Apparently the idea that I was making the game "realistic" (Isn't the Air Farce still a branch of the military?) and "too" military fell on deaf ears and they were baffled by my assumptions. Who knew? With all the training listed, this would allow for characters that turned down the "offer" to explore other "RAINBOW SIX" type mission. Or playing with the guys in the CIA or any other alphabet organization...like the NID.

The various FTX's (field training exercises) are a culmination of the prior week's training and can also require subjects learned in previous training weeks. All FTX's are not scipted to allow for GM control but should reflect learned training. Any of the training can be skills already known or inspiration checks. The Snatch and Grab FTX is the first experience with a current SG member that does not reveal himself. This member is there to do an initial eval of the characters while serving as the function being the Target. Remember the first scene of the movie Air Force One? This is the concept of the mission. Recover the Kermit FTX is a mission designed for the team to discreetly infiltrate an area, get an item, and get out. QUIETLY! The Son Tay Raid FTX is designed for the players to get involved in the planning process of recovering POW's (more SG team members) at an existing ramshackle prison but too much planning can backfire and the POW's will be moved to another location and "disappear". Stoner's Revenge FTX is designed for the characters to experience "Brown Water" Navy techniques and start a mission with only the rubber training knives and progressively work their way up to bigger and better toys. Any of Richard Marcinko's Seal Team Books would be good fodder here. The Robin Sage FTX is meant to have the characters as POW's and see what their reactions would be. How long do the stay? Do they contract some sort of sickness (Beri-beri)? Do they break out? Who do they contact? Are they able to liberate the other POW's in the facility? How many can they evac out? Does the facility get leveled with a good Arty strike before enemy replacements can show up? Its up to the GM to direct the "HOW'S" of the training missions. In my game, my OPFOR is a RED SCORPION faction that speaks nothing but LATIN. They are all armed with communist bloc weaopns and equipment. The Latin language allows for the characters to have an "inside edge" and possibly tip the hand of the OPFOR in the favor of the characters. GO GO Gadget Enigma machine! I peruse many d20 sites and feel compelled to share my findings/droppings with the audience to allow them more of a selection. I'm using a thread on toxins I found on one of the other boards to simulate the effects of the chemical agent BZ from 'Nam.(The movie Jacob's Ladder is an example of this):The team horribly failed its mission with Tribe X from planet P4-XYZ and the locals got INCREDIBLY hostile. One of the marines from the security element (that never said a word) loaded up his M203 grenade launcher with ammo I've never seen before and pumped a few rounds into the center of the males in the tribe. The rounds just kinda popped and sprayed some sort of aerosol everywhere. Then all the tribal males went crazy and started beating each other to a bloody pulp and worse. The tribal females weren't any better off cuz a few of the males went to violently raping them. It was horrible.The marine commander continued to hurry everyone towards the gate and left a few snipers and spotters behind. We stayed at the gate a few hours and then the marine sniper team came back. I overheard them laughingly tell the commander that they didn't have to shoot anyone. Everyone had died from their injuries or heart failure from the BZ. The area was secured for the next step of the Operation.It was then the Marine commander looked at me and cheerfully said that I was free to do all the research I wanted. I left my lunch on his boots and dialed up the gate.</blockquote>
