Fruity Rudy from Generation Kill is your pointman.

Captain Price's moustache as the CO.

James Ramirez as the new guy.

I would rather have Sousuke Sagara at the point man,

Forrest Gump as the Dumb Muscle Idiot Hero.

Generic, but Private Jackson as the designated marksman.

Nah, Jack O'Neil should totally be the CO.

"Two 'l's. That guy had no sense of humor."

Valmet for assaulter.

Master Chief to just come in and say "Ya'll aren't needed."

Ehem. John Matrix.

Lt. Sulu and Corporal Ferro are the transport pilots.

and Ray on ripped fuel as your driver.

Ray is the Communications Officer (his nominal job in First Recon, despite actually spending all of his time driving the truck). Just imagine him making all his radio reports in that Ripped Fuel flow of consciousness way of his.

A minor interruption of your silliness:

Despite what some sites and liberal rags believe, things like golf courses, concerts and other fun events are funded by the "profits" from the base exchanges. The reason this proposal is being put forth is to pump money due to force cutbacks. Fewer active duty shopping hits the brick and mortar profits. And yes that includes golf courses.

I hate golf, a good walk spoiled, but a lot of families and soldiers from all ranks love to play. One barracks rat I knew had a $2,000 set of clubs.

I hope this goes through, not because I salivate at the low, low prices for computer parts, but also because that money helps brighten the days of families. A concert, reading and outdoor activities for the kiddies, golf courses, swimming pools and other things for military families and single Joes on post.

There is BOSS (Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers) and now there is BOSP (Better Opportunities for Single Parents). The military changes with society, I can't wait for the first on post pride parade, Pride days are already marked on post calendars.

A random US Navy enlistment rank question.

Is it plausible for someone to get discharged as a SEAL petty officer first class in 8 years?

Honorably or dishonorably?

Preferrably the former.

Russia's information operations in Sweden

RE: Discharge as an E-6 in eight years in the Navy. It's possible, but not likely. The Navy has a slower promotion system than the Army. Even with SEAL teams. BUD/S is the start not the end of training. In Rouge Warrior, Marcinko wrote that it took two years for a SEAL to pass all qualifications and be vetted as a SEAL. Someone could just ETS (end their contract), but they'd be unlikely to make E-6 in eight years and be fully qualified.

I see. Then E-5 sounds more plausible.

India and the US have just signed the LEMOA, which is basically an agreement to use each other's facilities in containing China.

Well, that's going to give Beijing something to think about.

So, you guys are going to do more help keep China in China now?

May I ask what?

It's a logistics agreement.

What India is currently working on with the US is anti-submarine warfare.
