Wednesday, October 16th, 2013Mil-Spec Monkey Logo Spotted In Call Of Duty: Ghosts Footage
Thursday, August 22nd, 2013This article was featured yesterday on Tactical Fanboy.
I was watching some of the alpha multiplayer footage from Call of Duty: Ghosts and I noticed a very familiar looking logo being used as a player emblem. Specifically, it’s the Mil-Spec Monkey logo, slightly altered to include either some frost or a white beard along the chin. I contacted Monkey directly about spotting this, to get his take on its inclusion in the game. The verdict? While I wasn’t flat out told directly, it doesn’t look like its use was authorized by Monkey himself.
It can be seen in this video around the 1:30 and 1:50 marks.

V-22 Joins HMX-1
Friday, April 12th, 2013
The Marine Corps has added the V-22 to the aircraft at HMX-1 tasked with Presidential and executive support. Notice the paint job does not include the white top so we’d be safe in surmising that this will be used for support functions.
Still not sure on the designation, so for now, this remains an MV-22 which in and of itself is ridiculous for a Marine aircraft to carry the M prefix, long used for Special Operations aircraft.
