Yep. Three patrols, until higher pitched a fit when someone saw my crew walking patrol with a pair of MP44's, a 40, and an Iranian MG3 - and no helmet covers. I was told just because I was born in Germany didn't mean I was in the German Army.

Gotta love the Cav: only place in the line army where you can get away with stunts like that - and even then, only because we only had enough long arms for half our men.
