Can't outsource a top secret operation that exists outside the normal branches of the DoD and technically "does not exist".
:/

Who do you think cleans CIA HQ? It's not Secret Agents. We outsource that - including the National Clandestine Services (Special Activities Division). Same at Ft. Bragg with Special Operations Command, including Special Forces. Yeah, we do it all the time. Enjoy your Joes; Kill the Terrorists; Leave the cleaning and food prep to the pros, bro. ;)

Just read IDW #8
Loved the beginning with the talk between the Troopers and the Baroness. Had a real military operational tone to it, same with Duke leading the Joes thru the castle. The Baroness asking the Trooper what their primary mission objective is and then countermanding it and the Trooper making sure she's taking responsibility for it. Just from that can gather that the Commander doesn't take kindly to failure.

So I went to Wal-Mart last night, they had the Ice Dagger.
Been to Tru couple days before, had a couple Dragonhawks and the Skysweeper. Had stopped at TRU last night, no Dragonhawks by the Skysweeper. Went to both Wal-mart and TRU tonight, meaning to pick up either the Ice Dagger or Sky Sweeper. Both were gone. I was pissed.

lol Black
See my problem with the cleaning staff is... you have this big ol' hidden mountain fortress, with all the security associated with it.. And you're going to let a cleaning service come in every couple of days? Isn't that a HUGE security risk? Even vetting the cleaning service and it's staff, you have the service vehicles driving out to the middle of nowhere.. Just seems like a huge risk.

But the PITT was buried under Fort Wadsworth.
It was hard enough preventing the Chaplain's Assitants from catching on...

The base personnel is the issue keep running into. Makes the team HUGE.
The way I figure it is that say the overall size needs 4 vehicle mechanics. Clutch can double as a mechanic when not on a mission, he wouldn't be the guy in charge of the motor pool that has to be a non-mission guy, but he can be one of the mechanics. Maybe Crankcase is also a mechanic. So if there's 4 mechanics required, with 2 of 'em being mission Joes, then that means that there HAS to be 2-3 non-mission personnel to keep the place running when others are on a mission. Sure, they'll be short handed but there has to be people there to do everything. Then have to get into the mess hall staff, the cleaning/maintenance staff, all the admin/office stuff that is required (finance clerks, file clerks, etc..). Making the PIT a "real" entity is a pain in the butt and kind of boring, lol Also, not only do we need Maintenance guys for the vehicles, but also all the tanks, not to mention the aviation team. I wonder how many people it'd take to detail the MCC or the Pitt? In my 'verse, BA Barracus is the Mechaical Maintenance guy. (in the same way Hannibal is the Plans officer, Face Man is the logistics officer and Murdock the base Helicopter squadron officer). I've toyed with the idea of a Motor Pool officer called ratchet but haven't assigned a figure or custom to the character yet.. |
