@f3Carpenter Back Blast- 9/11/18: “We Must Always Remember”- @johnnyringof3

When CI asked for a volunteer to Q the Carp, I have to admit that I was a little apprehensive.  I hadn't Q'd in a while but more importantly, I knew that the WO on 9/11/18 would be, and should be, one of significance.  Regardless, I stepped up and took the reigns and couldn't beContinue reading "@f3Carpenter Back Blast- 9/11/18: “We Must Always Remember”- @johnnyringof3"

As we later came to learn, Kilo’s crew had 2 fart sack’s so theContinue reading "Back Blast – The Extender – 09/06/18 – Where’s the Ghost Flag?"
