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!

FOB Equestria Interviews Silvermane

Attention bronies: We have another interview! This time, it's our very own Silvermane. This is the same interview from episode 8 of our podcast, so if you listened to that then you've already heard it.

If not, you're probably wondering why we interviewed him. Allow me to educate you: he's an E-8 in the US Air Force who has served in the military longer than I've been alive.

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: #031: Brony Census 2013

Scientist ponies.by ~DrPancakees

It's time for science! We need YOU to take the brony census.

Non-bronies are welcome (and prefered) to take it as well. Also, the explicitly mention Military Service as part of the questioning so that they can get an idea about what's up with us too.

Musicians of Service #005: Black Gryph0n

Well look at this! It's about time we featured perhaps the most famous Military Brony musician in the community. I'd be surprised if you guys haven't heard of him already, considering he does some pretty great music and just plain awesome animations.

But... how much do you really know about him? Well, we can certainly help you there. And if you haven't heard of him, well then, now's your chance!

Catch it all after the jump!

Musicians Of Service #004: DJ ClusterBuck

Who's next? How about this guy: he goes by the stage name DJ Ph4nt0m ClusterBuck. Yeah, he had a recent change of stage name. While not one of the "big names" in the Brony music community, he's still one of us! Let's give him what promotion we can.

Also, he doesn't have an OC... so maybe someone should make one for him? I mean, isn't that what bronies do or something? Just a suggestion.

Learn more about this Military Brony and his music after the break!

Musicians Of Service #003: H8_Seed

Smile for the camera! Next up on our list is H8_Seed. If you don't know him, let's fix that. Shall we? He's certainly been on the Brony music scene for a while and has joined our ranks as Military Bronies.

I was rather surprised to see that he doesn't have more subscribers on YouTube, but that's the fame game for ya' I suppose. Well let's see if we can't help that a little...

Learn more about this guy after the break!

Musicians Of Service #002: Navy Brony

Next up on the list is our very own Navy Brony, otherwise known as Navron! For those of you unaware, he is our official PA guy here on the FOB. That's pretty much why you don't see him out here posting stuff. It's OK, we still love him anyway.

Now, this guy is somewhat well known in the Brony music community, so chances are pretty good you've heard of him if you follow it. That or if you've been keeping up with us here on the FOB then you've definitely heard of him!

Anyway, find out a little more about just who he is after the break!

Musicians Of Service #001: Neu KatalYst

So if any of you follow our Podcast (yes, I know there wasn't one this week. Conflicting schedules, military bronies have no time, rah rah), then you may have heard me mention about a new musical focus that I wish to bring to the FOB, and HERE IT IS!!

Basically, I wanted to give our Military Bronies who make music the attention they deserve from the site. That isn't to say that we don't like music from other Bronies, but we are "The Home of the Military Bronies" after all. Time to give our Brony brothers in arms some love.

AND YES, I'M AWARE THAT I'M THE HEAD OF LITERATURE. SO WHAT? I think having over 2K Brony songs on my computer makes me qualified for this... just sayin'.

First up is Neu KatalYst. Check him out after the break!

Episode Review: Look Before You Sleep

The jokes just write themselves for this one.

Commander Firebrand has released his next MLP Episode Review: "Look Before You Sleep!" In this one, he teams up with Darth Subtlety and fights a heroic battle against the evil Hurricane Sandy! (No he doesn't, but wouldn't that be awesome?)

I don't know why he's still talking in the third person either. Hit the jump for the latest episode plus all links to previous ones!

SITREP #021: BlackGryp0n's Been Busy!

As the title says, BlackGryph0n, one of our fellow Military Bronies, has been rather busy doing quite a lot of pony related things. Since we've had our hands full here at the FOB with several of our own projects and events, we haven't had the time to properly promote our comrade's work!

That's what this post is for! Want to catch up on some of his latest exploits? Well then...

Catch up with BlackGryph0n after the jump!

Episode Review: Dragonshy

You may not know this... Okay, you probably do, but yours truly, Commander Firebrand has a moderately successful YouTube channel under alias "joshscorcher" A.K.A. "The Fiery Joker." And from week to week he posts episodic reviews of episodes in sequence. This week's review: "Dragonshy!" with special guest Chewie from one of our allies "The Chaos Theatre!"

I don't know why he's talking in the third person either. He says to hit the jump for the latest episode plus all links to previous ones!

SITREP #016: Season 3, Borderlands, AIT

Pinkie is not demonstrating proper repelling techniques. Note the lack of harness.

Quick little update for your weekend:

1. Hub commercial for Season 3 with about 1:50 of footage from the Crystal Ponies episode.
2. Brony Borderlands 2 class
3. One of you just had a fun conversation at AIT  BCT with your Drill Sergent. Then someone posted it online.

See the madness below!

SITREP #007: BlackGryph0n's New Remix!

BlackGryph0n has a new remix...and it's SO. AWESOME. /)^3^(\

Sure, it's a song that has been remixed several times over, but how could we not feature a song by one of our fellow Military Bronies? Especially when it's such a great remix! Go get your 'WUB WUBS' for the night...day...er, whenever you see this post and give it a listen!

Check the remix after the break!

Military Bronies Interviewed!

Seems some of us got interviewed by MrE380. Mobius, H8_Seed, and our very own Navy Brony were kind enough to make themselves available, answer some questions, and give us their input. While I am unfamiliar with MrE380, I'm certainly grateful for his time and effort! He does a good job and asks some very interesting questions. So grab a snack and check it out!

SEMPER FILLY!
