Pros:

• Overall fun OP
• First time playing as CHAOS and I had a good time with it, definitely needs work.
• Once again, great concept and good work from leadership and GM's for making it work
• Server performance was fine, though I can't really tell a difference between this one and the old one, but I never had issues with the last server.

Cons:

• Need to work on FAC skills, I saw the slot was open just an hour or 2 before start so I thought I would take it. Apologies to 6 and any other element leads if I was slow with calls
• Got back blasted... again...

Element Callsign: Pioneer-7
Element Leader: Corporal Johnsen.M

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:

• N/A

Pros:

• Server was fine I guess.
• I found a little bit of fun.
• Was able to "take control" of a squad allowing me too ensure full securirty while working on patients.
• No black tags under my care.

Cons:

• Need more 7s for this style of operation. There was way too much shit for just 1 medic.
• Had a horrible time throughout the OP running back and forth by myself most of the time.
• Had to turn off the radio about 8 times due to noise and radio disipline.
• People not understanding what "Wait Out" means when called on radio.
• Lack of Purple Smokes being used during MASSCAS events, utilization would've increased reaction and response time for these events.
