Because according to my research, and my general opinion, it's correct.I tried to make each branch of service have some elite units.  Information on the marines was hard to come by, because of the Marine's assertion that ALL Marines are elite.Would you rather I gave the impression the Marines were inferior by giving them no elite units?Well- that's easy enough to house rule.  Just add that you have at least one level of Force Recon in addition to the other prerequisites.  Or, you could just run them as Force Recon class members with the Signals and Signal Warfare MOS.Any place the text makes mention of you needing the Active Duty allegiance to take something, it is specifically and only to TAKE IT.  In other words, you have to be on active duty to receive Seabee training, at any time thereafter you can go on reserve status.[qupte]p. 65 M249: The M60 has been replaced for quite some time. "Minimi" is not a slang term, it's part of the actual name of the weapon.</blockquote>My research indicated otherwise.  And it was an official marine site that named that as slang. Go figure <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />This is a mistake- and the lack of "A2" at the end of the designation seems to be HUGE, MAJOR, LARGE, and KEY, according to the VAST AMOUNT of mail I have received on this topic.You may sleep soundly knowing that "A2" will in fact appear in the new edition of the book which I have spent all weekend working on. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />[/QUOTE]
