Military Questions

Thanks to John A, John R, Glenn, Brian, Don, etc. 

Some good info there, although I am 
moderately perplexed by the USN having both 
Warrants and Petty Officers (I sort of thought 
the warrant ranks were PO equivalent....). 

I'll keep an eye out for that Marine NCO's 
manual. It'd be a good addition (by the sounds 
of it) to the next "Laserlight's Military Favorites" 
CD. 

No matter how much you seem to learn about 
militaria, there seems to be new things to 
absorb. And new stories to hear. I just finished 
reading about the Breakout from Chosin and 
was mightily impressed. Not by the Army Corps 
General who dug the hole for the Marines, but 
by the Marines escape. Now I'm tempted to try 
to figure out a way to do a DS2 or SG2 version. 
I guess a series of linked adventures and lots of 
mountainous terrain, something unusual on 
game boards! Of course, the ESU tactics would 
be simple --> apply the force of numbers and 
fight until you are killed. The NAC marines might 
have a different method of conducting the 
campaign. This goes right up there with my 
firebase Camarein scenario.....
