My inclination would be a thread in the Official Mod Pack board with appropriate Logistics staff tagged in the text for notification. Just talking out my ass though, I don't know if there's a more streamlined procedure.

@Sgt Riggenti Why are these links in a public board?

Long-ass recruiting server evening.

Badass evening:

One of the most fun trainings I've been in in a while. Great job, Russell.

Yeah a beefier laptop power supply will probably do you good.

Cpl H. Taylor India Company, BLT 3/1 FPO San Diego, CA 92102 Katie, I know you've been anxious beyond belief watching the news to see what's going on in Cordocas. I expect it'll be a few days before any solid facts get reported, if any manage to filter through the confusion and spin. Don't worry yourself too much though, I've been scared shitless and run around this island so fast I can't get my balance, but I'm doing OK and we're hitting the bad guys hard. I can't really talk about where we've been exactly, but in the last 12 hours we've been thrown into one end of the island, relieved, pulled out, and chucked headlong into the other end of it. We're all tired as hell and we've lost enough people who had to go home that my platoon got rolled into another one. It's all confusing, but the guys I'm with are the best in the friggin business, and they're all die-hard devil dogs I'm honored to be working for. It's crazy, I've been so busy yelling into the radio that I've hardly had time to even screw around with anyone (you know that's my comfort zone), but I still feel like I know even the newest replacements in our ranks like they're my gross little brothers. And I mean gross. As much as I try to lighten it up, it's been a difficult day. We had a whole squad get recalled stateside literally as this whole operations started (plus a bunch of other veterans, giants in this battalion who I respected so much), and that really pushed morale down- I've been running into a lot of sad marines, and a sad marine in a firefight is a terrible danger for the rest of us. I've had some close calls too. One of our AAVs, those big slab-sided floating spam cans on tracks, got nailed by a TOW missile earlier. The noise was tremendous, and I think all of our pants turned to brown-on-brown MARPAT in an instant. I torpedoed out of that thing before anyone else even grabbed their rifles though, and we all somehow made it out OK, if a little moist. Scared me half to death, but in a way it was almost routine for us - we pushed on on foot, and took an objective we didn't even expect to take. Like I said, these guys are miracle workers, right from the godlike guys in MEU HQ on down to Pvt Greaseball. Anyway, I gotta wrap this up - I was glad I had a minute to scribble before we get shoved into another mess and told to untie it, but it doesn't last long. We're moving fast, and that's a huge advantage. I'll see you soon, and please, please don't worry too much about me. I'm clumsy, it's true, but I'm pretty friggin spry for a guy with 15 pounds of just radio hardware alone on his back (never mind all the other stuff, I never seem to use it but it's there, all 60ish lbs of it). At this rate, it won't be long till you're poking me in the ribs so you can steal the blankets again. I love you, and I'll see you real soon. -H
