Element Callsign: SPARROW-1
Element Leader: Corporal Boyd.M

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Warrant Officer 1 Wulf.C

Pro:
-Fun Op
-More tasking then one Sparrow could handle. So we were constantly busy. Appreciated the chance to prevent a bigger QRF via the side mission.
-Solid mission variety and design (we did strike missions, ISR, response to QRF, convoy escort)

Con:
-A friendly fire incident from ground troops on us so silly I can hardly believe it.
A pilot wearing a bright pink helmet and a pilot wearing a yellow smiley face helmet coming towards infantry, having announced their position to Infidel asking them to stop firing on us, with the sparrow on fire directly behind us up the hill. They kill one and nearly kill the other an continued firing at a 15ft distance, and even when one pilot was talking to the head of the squad. Still getting fired on by others.
Said squad member then went up the hill to pick-up the other downed pilot and he then got fired on, as well as the other pilot trying to help him find the other pilot.
-No enemies were on that hill firing on the infantry.

-As there was an Atlas element it would've been good if they had a vehicle that could re-supply/repair/refuel Sparrow.

-Near the end of the mission about the time of the assault on the FOB nobody on the ground came onto channel 12 while INFIDEL was down.

Pros:

• Lots of action for medics due to ambushes.
• Fun op!

Cons:

• Needed more 6-Lines, which made responding difficult on occasion.
• Stopped for an ambush. 0/10 would not do again.
• Echo treatments. Specifically, who you are working on. Would like to see this emphasized in SP.
• Could have used more CCP org, make use of them when you can, SLs!

Corporal Sam.T

Pro:
This was a new experience, getting to learn a new role in operations.
Misfit-2 was an absolute vibe during reinsert after my death.
Shot some people, which was cool.

Con:
Some Acre issues at various points (Misfit-3's LR radio issues at the beginning, intermittent LR issues throughout).
Definitely need more practice in this role moving forward, which I am eager to gain.
