I won't shed any tears about this discontinuation. Valor vs. Venom, et al, have none of the imagination or fun that the 3 1/2" from the 80s-early 90s did. And the 12" just flat suck compared to the competitor's.

battlefidl commissions

macvsog, I was merely curious. But, I don't understand you getting a "battlefield commission" if you were already a commissioned 2LT. If you were already a PL in the 101st, did you mean to say you were instantly promoted? Does that mean you were moved up to company XO or something because of circums...
