Sorry I missed that check 6 call

:D  Slash!

I got more trouble to stir up, might as well make it known here.  I was doing some more research on VF-27's background, and I'll be damned if I didn't learn the squad's nickname was, get this, the "Kangaroos", not the "Hellcats".    wtf!?   Kangaroos?!?
Wha...haa...???

So is it possible for a thread originator to hijack his own thread?

Not sure about the hijacking, but delete that before that kangaroo thing gets out!

In furballs, all bets are off - I'm just trying to stay alive. I can't watch anyone elses six. But more frequently in the MA you 'll see someone chasing a target and develop tunnel vission. If I see an enemy saddling up on them, I 'll give the the  ' key

If its a situation where I can't tell whats going on - I'll just call on range vox - "xxxxx- you see the spit below you?"

But all that is a courtesy - no one is supposed to be watching my 6 but me.

I agree, I usually don't complain about a lack of check 6's (as stated my SA is my responsibility and I agree), but when the above happens, I think a check 6 is mandatory from someone in the hoard chasing the bogey...

but then you could always turn vox off. or use headphones. or... or... or...

it's my understanding much worse goes over vox than ever has on ch1. ymmv.

Your understanding is more correct than you could ever imagine
