Shout out to USMC
« on: November 18, 2006, 12:42:41 AM »
USMC guys, in 4 years of FSO I have never had the pleasure of having such a capable and 'on the ball' escort.  Thanks!

I have grown used to FSO escorts that never show up, or are out of position, but you guys were right where you needed to be every time and made great use of the energy you had.

Every FSO fighter squad should take a page from the USMC book of escorting.

Your excellent work led our bombers through, and it was especially appreciated!

Thanks for the complement Kurt.  We had a great time, and I think we were lucky that the enemy was out of position when they intercepted us, and we were able to keep them at bay.  You guys had a nice close group of bombers to protect, which also makes things a lot easier.
