Description
Cpl Miles Vining is a United States Marine Corps infantryman that completed two combat deployments in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. He is also an author and small arms enthusiast. We have a really good discussion covering Vining's role as an infantryman and his thoughts on the M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle. Vining's unit was one of the first to receive the new IAR and he has an interesting insight into the procurement process.We also discuss Vining's time with the Walking Dead (1/9) and what that unit's legacy meant to the Marines that served in it. We also get into the 2011 deployment he and 1st Battalion 9th Marines completed in the Helmand Province district of Nawa.As always, make sure to subscribe and share the show!YouTube: http://bit.ly/formeractionguysYouTubeSpotify: http://bit.ly/formeractionguysGooglePlay: http://bit.ly/formeractionguysGoogleApplePodcast: http://bit.ly/formeractionguysAppleContact:Website: www.jcramergraphics.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/formeractionguys Instagram: www.instagram.com/jcramergraphics Twitter: https://twitter.com/4meractionguys Email: formeractionguyspodcast@gmail.com Reference:117 - Backpackable radio for tactical use152 - Walkie-talkie style tactical radio7-Ton - Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (Dump truck-sized military vehicle for hauling troops, supplies, etc.)9-Line - CAS mission brief formatABC - ANGLICO Basic CourseANG - Air National GuardANGLICO - Air Naval Gunfire Liaison CompanyBLT - Battalion Landing TeamBRC - Basic Reconnaissance CourseCAR - Combat Action RibbonCAS - Close Air SupportCCT - Combat Control TeamCLB - Combat Logistics BattalionCO - Commanding OfficerCOC - Command Operations CenterCOP - Combat OutpostCorpsman - Navy medic attached to MarinesEOD - Explosive Ordnance DisposalFAC - Forward Air ControllerFCT - Firepower Control TeamFDC - Fire Direction ControlFET - Female Engagement Team.FSCC - Fire Support Coordination Center.
