(Level 3)Hezekiah's father had vigourously attempted to persuade his son from joining the Marine Forces. Social suicide was the precise term he had used. In his father's eyes, the Marine Forces were the last refuge for lost causes.[/sblock][sblock=Karl Green]Sergeant Rell GossEnlisted 16, 3rd term, 11 years service, age 27. (Level 4)For a Grell, the Marine Forces are the place to be. The Imperial Army treated its Grells as little more than slave labour and cannon fodder. But the Grells in the Marine Force had a long tradition of honourable and distinguished service. Unlike in the Army, Grells could rise to the top of the NCO ranks, and often did.[sblock=Galieo]Corporal William Penshaw StrathmoreEnlisted 17, 4th term, 17 years service, age 34. (Level 5)Two weeks ago, Willian Strathfied was a Corporal in bad standing reduced to a Garrison posting in a dreary naval port. It was a rank and a posting he had fully expected to have to live with for the remaining two and a half years of his fourth term. The transfer to a ship board posting, and the accompanying promotion (back) to Sergeant took him by surprise, as did the name at the bottom of the form, Captain Harrow. Years ago William had been posted to the Cruiser Imperious, along with the then Lieutenant Harrow. William remembers Harrow as a fairly decent sort, as far as officers go. But otherwise, Stathmore would have been hard pushed to remember the man.[/sblock][sblock=Iron Captain]Private Arthur Rutherford IIEnlisted 18, 2nd term, 6 years service, age 24. (Level 4)Arthur well knew of the social stigma of serving in the Marine Forces. But Arthur's father had been a Marine before him, and had both risen to the rank of Sergeant Major as well as made a decent fortune doing so. Arthur was determined to do the same, if not better.[/sblock][sblock=Land Outcast]Private Colbert RobinsonEnlisted 20, 1st term, 3 years service, age 23. (Level 3)Colbert was stunned when his enlistment in the Army was rejected. He had been lead to believe there was a place for him in the Army's Imperial Expedition and Exploration Group. The Expeditionary Group is one of the pre-eminant investigative and research organisations in the country, assigned the responsibility of managing and protecting overseas research projects. Thrown into despondency, Colbert had turned to drink, then the Marine Forces. His acceptance had brought him little joy.[/sblock]</blockquote>
