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 Podcast #021 & #022

How's it going, bronies? Double podcast post inbound to you. Let's just call it "military efficiency" and leave it at that, shall we? You all know by this point if you want to hear the podcast when it's first out there, you should follow our YouTube channel.

Anyway, you've got the green light to jump!

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.

Convention Recon: Fiesta Equestria - VA INTERVIEWS!

Spangle here, glad to report that we did manage to get a couple interviews while attending Fiesta Equestria in good ol' Houston. Who'd we get? None other than the voices of Gilda and Spitfire!

You gotta jump to catch'em!

SITEREP #046: FOBEQ and The MBS Show

The Malaysian Brony Show just recently had FOB Equestria on as part of their podcast. Miche and Saunter Hoof decided to take up the podcast and discuss the military, video games, and how they became bronies.

... It took us a grand total of two minutes of us to make a mess of their nice podcast. I have no idea why Miche is talking about with the moon.

Check it out after the break:

Convention Recon: Fiesta Equestria - Podcast and Panel

Spangle here and ready to bring you some of what we got while attending Fiesta Equestria! While we were limited in what we could get in video form due to few personnel and equipment on scene, that certainly didn't stop us from trying!

We got 2 videos for you after the jump, so what are you waiting for!

Green light! GO, GO GO!

FOB Equestria Podcast #019

HELLLLOOOO MY BRONIES! Spangle here bringing you another podcast post... because it's kinda my job. I just get busy sometimes, but that's what comrades are for, right?

Anyway, *spartan kicks out the door* have a nice jump!

Happy US Independance Day!

No Flutters! Be Aggressive!

It's Independence Day in the United States, and yesterday was also the 150th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg. If you feel like getting information to drop on your associated friends and family, I'll go over some of the historical context you may find interesting.

Oh yeah, and it will be interspersed with awesome art and repeated sayings of "America, F**k Yeah!"

SITREP #045: Outside The Wire and Ms. Duckworth

Well, our pals at Outside The Wire, for the Army Times went ahead and and made an article that I think you all should see. It's a fantastic smoke session as federal representative Tammy Duckworth (D - IL) shames the head of a private company (Mr. Castillo) that the IRS may have illegally contracted. One of the purposes of the congressional investigation is to find out if any illegal activities had taken place. The one thing that Ms. Duckworth wouldn't stand for is the possibility that Mr. Castillo may have used a twisted ankle he got during military prep school as a military-service disability in order to win over the federal contract with the IRS.

Ms. Duckworth seemed positively annoyed by Mr. Castillo's disability rating. Ms. Duckworth was severely injured in 2004, in Iraq, after the UH-60 Blackhawk she was flying was hit by an enemy RPG round. She sustained extensive damage to her arm and both legs, eventually requiring a double amputation of both legs.

Watch the glorious video, and corresponding article after the break.

Spangle: Thanks sir, but I got it from here....

Yes, I know this has been on our YouTube for a while now, but it's finally here on our site ready for all of you who refuse to subscribe to our channel! Honestly, I don't even know how YouTube subscriptions work anymore since they've changed it so much... but that's not really the point here.

The point is it's podcast time!

Entering the jump zone. Stand in the door! Green light!

FOB Equestria Podcast #015

How's it going, Military Bronies? If you follow our YouTube channel, you know that this podcast has been out there for a bit of time already, but we've just havent gotten around to making a post about it. Time to cut back on the slack and get them to you! More is incoming as well.

Green light! Time to jump!

FOB Equestria Podcast #014 (and #013)

Yet another podcast... or rather, TWO podcasts! Yes, last week's podcast didn't get a post so we're throwing it in this week's! Is that lazy? I don't think it's lazy.

Oh right, there was a podcast last week if you were previously unaware. Miche hosted it while I took care of some... things.

Anywhatsit, TIME TO JUMP!

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.

FOB Equestria Podcast #012

Hey, look at that! The post is finally here! If you follow our YouTube channel, you know this has been uploaded since early this week, but better late than never.

So what are you waiting for? Catch the podcast after the jump!

FOB Equestria Podcast #011

That time of the week again: podcast time! If you follow our YouTube channel, you know this one's been uploaded since late Sunday night/early Monday morning, but better late than never!

The 11th installment of our surprisingly actually weekly podcast included only 4 of the regular cast, as shown above, but that certainly didn't stop us from having plenty to say!

What did we talk about? Get ready to jump and find out!

FOB Equestria Podcast #010



Another week, another podcast! There wasn't one last week, you say? Well, there's a reason for that... not a good one, but a reason nonetheless. I'll just say "technical difficulties" and leave it at that. The good news is that this week's went off without a hitch!

This week's cast  included Firebrand, Navron, Miche, and Tweak. I was obviously there, too, but that goes without saying. I am the kind of the host of the this thing.

Well, what are you waiting for? It's time to jump!
