Whats funny is the ranks that the US goes up in apparently are for the marines but the medal you get for playing as the US is the NAVY CROSS lol.

Wow...um...wow. Please do a little more research before you post something like this.  The USMC really is awarded the NAVAL CROSS because they are a sub-division of the NAVY.  They do really get the naval cross for an award.  Its hard as hell to get but it does happen.  The USMC in a sense is more the expeditionary force of the navy with its own command.  But they are the ones who are on the Navy's ships, use the Navy's transports, and land on the shores in amphibious attacks. So yes anyone who knows something about the military knows full well that marines get the navy cross.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH .... you just pwned a 12 year old kid from Poland or something ... but damn I wanted to say the same thing! HAHAHAHAHAHAH

I wonder if the Airborne Specialist ribbon is for BF Special FOrces and is the equivelent to
the vanilla ribbon.  Just jumping out of a plane or helo that is very high up and getting
that 10 second descent, if that doesnt award it.

Doesn't work.  A while back I tried just about everything I could think of to get this ribbon.  Since it's the "Airborne Specialist" ribbon and not the "Aviator Specialist" ribbon, it would make sense it has to do with parachuting.

So let's see the list of things I tried...

1. Killing people while parachuting.  I killed 8 people while my parachute was out and got no ribbon.  8 is a lot.  I can't imagine them making the number any higher than 5, even though I think that is a bit high.  I'm 100% certain this is not the way to get the ribbon.

2. Constantly parachuting for over one minute.  It's safe to say that you won't get this ribbon simply by parachuting from a high altitude.  After taking the blackhawk up as high as it would go on Ghost Town and parachuting out (I believe it was over two minutes, actually), I did not receive the ribbon.

3. Ten different >10 second long parachute jumps in one round.  Nope, no dice here either.  I just used the blackhawk to repeatedly gain altitude and jump out, but after ten jumps I still have yet to receive the ribbon.

4. Over one hour of total time in parachute mode.  Also untrue.  I just reached an hour of parachuting not long ago and did not receive the ribbon.

There were others I had tried, but they were dumb and I didn't actually think they would work.  ...And they didn't.

Is it me or do people have the SF airborn ribbon because it says a few people have it.

There are 14 people who have it, but i dunno who it is. But if you find out, ask them.

Adogg, this isnt meant as a slam. even though it was said at least once before, the USMC is an expeditionary force.  In BF2, the US invades other countries, in a sense, it isnt really defending the US as much as it is defending US interests(IN A GAME). The marines are usually one of the first if not the first military element to enter any combat zone on the ground as a representative of the US military. The Army is usually called into prolonged combat situations. Once again, the USMC is an expeditionary force.  The Army isn't in the game. Why it is not, i dont know....Is it just me or has this thread gotten off topic for the most part? I definitely havent helped trying to keep it on topic. Just my 2 cents

Hey..

Cool but not really.

You start that it's just BF2 and then... cough...
It is NOT for real.. 55555+++++
