What is an RMC? What is an OSC? I can't do both from the get go, an A-10 can. But if I've got a competent Mudhen crew acting as OSC, I can act as RMC under certain circumstances. That said, if we can't delineate when a no shit Sandy 1-4 package is required versus a non-traditional CSARTF how can we stand in front of the CFACC and say "boss, you're tasking the Hogs with too much, we will no longer have the ability to bring our folks home." If there is a Sandy1 Hog available, we'd be stupid to task RMC to anyone else. But we won't always have a Sandy1 Hog available. We need to be able to bring our folks home in all scenarios, which means we need to spread out the training burden to pick up the slack when the Hogs get tasked with other shit.

YGBFSM...you do know that not every A-10 pilot is Sandy qual'd right? If there was an A-10 pilot that was giving off the vibe that he would rather concentrate on the range instead of getting Sandy qual'd, I would bet my monthly paycheck that he would NEVER be upgraded...that mission is too important to let someone skate by...I'm sure A-10 pilots will chime in with their two cents. With regards to the original incident, I'm not sure what happened to the helo wingman, but some F-15E'sm from my squadron were in the kill container next door, established comm, and got eyes on with the Sniper. Since Bagram was a stone's throw away, the Pedro's were there fairly quickly...shortly thereafter, the Sandy's showed up and took over...my two ship showed up next and having personally seen the Sandy's kick ass and take names and run that show like they owned it (because they did), I would challenge any airframe to do it better!!, Just my $0.02. Cheers, Cap-10 Edit: jschmed, Could you add some reason behind your words? What is it about the Jolly's make them a better choice than a Sandy? Also, where did the rest of your post go? I'm wondering why you deleted the part about A-10 guys not caring because RMC "gets in the way of my primary CAS mission" statement?

I got a traditional (albeit still plastic) stock for the SLR-95 and replaced the thumbhole one that was on it, and here's a pic of it with my other Arsenal rifle, a Russian-built Saiga SGL-20 (The Bulgarian is on the left in the top photo, and on the bottom in the second and third pic) ... I did get a set of Bulgarian Army furniture that I hope to fix up in the near future, but for now it is 922r compliant and despite not having the lower tang installed, the stock fits so tightly (I had to use a rubber mallet to install it, typical AK gunsmithing) that I'm not worried about it. Cheers! M2

We call that scale "Enid Binary".

Wow, that shitter looks awesome.
