[sblock=Description]
With dark blond hair, brown eyes and a stocky body stretching just short of six feet Bert looks a typical American young man. He also looks older then his actual age of 22. People meeting him for the first time find him withdrawn and somewhat intimidating. An image Bert support by caring a small arsenal of personal weapons with him at all times.

[sblock=Background]
Bert Harrison finished assembling the BAR machine gun. Looking around the room he sow that most of the other squad members were still not done with their own weapons. His eye caught on the red arrowhead insignia patch on everyone's jackets, he could hardly believe he was in the FSSF.
Even after five years in the army Bert sometime felt he was still the 17 years old buy standing before the judge on a winter day. The same day he was given two options - the army or the ýstate penitentiary.
Growing up during the big depression was not the childhood Bert's parents wished for their son. The family went wherever there was work for Mr. Harrison., moving often from one ýdusty mining town to another smoke covered factory town. Bert found it hard to adjust to the constant changing of friends and school, failing in his studies and avoiding the company of others. The only thing that interested him was the motion pictures, especially westerns and gangster movies where one's problems could be solved with a hail of bullets.
By the age of sixteen Bert had quit school working odd jobs here and there trying to help support his family. He soon fell with some people of "questionable" reputation, got involved in an attempted robbery, caught and sentenced. Luckily for Bert the judge gave him the option of enlisting in the army instead of jail. The army may not have considered itself as lucky with the new recruit as Bert proved to be a problematic man. He was constantly getting into troubles with his superiors and fights with his peers. Bert's solution to this was simply to ýdo what little was necessary to avoid serious punishment. He forced himself to endure any punishment given by his instructors and shrugged away insults more often then not. The only ýthing Bert did well was shoot, and that in turn kept him out of military jail as his commanders ýsow a chance of him becoming a soldier after all. Until then he can do manual chores.
As rumors of war in Europe became realty the army was filled with speculation of U.S. ýinvolvement. Bert figured that he may find himself in actual combat soon. He also realized he didn't want to spend his time hauling ammo crates or digging outhouses. Bert started to take his training seriously doing his best to master the skills of an infantryman. He turned his former stubbornness into resolve and inner toughness. He found that hiking for hours in the ýwoods was relaxing, that he can get along better with his squad mates, he even saluted the drill instructors.
The army expanding to meet war needs was a turning point for Bert's military career. He was shipped to a new infantry division where his former troubles were not an issue. He proved to be a good soldier as well as to have a natural aptitude with automatic weapons. Soon he was assigned as squad BAR man, then assistant squad leader and later squad leader. The one flow he was known to have was an itchy trigger finger, or as Bert once said "as long as Uncle Sam is paying for them way should I count bullets".
Bert felt confident in his abilities in the field. He knew he was as good a soldier as any in his company, but was getting an uncomfortable with doing nothing besides training. When he heard of a new special unit seeking volunteers he figured this may be a way to see some action sooner.
