    We may never know the whole story behind this situation. Maybe she didn't want it, but her leadership pushed her to accept it. But who knows...

     

    I know of leadership that doesn't want to give out medals.

     

    To summarize their thoughts: 'Combat arms soldiers are supposed to get shot at/blown up in combat Why do they deserve a medal for that? That's in their duty description'.

     

    And, as a result, hundreds of soldiers came home from this particular deployment without anything at all.

    Let's face the facts, my friends.

     

    With force management (i.e. layoffs) being implemented, one should take the awards and kudos one can get.

     

    The force management board (i.e. the guys that decide upon the layoffs) might have to choose between an E-6 that does have a BSM, and an E-6 that doesn't.

     

    With a situation like this, take a guess as to who will get to stay around, and who will be handed the outprocessing checklist?

     

    With the way things are now, a decision will come down to 'how high is' your physical fitness test score, or how good/not good do you look in your official photo....

    ANG C-5A Skin Add-on

    ANG C-5A Skin addition

     

    1) The attached file includes 'West Virginia Air Guard' on the fuselage of the aircraft, just like the real aircraft.

     

    2) Unfortunately, the lettering only shows up clearly when the gear are up on the aircraft due to the modeling structure of the aircraft.

     

     

    Instructions:

     

    1) Copy file to your C-5A skin directory and allow for override to update the skin.

     

    2) Go fly!

    ANG KC-135R Skins Part 3

    ANG KC-135R StratoTanker Skins Part 3

     

    Contained within this pack are skins for the following ANG units:

     

    117th ARW - Alabama ANG. I found an online photo with a special 'Auburn' tail art on a Alabama ANG KC-135R from 2007.

    126th ARW - Illinois ANG. I found a photo with updated Illinois ANG tail art on airfighters.com from 2011.

    121st ARW - Ohio ANG.

     

    Updated file for Iowa ANG:

    I re-vamped the tail for this aircraft with a new font that closely resembles the actual tail on the 185th ARW's KC-135Rs.

     

    Installation:

     

    1) Unzip and place the Ohio ANG, Alabama ANG 2007 and Illinois ANG 2011 folders in your KC-135R main folder.

     

    2) Add the texture sets to your KC-135R.ini file.

     

     

    [TextureSetxxx]

    Directory=Illinois ANG 2011

    Name=126th ARW 2011

    Nation=USAF

    Specular=0.300000

    Glossiness=1.000000

    Reflection=0.100000

    DecalNumberRandomize=TRUE

    DecalNumberStart=0

    DecalNumberEnd=16

     

    [TextureSetxxx]

    Directory=Alabama ANG 2007

    Name=117th ARW 2007

    Nation=USAF

    Specular=0.300000

    Glossiness=1.000000

    Reflection=0.100000

    DecalNumberRandomize=TRUE

    DecalNumberStart=0

    DecalNumberEnd=16

     

    [TextureSetxxx]

    Directory=Ohio ANG

    Name=121st ARW

    Nation=USAF

    Specular=0.300000

    Glossiness=1.000000

    Reflection=0.100000

    DecalNumberRandomize=TRUE

    DecalNumberStart=0

    DecalNumberEnd=16

     

     

    Open the Iowa ANG tail folder contained in this pack, select the .bmp file in this folder. Open the Iowa ANG folder from the previous pack that you installed. Paste the new .bmp file in this pack in the folder from the previous pack, and allow for overwrite. This will replace the old file with the new (and better!) file.

     

     

    Thanks to the following:

     

    - TK and Thirdwire

    - 'Dave' for the following:

    - For the KC-135R model original release.

    - The 'ANG' on the tail and the ANG emblem on all of the skins were taken from the KC-135E model.

    - Due to lack of references on the tail numbers, all of the skins in this pack use the KC-135E tail numbers.

    Happy Tanking!

    ANG C-130H Skins

    ANG C-130H Hercules Skins

     

    Contained within this pack are skins for the following ANG units:

     

    179th AW - Ohio ANG

    133rd AW - Minnesota ANG

    153rd AW - Wyoming ANG

    130th AW - West Virginia ANG

    143rd AW - Rhode Island ANG

    166th AW - Delaware ANG

    165th AW - Georgia ANG

    182nd AW - Illinois ANG

    136th AW - Texas ANG

    176th WG - Alask ANG

     

    Installation:

     

    1) Unzip and place the folders in your C-130H main folder

     

    2) Add the texture sets to your C-130H.ini file

     

    3) Fly away!

     

    All of the artwork is to the best of my abilities. The Wyoming ANG tail band has a cowboy decal on the actual aircraft, but I was unable to design a suitable decal on the tail, so I left it off. Also, the Rhode Island tailwork is actually on a C-130J model, but I didn't find that out until after I designed the skin, so I included it anyways. Feel free to not install if you so choose.

     

     

    Thanks to the following:

     

    - TK and Thirdwire

    - 'Dave'

    - Original Model by Dels, additional work by bpao (RIP Oli)

    - airliners.net, airfighters.com, and af.mil for skin references

     

    If more credit is due, please speak up!
