Tyroc, I really like the Skyline card. The bit at the end about the code names is fantastic. I understand what you mean about the formatting. It's a bit of a pain.

Here's my take on Dart. I've liked this figure/character since he came out. His file card said everything Spirit's should have - it made it seem like Dart's work as a tracker was almost like his art. And I gave that analogy some consideration - really, tracking is more about reading nature to find details that other would easily miss.
Poetry is like that. I've never been very good at interpreting most poetry, but Tennyson's work has always spoken to me. I thought about how some of my English professors in College had a way of reading and understanding poetry at another level, and then explaining it to the rest of us in class. We had all read the same poem, but the professor saw details and clues of meaning that we missed. Tracking is like that. We all see the same facts, it's the interpretation that give the truly gifted trackers the clues of meaning that the rest of us miss.

Nice, Oliver, you're just spitting em out left and right. I like the analogy between poetry and tracking. Never thought of it that way before.

I REALLY like the Dart figure, he could so easily pass as both Rambo or Billy from Predator. Marine Deadpool does awesome work. I like the way you've tied tracking to reading nature. I guess in essence it's all about 'telling the story' and it makes alot of sense, given Dart's tribe's presumed tradition of oral storytelling. |

Thanks, guys. I hope there's some quality to go with the quantity ;)

Very nice on Skyline, Tyroc. Love the bit on the teasing. When my brother was in grade school, I teased him about his Joe-MATE, I called him DANIEL WOOD-toner. His dad is from Australia and he's also my Pastor.
Always think "Pawn shop" if a Pastor from Australia says he walked into any shop that sounds strange for a Pastor in a sermon. Otherwise the audience may go into shock. True story.

Does anyone know what MOS Delta guys would most likely have? I figure they may get listed as 18s but I have no idea, maybe they all use a secret one like 92M (mortuary affairs specialists)

There is no MOS for Delta guys that I'm aware of.

I recently read Dart's filecard for the first time and I was impressed. Very well written card.
