If you're Guard, get your medical squadron to put you on the contact lense program ASAP. As long as you're on it before you show up, they will let you wear contacts. I was glad I did this, I hate flying with glasses.
Have you ever read up on some of the shit Columbus did? It's not like this guy was a drunk, or some other minor fault. I don't know any humans who would do some of the shit he pulled.
I never said we should ignore the good things they did, but we sure as hell shouldn't ignore the shitty things they did.
Like so many other "heros" we learn about in the history books... Christopher Columbus comes to mind. We don't want to know about all the bad things they did, just the good!
It took us 2.5 years CMR to get them and they are a total POS! Most of them starting falling apart w/in a few months of wear. You would be better off selling it and putting that that $$$ towards an A-2 from Pops.
EDIT: Just checked on mine, I've never even worn it and some of the "leather" is flaking off...
Gen Wyatt is grasping for straws, trying to get a mission for his squadrons that are supposed to lose iron. I think it would be more wise to try to get more UAVs. It's a much better mission for the Guard.
I guess it means you flew 20ish mission per medal...
While I flew CT at home station with Sniper...that's fucked up! I would have gladly given up some training to make sure you guys had something better than LANTIRN.
