series of fatalities from accidents and non-combat related tragedies. But how does the military respond, and if you've got friends on base, what should you do?

Alright, the MWR post is back, and this one contains, guns, Aussies, musical tanks, and a brief history of the USS Monitor, and why you should care.

MWR: #004 Demotivational!

A little birdy told me that some of yall were looking to possibly tone down the motivation. Normally I would say never! But at this FOB our commander is LCpl and we surrounded by ponies.

Time to get a low-reg.

awwwwww-yeeeeaaaaahhhhh.

Memes! Guns! Acoustic Trance! Explosions! Justin Bieber Octavia! Avengers! Molten lead! Spitfires (non-pony)!
