Josh’s fire team reaches the front door just in time to receive a volley of 7.62 slung at them from a RPK set up on the other side of the shack’s mud wall. They do not hesitate. They act. They run into the throat of that monster, directly through the door that has the business […]

The big issue was securing the sheer number of aircraft that would be required for training every single Q-Course student in MFF […]
