No SOCOM, that is fine. What about getting para or air assult wings? I assume HALO & pathfinder is out? Lastly how about Ranger school? Nothing like a yellow tab on your shoulder. (PS It makes you bullet proof

Chuck, you should have no issues and you certainly have my blessing... Also I believe your worries should be minimal as we've had at least one game using GR's Testament book played here with no issues.Vigilance said:

Fewer people usually does speed things up. Now, what's your posting requirement? Some games want daily, others 3-4 times a week, 1-2 times a week, once every hour, etc.Vigilance said:
And just so you know, I have family vacation with my folks (8/18-21) and then with my wife's folks (8/26-30) where I will undoubtedly not have 'net access. What can I say? Its nearing the end of summer.

Background Information
Born in Huron, Michigan to Christian Lebanese immigrants in 1975, Scott was a troubled child who had trouble fitting into the structures of normal life. After a brush with the law immediately after high school, he decided the Army was the right move and joined in 1993, reaching active service in the infantry immediately after Operation: Desert Storm. He served for over five years in the Balkans, then was stationed in Turkey where he was assigned the training of new soldiers in marksmanship and basic tactics in the field. Scott learned Arabic before he could speak English, and his skills were put to good use in 2001 after the attacks of 09/11. He was immediately put into action in Afghanistan, where he worked alongside military intelligence in the interrogation of foreign fighters from Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Since 2004, he has been in Iraq, fighting a mostly defensive battle against the insurgency that refuses to die.
Personality
A career soldier, Scott is well respected within the Company, having served with the majority of officers when they were recruits. He has short patience for those he counts as fools, which has limited his advancement. After a long 17 years of service, he has pretty much decided he will die an Infantryman, and shows a dedication to his unit and Army beyond most. Scott tends towards a gruff attitude, especially with fresh troops, which has led to his nickname of ‘Bear’. He is known amongst the men as a mean, tough old bastard, and does his best to keep up that image. The only person in Echo Company that sleeps in his armor, Scott has an edurance that boggles the mind, especially for young recruits still getting accustomed to the desert climate and heavy packs.
