Quote:I seem to recall a few years ago a frequent poster deployed with the Air Force(?), and they'd offered up a "day in the life of" post or letter. I mention it because a veteran of the U.S.'s invasion of Afghanistan is featured in the above-mentioned game; reading about it got me thinking about that post, and the poster. Welcome home...?Plaid:
That might have been me, might have been TaMeOlta. FWIW, I was deployed to the CENTCOM AOR at the CAOC (Combined Air Operations Center) in Qatar. My job was to get on patrol and on call Close Air Support (CAS) overhead of Marines and Soldiers, in both Iraq and Afghanistan, with weapons ready to deliver, when they needed it . . . among many other things. That particular endeavor was what I cared most about, though we did a lot of Search and Rescue, Humanitarian, and other air support as well.
Thanks for the welcome home, I've been back a year and a half, and retired from the Navy.
As to RPG's, have any of you all looked into this?
