I'm sure everyone here is familiar with the term "BlackOps.", but has anyone on this board taken part in a "no-contest" mission (less than a 5% survival rate)? If its a breach of OpSec....well, don't answer!

That's right up there with having your entire team with mustaches during in-ranks inspection by MG Leroy Suddath. Ironically, we were the ONLY team in 5th SF Group that didn't have to report back on Saturday for re-inspection.

Speaking of Ivanov, we sent him a Company Photo of EVERY single one of us with our hands in our pockets in Montana. This was when he was the Company SGM of B/1/5. We were C/1/5 and our SGM (Firebee) loved to screw with the other Companies quite often.

I always volunteered for those missions, but only for the winning team!

I missed Hu Flung Pu, heard that was a shitty mess.

Yeah Tex, I remember this on time when I was stationed outside of Poon Tang, at Camp-O-Phenique... Buy me a beer, and I'll tell you all about it!

I parked my truck on the grass in front of CSM Purdy one time. I got to patrol the parking lots and compound at 4th RTB with LBE, Rucksack, K-pot and rubber duck for twenty four hours straight making sure that all personnel parked only in designated parking spots.
