Element Callsign: BANDIT-7
Element Leader: Specialist Winters.R

Pros:

• Vietnam era is intense
• Good response times from ATLAS teams with good coordination
• Fighting lanes and marks made it easier to pinpoint medical emergency calls

Cons:

• Clutter in communication nets where I could barely get a word in at times or hear calls
• Blue on blue incident before server crash
• 7 being bypassed on net
• Troopers being set on fire by others who were lit ablaze. Need to set procedure for burning victims to keep max distance with medical menu and pat down

Element Callsign: Infidel
Element Leader: Major Dread.M

Pros:

• Can't thank S3 staff enough for their efforts in keeping OPs relevant and fun.
• Good concept of operations by Misfit-6
• From my perspective coms were much more organized from the previous two OPs.

Cons:

• Server stopped us from continuing the fun
• blue on blue visibility and marking need some work on Nam OPS

Not a con. If S3 think they want to do Nam era a month or more in advance, aviation would love to put the birds in the training plan for member with the DLC prior to knock the dust off, or at least start a month with it on TACR and end the month with the operations.

Element Leader: Sergeant Stewart.AJ

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Specialist Bethea.A

Specialist Bishop.C
Corporal Robbi.J
Specialist Stuart.Z


Pros:

• Generally it was a well received op
• IED's were better then the day before
• Interesting attacking a city with far less tech

Cons:

• Lots of dead leadership, no fault of their own, but succession/orders were not clear at points
• Possible Blue on Blue CAS rockets don't taste that good
