I figured I'd post the full Brood active and former military list.
I had over 10 years with NBC in the US Army. Put out due to line of duty injuries.
Kerrick is currently with the WA State National Guard as a wire-head. I met him at Ft. Hood.
Platehead is currently serving in Iraq. (3 years so far) Not bad for a little brother who always thought I was an idiot.
Rapidfire is an Ex-Medic (4 years), now staying home with 4 kids and married to Platehead. (She met Platehead at Ft Hood)
Heather is a former 8 year Combat Medic with time in Desert Storm and a few other crappy places. (We met at Ft Hood)
Lurch is in Maintenance (15 years), and I'm not sure if he's deployed or home. (Ft Hood AGAIN!)
Bishop is a former Army Ranger now assigned to National Guard Duty. (6 years) I met him on signup boards again, after running into him in some of the most god forsaken places.
Funny, if they had called up IAR, extensive National Guard and the Disabled List, all but ONE of The Brood would have gotten deployed.
ANd Hellhound wouldn't be staring at so many products trying to figure out how to fit them into his schedule.
Of course, if 1/2 of use hadn't gotten deployed or otherwise occupied, 5 manuscripts would be finished. :/
