I've been thinking of throwing in some sort of prior military experience for Psyche-Out. Maybe make it so that he went and enlisted in the Army for a hitch straight out of high school (maybe he went into intelligence -- cryptologic linguist, maybe? -- that would fit in well with the parabolic mic) and that's how he was later able to afford to go to UC Berkeley and get his bachelor's and doctoral degrees in psychology (by using his GI Bill benefits). That makes sense. I don't think he needs to be in the service long. especially since he needs to get a Doctorate degree. My Dad was a cryptologist for a while in the Marines, and a Survival Instructor in Pensacola, Plus he had Fleet Marine Duty a couple of times when I was little |

Seen the new vehicles? I'm loving that new Ferrett that has the Leatherneck repaint. Loving the T.O.W.-like missile it has on it that looks like it can be removed (it has a stand on it). That ATV, with the cargo areas on it, would make a great ambush vehicle. Drive that into the woods, set up the T.O.W. and away you go.

Looks nice. But for my money, nothing beats the Bazooka Vespa. The Vespa people should re-issue one for the Army just for kicks.

I remember seeing an old video of a French paratrooper actually demonstrating one. You'd think that it would be a bitch to ride and fire at the same time, but you have to remember that it's a recoilless rifle that the guy sits on, so it's relatively stable. It's the guy riding behind him that should be worried though, since that's where all the searing hot exhaust gases from the anti-tank weapon are going to be vented towards (not to mention the "exhaust gases" that'll come from the Vespa's driver, after the ball-shrinking and bowel-wrenching physiological responses directly caused by having a freaking cannon fired between one's legs ).

So I'm really really liking the new Joe Ferrett with the T.O.W. missile. I don't know why, but that just looks like a very cool and functional vehicle.
I'm thinking of making a squad of those. A special Alpha Team, forward recon/first assault kind of unit. That's probably my favorite vehicle of all the RoC ones.

Should the barracks be coed?

No such thing as co-ed barracks in any of the services, as far as I know.

That's what I figured. Oh well, there'll be enough women to give 'em their own floor. It's the officers, there won't be many female officers so maybe have to make a 1/2 level for the officer barracks.

Barracks level. The enlisted will be identical. Not sure how many levels there will be yet. Still fleshing out my total Joe Unit size.
Sleeps 76 enlisted, 2 per room. Along the bottom, the long skinny room is the shower room. In the middle, the big room is the rec. room, the tiled room is the toilet room and the big carpeted room is the "Floor Sargeants" room. I may do some more detail and lay out a typical room. May lay out the shower and the bathrooms and throw some stuff in the rec room. Not sure yet. I'm sure barracks have an "officer in charge" kind of thing, right? Kind of like an RA in a college dorm?
