The 689th Combat Communications Wing decided not to roll in via the bus, but to present themselves &#8216;Combat Comm style&#8217; by marching into the competition festivities and letting out a big &#8220;COMBAT COMM!&#8230; FEAR THE BEAST!&#8221; war cry. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our Combat Comm Airmen just couldn&#8217;t ride the bus into the opening ceremonies, it&#8217;s really not how we roll&#8230;said Capt. Scott Hinck, 689th CCW, GC project officer. &#8220;Our Team Wrangler, liaison NCO, Staff Sgt. Lynda Fauland, was caught a little off guard as we didn&#8217;t stick to the program but I think that we showed those in attendance what being in Combat Comm is really all about &#8211; &#8216;making it happen&#8217; &#8211; setting up bare bases and providing combat communications in the most austere locations around the world.&#8221; <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.afspc.af.mil\/news\/story.asp?id=123206743\">more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":615444,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-air-force-space-command"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/615444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
