Element Callsign: GUNSLINGER-6

Element Leader: Master Sergeant Westcott.R


Pros:

• We had an event happen
• I flew a helicopter for the first time (and probably last time).

Cons:

• The event was PvPvE. The lack of internal signups alone should signal that this is not the type of environment that 7Cav members want to play in for organized events. At peak there were maybe 40 people on the server.
• I was not intending to be PL, and frankly didn't want to be PL...but when I got in the channel not a single other person was going to lead. I took -6 reluctantly, with my standing orders being 1: have fun and 2: do whatever you want because this game mode is a joke.
• Why are we shit-talking in text chat in a 7Cav members event? Grow the fuck up and do better.
• Reports of people on RUSFOR side calling people homophobic slurs when killing US soldiers.

I fully intended on just running supply tonight and leaving after the first hour just to get OP credit....and somehow ended up as PL. My suggestion for future FnF events is to have them exclusively be PvE and well organized. If you want to do PvP...go on the public server. If events like this continue we should drop any false pretenses of MILSIM and maybe consider picking up COD Warzone as a new AO.

Element Callsign: Tovar - 1

Element Leader: Second Lieutenant Davis.D


Pros:

• I was able to fly the MI-8 from a slick to a gunship
• It was fun attacking targets and being called in to support ground troops
• Ran supplies for the 1st hour to level up and got into some decent engagements

• Cons:
  
  
• Very low turnout
• was bounced around from resupply, to piloting to resupply and then assaulting OBJ
• Comms issue possibly on my end but issues contacting COC via platoon net here or there
• Trash talking other 7th Cavalry members can set a bad example for new recruits and lower enlisted members
• no Blue for leadership after the first hour creating a bad experience for the US side

Notes: Due to the low number turn outs and people leaving the op took roughly 3 hours and ended up finishing the operation with roughly 30 people on both sides, PVPVE turnouts are starting to decline due to the nature of game mode rather than PVE.
