This can’t be real. This game’s playerbase has a staff member of one of the most interesting,unique and almost secret aircraft variant ever conceived?
Now you got my full attention,sir.

That’s honestly rad,the only thing i can “”“flex”“” on is having a uncle that served as a ground crew during Desert Storm for the Italian Air Force,my grandfather that served in the Italian Navy and went to the rescue of all the Vietnamese that were escaping after the war and my dad that helped the implementation pf the Captor-E into the Eurofighter.
That’s it,i do not know further details simply because they didn’t wanted to tell me anything else

The only thing I have to “””””flex””””” is I’m in the airforce, I was a sere instructor for the past 10 years, now I’m transitioning to Tacp, love the people I work with like family. Never want to leave.
My dad was a sere instructor for 25 years, fun
Guy, cool story’s.
I’ll provide some photos of him
This one here he was teaching astronauts lmao
He’s the one leaning back watching in black.
I kinda felt the responsibility to follow his footsteps after my sisters didn’t, so I did it, I can tell you I never walked more in my life, Never met so many cocky Pj’s or force recon guys. To be honest it was fun breaking them down. Those guys were in over there head

Nah bruh you can definitely flex your stories and your dad’s,you are both awesome!
First of all,thank you for your service.
Second of all, teaching SERE is one of the most hellish things you can do,and honestly it baffles me that you’ve encountered even one cocky guy.
If i was recruited,i would’ve listened to you like a fkn puppy simply because you have A LOT of experience,both personal and indirect from your father.
I’m not into any branches, although i have a lot of friends enlisted (from SAR pilots to AF instructors to retired sub privates and officers to Radar/AA specialists)i simply don’t have the attitude to follow my country and the blatant nepotism. But damn if their stories interests me a lot.
I really want to post some photos of my grandpa,but unfortunately they’re part of his last will that is now property of my dad,so yeah they’re pretty hidden. For my uncle,i could ask him and see if he has the time to give them to me

Lol. There should be a thread for stories like these from people in the military. It would probably be one of the most viewed threads on here😂

Absolutely,i can say that my uncle played soccer with his colleagues while the sky had a thick black layer 1000km over only because they were bored while the Tornados were doing their mission
And when i obviously asked “what about the SCUDs?” he responded “Son,we were 1000km from there,the deadliest thing in our base was our own stupidity”
They organised sort of World Football Championship with the other teams and all,lmao.

Here’s the story I am sure everyone will enjoy, It’s a short one.
So Whenever my dad and his friends were out country, They all took a photo and one of his friends always wore sneakers because he was behind the Berlin Wall getting chased 24/7, I’m not sure what he did , my dad never told me. But cool dude, loves running

I remember asking a dude i met on TT (who served during the Gulf War) one of his best stories
He told me that he was stationed in Israel and,since he and his pals were bored,they started entering other bases at night by luring the guards,only to steal snacks from the barracks
Long story short their CO got them and ordered them to stop because all other troops were becoming paranoid and someone suggested there were Iraqis doing PsyOps
Ftw they almost started a diplomatic crisis only for some snacks
