RE: OT: To salute or not to salute

2nd one is a major, not a light col.
4th one is a Marine PFC. Lance cpl would have crossed rifles under it.
5th one is a T/4 or Technician Fourth Grade. It was called tech sgt by the troops.

RE: Ground Unit Withdrawal Help

You can disband units that arent scheduled to withdraw manually, but not units that WILL BE withdrawn is what Im sure he meant to say.

(Edit: HQs cant be disbanded either)

The U505 for example (granted much smaller than a BB) cost $250,000 for repairs in 1953 and then went on display - outdoors - in Chicago. Over 50 years late...

Observer squads have a load cost of 20. Thats why your airplanes cant pick it up. It will continue to be listed as a fragment until you stop trying to pick up the parent.
