Cons

• Enemy Heli Fire resulting in black cas, it was a poor choice as it ruined the experience for 1 person who didnt have a chance to not die and as a 1 life took away their sunday afternoon.

Element Callsign: Atlas-1
Element Leader: Sergeant Kastor.K

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
First Sergeant Summerfield.P

Pros

• provided care for multiple red casualties, sustaining combat effectiveness of the unit
• great cooperation with the 1SG
• great to hear appreciation from the troops for the work we do

Cons

• pointless length of drive to AO, over 15-20 minutes of wasted time - between this and prep at base, we were at 1 hour mark before we even got in any contact at all
• while fun to use a different vic, the silly MP APC was a poor fit - we either couldn't assist with its guns (.50 cal AND HE/Canister Mk19!) or we were used for pushes against unknown targets, with both medics inside (!). Then when we got out to assist troops, the vehicle got yoinked by somebody and destroyed by ATGM, along with all of our medical supplies. We had to work off ATLAS-2's supplies.
• absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional attitude from one of the Viking leaders on the platoon net, yelling at me several times when I was trying to relay messages and contact other units on that net to get off "his" platoon net - despite the fact I was explicitly told by Viking-7 not to be on 15 due to low turnout and remain on platoon net for the whole of the Op. Even if this is something they weren't aware of - or they wanted medics on 15 after all and I didn't get the message, the whole thing could have been handled calmly and professionally instead of causing aggravation and discouraging me from further participation in the Op.
