    This is very excellent.  Not many HiE fics catch my interest these days, but yours sure has.  I will definitely favorite this and await further chapters.  Keep up the great work!  :raritywink:

    This is actually strangely good. At first I thought "meh, I'll just read the first chapter" then "2 can't hurt" next thing I know, I'm 7 chapters in.

    Sounds a bit familiar... :rainbowderp:

    OK, I chugged the whole 10 chapters. Must say, I'm impressed. I especially liked Celestia's part, you portrayed her in a rather unique way that you don't really see too often.

    I really like it, aside from a few spelling errors I can't see anything wrong. One thing you shouldn't do, though, is chapter dump; space them out a bit more and release them at set intervals (say, 1 chapter every 2-3 days).

    Awesome! An update! I was a bit worried for James towards the end there. Thought Rainbow was gonna mutilate him. Keep up the great work!

    Y U NO SPELL RIGHT?! :facehoof:

    torchered -> tortured

    personell -> personnel

    There were one or two more, but those are the ones that stuck out. I guess I shouldn't complain too much, if anything your spelling has improved over the course of this story. I think I just find it particularly irritating because you actually know how to write, you're not some nub scibbling up half-assed self-insert clopfics. Perhaps even more so because everything else about your writing is flawless: structure, format, and all that (barring the occasional punctuation error). But when you misspell, you do it HARD. Bugs me, it does.

    Keep up the good work though, this is getting good. :pinkiehappy:

    Ugh I remember my basic training in the Army.  Besides getting smoked for the majority of mistakes of others (normally over something extremely stupid [When the Drill Sergeants give crisp precise instructions there is no reason to make it confusing and start questioning back]).

    Amazing story! Loving everything about! Keep it coming! I really enjoy the mature route you are taking with this story and MLP FiM in general. I can really feel the emotion from the characters.

    You made one mistake in Chapter 2.  There is no "coast of Afghanistan".  The entire country is landlocked.

    Aside from that its a fun read and I hope he can get a griffon friend so he can finally get some meat.

    thier -> their

    elliciting -> eliciting

    woundered -> wondered

    There were others of course, but those stuck out, as versus the others with seemed more like actual typos rather than misspellings

    .>>1014042 >>1014569 Nice to know I'm not the only one being bugged by that. Like I said before, it's only annoying because he's doing everything else right.

    Yeah it's weird, the story flows well and is facinating but the spelling shows up due to that.

    payed = paid

    What adventures will follow our Spec Op Ponies? Will James ever be able to overcome his PTSD? Will James and Rainbow finally hook up? Stay tuned our fellow ponies for the next exciting episode of Displacement!

    Also as pointed out by others the spelling errors are somewhat (although less of an issue for me) annoying. I'm sure there are editors willing to help you out. Make the bridge!

    as he pulled the trigger, the biggest grin just spread across his face, and out of nowhere, the faintest of songs could be heard. "...Come on and smile.....Come on and Smile!"
