Operation Medical Pigeon

Calm in the face of fire. Constantly whispering sweet nothings about survival while dealing with casualties. Was basically the angel of healthcare. 10/10 would take a fire bomb again.

LT Havercruft, United States Marine Corps, distinguished himself with EXTREME valor as a Platoon Leader, 1st Platoon, Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines during Operation Medical Pigeon on 31 March 2024. With the Platoon busy having a day on the town, LT Havercruft selflessly stayed behind to protect the Ambassador to Cheltnam. Enemy Chelt insurgents infiltrated into the Ambassador's house, and planted explosives. LT Havercruft located the ticking time bomb, immediately picked it up and ran with it to keep the VIP safe. His selflessness, risking it all for the free world is the pinnacle of valor. The distinctive accomplishments of LT Havercruft reflect great credit upon himself, the United States Marine Corps, and the Department of Defense.


*Note to Uncle Ted & Uncle Bobby K. I think Uncle John F. would be proud of me. Following the award of my medals and my tour of duty, I am looking forward to coming home and running for Senate. I expect this will all be arranged for me.*

While I am no expert in the defusal of UXO I feel it important to highlight to the command that 2LT Havercruft should in no way ever be sent near anything to do with or related to the identification/Defusal of explosives without further basic training on how to deal with them. I am bringing this to the attention of the command due to a recent incident during endgame reds tasking to protect the ambassador in Saigon.

The initial action taken by 2LT Havercruft having found what he believed to be a small explosive device close to the Ambassador's house was to throw it away into some boot-high grass on the edge of the compound. From here his actions made the search and disposal of said suspect device harder, the boot-high grass requiring searching for the device. In his attempt to help pinpoint the device, he used a smoke grenade that due to prevailing wind conditions blanketed the search area with smoke making the search more difficult and dangerous for the unit attached Seabee. After a search of the area by the units attached Seabee RDX after the removal and clearing of the smoke grenade and its smoke no device could be found. I can only assume 2Lt Havercruft despite his insistence on finding an explosive device must have mistaken a stick or some other inert object as a bomb.

Recognising a comms fault, Pvt Disco stepped up on her own initiative to relay messages between the command team, enabling an effective withdrawal from the AO under challenging conditions.

Pvt Hosepipe kept his head throughout the mission, keeping a clear line of communication to keep command informed what the fuck was going on.

In his guide as Sandy Lead, the LCpl delivered consistently accurate ordnance on target, screening Endgame Red from superior enemy numbers and destroying numerous automatic weapons threatening the squad.

Dear Kimberly Rae,

Today I saved the life of the Ambassador to Cheltnam! The dastardly enemy infiltrated into the Ambassador's house, and planted a bomb in the atrium. Alone and unafraid, I single handedly cleared the house of Chelt. I located the planted explosives and bravely ran with it out of the building, keeping the world safe for democracy. You would be very proud of me. I plan on putting myself in for the Medal of Honor. I am selfless, to a fault.

Yours,

QQ Havercruft III
