Buck + Bucky Timeline Info
For fic writers or just curious readers!
Referencing different archives and articles, I've done my best to compile John and Gale's Air Force timeline pre–England, because I feel like a lot of it gets muddied and sometimes we wanna write pre–MOTA canon events lol. Hope it comes in handy!
They meet (on or around) March 29, 1940 and become Flying Cadets at Randolph Field in Texas until August 30, 1940.
Still Flying Cadets, they move to Kelly Field in San Antonio, Texas from September 9, 1940 to November 14, 1940.
Both promoted to 2nd Lieutenant Air Corp Reserve on Nov 15, 1940. A bit unsure on the events before their next promotion, because Gale seems to have gone to Barksdale Army Air Field in LA in March of 1941 for advanced flying school, but haven't found anything on whether John went too; I'm assuming he did.
Both promoted to 1st Lieutenant, Air Corp on April 25, 1942. Not clear on whether this took place in LA or back in Texas or elsewhere.
Became instructors for the 29th Bombardment Group at McDill Air Force Field in Tampa, Florida on May 25, 1942.
Promoted to Captain and transferred to Gowan Field, Boise Idaho, but possibly at different times? All I can find is that by October they were both for sure there, but Gale was promoted to Captain on July 28, 1942 and transferred then, and John was promoted to Captain in August of 1942, but it doesn't specify when he transferred.
At Gowan Field in October of 1942, Gale was promoted to Commanding Officer for the 350th Bomb Squadron/100th Bomb Group, and John was promoted to Operations Officer for the 100th Bomb Group.
Transferred to Walla Walla Army Air Field in Washington in November of 1942.
Transferred to Wendover Army Air Field in Utah in December of 1942.
Both promoted to Majors in Sioux City, Iowa in January of 1943.
Transferred to Kearny, Nebraska (assuming to Kearney Air Force Base) in February of 1943. Cue P1 of MOTA!
In May of 1943, John traveled with an advance party to Podington, England to prepare the base for the 100th Bomb Group. On May 27 1943, Gale (with the 100th) left for Bangor, Maine. From there, he flew out across the Atlantic and arrived at Thorpe Abbotts on June 9 1943. And we know what happens from then on. :-)
If any of this is incorrect or you have extra information to add to the timeline, please let me know!! I wouldn't be surprised if I've missed things, but this is how their flight school/pre–England timeline went to the best of my knowledge. Hopefully this is helpful for some other writers too!
I can throw together a timeline for their missions/events during MOTA as well if that's something anyone's interested in; it's easy enough to find mission dates in comparison to finding these pre–100th dates, but it might be nice to have them all in one place. x

'Warner Bros killed Roosterteeth' Warner Bros didn't make Roosterteeth throw a stand-in word for the f-slur at Kdin Jenzen for years, nearly push Mica Burton to suicide, or crunch their animation employees to the point where they were sleeping in the office but alright.

Looks like Dee's going to be in the @1v1-tmntiteration-battlenexus competition. and this is probably how he ended up there : ). But wish the kid luck, he's going to need it, especially once he gets back home to his very clingy brothers lol

it's about the trust actually. like it's about how when percy originally picked annabeth and gave his reasoning as basically "she would kill me to finish the quest" he did that specifically because He Did Not Trust Her. he absolutely didn't trust that she would have his back and he planned around his certainty that she would put completing the quest above all else
but then in waterland he begs her to let him be the sacrifice, he says "it's why you're on the quest," but he can only ask that of her BECAUSE he trusts her. because he knows she's stronger than him he knows she'll finish the quest he even knows she'll rescue his mom and most of all he trusts her to trust HIM to know all of that and make the right call it's just it's ABOUT the TRUST

So my hc that Soap sometimes gets a little too excited about exploding stuff and... Just ends up blowing them off too close to himself so he has to scatter quickly...
Seems to be proven a little more true when you take in count he, apparently, wears a knee brace.
So you're telling me he probably (dumbly) had too many close calls and had to jump away/from high places to get away.... (I love him a little more everyday)
I'm not saying this could be used as one more way to hurt him...
But I'm exactly saying that

SPOILERS FOR THE BEGINNING OF ACT 3:
So, the Emperor showed up, and between the way he's dressed and the fact that I gave the Guardian a hug...I'm thinking about that tweet about how horny this game is.
Can we...can we fuck the mind flayer, Larian? Is that a thing we can do?
