That's cool, I'll pick it up today. I wanted it anyway, so this is a good excuse. I already have the SOCOM book. I'll get you an idea of where my character is headed once I look it over, and I'll finish him up this weekend.
Vigilance said:PS On the issue of playing a game with me, I have never, ever ran a PbP game before, so hopefully you won't be severely disappointed
Chuck
I'm sure you will do fine. Your writing experience will certainly come in handy.
Thanks for the opportunity.

Background -
Mark Meadows was born 12 December 1984 in Salt Lake City and raised in St. George, Utah. His father William (Bill) teaches science at Dixie High School in St. George – his mother Leilani is a homemaker. Mark has six siblings, two brothers and four sisters – he is the second child of the family.
Mark attended public schools in St. George – after graduating he entered Utah State University as biology major (pre-med). During the summers he worked as a hotshot (wildland firefighter) for the Bureau of Land Management. He left school after his sophomore year to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints – his two-year service took him to Taiwan, Australia, and South Carolina. It was in the latter that he met his fiancée, Kimberly Calhoun – Kim’s father and brother were both in the Army, and the family convinced Mark to join up, to compete for medical school scholarship opportunities and gain practical experience before returning to the university.
Mark completed basic training at Fort Benning, Georgia and entered AIT at the U.S. Army Medical Command Center and School at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas – he also married Kim during his stay in the Lone Star state. After training the medic was assigned to the 421st Medical Evacuation Battalion in Wiesbaden, Germany and participated in operations across Europe and North Africa, including several humanitarian efforts. Mark and Kim had their first child, a son named David, in 2007 – a daughter, Mary, was born in early 2009, and Kim is expecting the couple’s third child in September 2010. . In October 2009, Mark was in a Chinook helicopter that crashed on take-off during an exercise in Morocco, suffering injuries to his left arm and shoulder – he recovered at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and rejoined his unit in the beginning of 2010. While recuperating he learned that his brother-in-law Kevin was killed in action in during counter-insurgency operations in Iraq. The grieving medic applied for a transfer to a combat unit in CENTCOM following the tragedy.
Appearance -
Mark is shorter than average with a medium build. His straight black hair and dark brown eyes are a reflection of his mother’s Hawaiian ancestry. He tends to gain weight if he’s not exercising regularly – fortunately his physical training and active duties help to keep him from developing a paunch.
Mark keeps his uniform squared-away and presents a professional appearance while on-duty. Off-duty he tends to be more relaxed, wearing torn t-shirts and ratty shorts as often as Kim will let him get away with it.
Demeanor -
Mark is tactful and professional – he is regularly assigned duty that involves extensive public contact by his NCOs and officers. He is generally easy-going, but Mark is also able to summon an exceptional calm in a crisis, a valuable trait in a combat medic.
Mark enjoys camping and sightseeing – he and Kim have traveled extensively around Europe during his posting in Germany.

Oh wow...backgrounds already...I just did a skeleton to see if it'd be accepted. As for weaponry, what will they have? I didn't fill in the Atk sections because you said you'd be assigning gear. Although as a Infantryman, I may swap out Weapon Focus for Armor Proficiency (light).

Count me in! The PbP I was in over at PlotHook fell apart for lack of posting.
Heading for the RPGObjects Generator now to create. Has a leader been selected yet? Else I'll pick SpecOps.
Characte name: O.D. Green
Let me know if I'm in.
