With the ranks of the 75FS swelling up, we thought it would be a good idea to introduce the officers that ensure smooth, efficient, and tactical training to the members as well as ensure a good time for all.

The word must have gotten out, because we are seeing a nice wave of new recruits and bolstering our numbers.  

After a short stint in the Persian Gulf, we return to Turkey to go back into training mode to get our nuggets up to speed and perfect our trade.

Some new toys seem to be coming later this month from Eagle Dynamics as well!

Tensions Rising in the Middle East

8/24/2020

The westernization of the Peninsula of Oman and other GCC's in the area have lead to an extreme response from Iran.

Since the CVN-73 USS Washington has been rendered essentially defeated, CVN-71 USS Theodore Roosevelt, CSG-3, along with Joint Task Force 501 have been instructed to prepare for immediate deployment as of 9/1/2020.  It appears the the UN is helping out some, French Air Force and European ground units have been dispatched to the area.  Unfortunately there is only a small area in which we can consider "secured".  More to come in the upcoming days!
