1 | !!Abe |
2 | |
3 | * AllThereInTheManual: His last name has yet to appear in the comic itself. |
4 | * AuthorAvatar: Like Uriarte, he has a surname that is difficult to pronounce and is a Lance Corporal in the infantry. (Also, while the name "Belatzeko" appears to be vanishingly rare in real life, it's very similar to "Belasco/Velasco"--which, like "Uriarte," has its origin in Basque culture.) |
5 | * LimitedAdvancementOpportunities: Abe is a Terminal Lance, a Marine who will never see advancement beyond Lance Corporal. One strip shows that he's been demoted more than a few times and made his way back up to Lance Corporal. |
6 | |
7 | !!Cone |
8 | |
9 | * DrunkenMaster: He's able to perform astonishing feats while heavily intoxicated, such as setting the battalion record on a run. |
10 | * RealPersonCameo: Tyler Cone was a friend of Uriarte who committed suicide in February of 2014. |
11 | |
12 | !!Garcia |
13 | |
14 | * CoolOldGuy: Compared to Abe, he's older (roughly mid-20s) and a bit more calm. |
15 | * GratuitousSpanish: Only during Abe's zombie fantasy. Garcia [[LampshadeHanging bluntly responds]] that [[AvertedTrope he doesn't actually talk that way]]. |
16 | * OnlySaneMan: Generally the most mature and level-headed character in the comic. Not that that's saying much... |
17 | |
18 | !!Creepy Chaplain |
19 | |
20 | * AbhorrentAdmirer |
21 | * DepravedHomosexual |
22 | * HelloSailor: The United States Marine Corps uses Navy chaplains, so he is necessarily this, although not in the usual form. |
23 | * MemeticMolester: Invoked within the strip by characters. According to Uriarte, he's not based on any real-life person (Uriarte says the chaplains he knew were good guys), but that chaplains in general are acceptable targets. |
24 | |
25 | !!Jody |
26 | |
27 | * SerialHomewrecker: Jody exists only to sleep with military wives and girlfriends while their respective husbands/boyfriends are deployed. |
28 | |
29 | !!Boot |
30 | |
31 | * BlackBeadEyes: Boots are drawn this way to emphasize just how much they are subhumans. |
32 | * ButtMonkey: The point of Boot is to get fucked around because no one likes or respects him, be it forcing him into doing more work or just being a plain jerk to him because that's what happens to boots. |
33 | * NewMeat: Boots are just out of boot camp and perform actions (such as their preferred civilian attire) that make them stand out like sore thumbs. |

36 | !!That Guy |
