kanadetachibana: what is gump medal? :)
The Gump Medal existed prior to the 2010 TAW.net website rebuild project. The medal is awarded for actions that resulted in the death of a large number of teammates, resulting in the failure of the attack or strategy.
This medal gets its name and image from the movie Forrest Gump, whose character is portrayed in the medal image. This medal also has on the ribbon the single star shared with all other Division Command awarded medals.
In the movie which is this medal's namesake, Gump often made humorous and inadvertent errors, but was always well meaning. The Gump medal is rewarded for the same, an inadvertent (and often hilarious) battlefield error that resulted in the death of multiple teammates. This medal has also historically been awarded for egregious administrative errors. This is a medal you do not want to receive!

Awarding this to Ffaen, for blowing up the lovingly designed TNT-spleef arena. With TNT.
Why would this receive a gump? It took us about 3hrs to make it. :/
Greetings,

Ffaen, honestly.. that doesn't surprise me :D
I'm afraid I must agree with Eifer on this one.
Gump Medal 41961 awarded by FelixLegion05-22-2013 03:55:35In combat operations on Sunday May 19th Bravo Squad of the 1st Platoon, 3rd Battalion, Arma division successfully raided and cleared an enemy compound. While gathering intelligence from the target area Bravo squad came under heavy enemy counterattack. Bravo's acting Squad Leader Mr. Wolf ordered Kanade to man a captured enemy vehicle mounted grenade launcher to assist in repeling the enemy assault. Upon manning the weapon Kanade promptly fired the grenade launcher on her squad mates, not the enemy advancing on them, seriously injuring several of them. For this we recommend the Gump Medal for Kanade.StonkingByteApproved for sure! Kanade fulfills the goal of truly becoming the enemy while using the captured vehicle :]FelixLegion
That was truly the most clearly Gump worthy situation I had ever seen, I had to write it up :)
But did anybody get killed in it?
LKincheloe: But did anybody get killed in it?
Well it says heavily wounded so I guess not.
