Scouting for new F.R.O.G Op area and new recruit!!!

[South MS Bowhunter]

In light of this gnawing feeling me and Scout decided to take an aggressive approach to this unknown source of fear and anxiety.

We left early for the mission sites and slipped in early for some observations.

I had a feeling that the Viet Frogs had entered into a pact with some partisans (the dreaded No-Shoulders) and I had a hunch that they had laid some traps for us.

We made our way to Boggy II with an idea of clearing anything that may be an obstacle for Deadeye. Knowing they knew we had a "green" one with us for tonights mission.

And as it has many time before My Supreme intuitions were right  :reddit:
 
It wasn't long before Scout and me ran across their first trap...

And this would not be there last attempt at aborting our mission, but the F.R.O.G team is not your average fighting force and we don't back down to a fight...Click on video below.

We would in all take on 6 of their partisan forces and overcome them all!  

[South MS Bowhunter]

I have the ultimate responsibility first and foremost to back up my men and to deter and overtake any and all enemy forces, and I do it well (of course with Scout exceptional assistances).

[South MS Bowhunter]

Deadeye be prepare for the fight of your life, I have a feeling this was not the last of their plans....

Ready to eat lightning and crap thunder, sir!

[arrowlauncherdj]

Y'all are cracking me up.

[South MS Bowhunter]

Well we survived, but it was a vicious grueling battle. A lot of give and take (mostly give on my part) but in the end we won.

Ask ole Deadeye how hard it is to make the team

[johnnyk71]

Guys, I had about as much fun as a guy ought to be allowed. Don't let the Supreme Leader fool you. I took out the first enemy that crossed my path in spectacular fashion (don't ask me how badly I tapered off later!) But, I did put a few in the sack. You won't find a better group of guys than the F.R.O.G. Team, and I am most appreciative of their confidence.  Those Vietfrogs are deadly, and I was glad to be amongst such ruthless operators. Snakes, gators and turtles abounded, but I made it out alive, and without earning a Purple Heart (soggy, wrinkled feet, and barking dogs apparently do not qualify one for such an honor). Look for a visual account of the team's bravery in the near future...

[johnnyk71]

I decided to see if i could get one of our captives to give up the location of the enemy base today. I was thinking he would probably talk.

 

[johnnyk71]

Alas, those boogers are tough and closed-mouthed, if not very cold tolerant. I decided it was best to go ahead and prep them for relocation to a super-secure holding facility, in a much colder climate than that to which they were accustomed. I don't think we'll have much trouble out of this bunch, until it's time to put the heat on them again.

hey guys, any luck on the mission video?

hoping to chase a gator this weekend. didn't get to go last weekend, but it'll be tough to top the F.R.O.G. mission, even if i get one!

[South MS Bowhunter]

Well,

Deadeye I left it in the hands of a rookie PR media type and well I'm still waiting.

I've already gave her an admonition that if she does not meet my demand for high quality surveillance film, I'll have her replacement quicker than you can bat an eye!

I think I scared her though and she hasn't been seen or heard from since.

Do you think i was to hard?

[johnnyk71]

haha! time to put ol' PH on the case, i think.

[Possum Head]

I let her off the hook last night to attend church and figured a break would do good but as you can see I'm logged on so that means she's not behind the keyboard. Is this grounds for a court marshal?? It's 1/2 composed but that also means 1/2 undone. Perhaps our Supreme leader should drop another dime!

[Doc Nock]

I won't say y'all are nuts, but if you were squirrels, the case would be closed!

How is it that you survive all these forays into gator holes, snake pits and turtle dens and come out with nothing but bug bites and sore feet?

I got so many bug bites just visiting neighbors I itched for 3 nites straight... Seriously?  You guys cover up in bar grease or what?      :rolleyes:    

[South MS Bowhunter]

Doc,

You just got to run fast enough to beat the last guy in front of the snakes and gators

[johnnyk71]

going gator hunting tonight. thought seriously about shooting it with one of my bows, but i need to up my odds a little, since it took me 8 years to draw a tag. i did make myself one SERIOUSLY sweet harpoon, though, for when i get him in close!

[johnnyk71]

Gator mission was a success! Not trad, so i won't post any pics here, but MAN what an awesome experience! Got a 7-footer. Not a monster, but it was the biggest one we saw, and it was an epic battle!

[Possum Head]

Congrats on the gator pal!
