Thats because I went to MCT when you were in Middle school.

Yeah, I agree, it sounds sorta like negligence -- we got more training in Army Infantry OSUT than it sounds like the Marines are getting now in SOI.

Hey guys

sorry for the timeline being off. I don't have access to any t2k books whatsoever. And since its been at over 10 years since I played I can't remember what happened when.

I really Appreciate LAWs imput!!!

The character is based loosely on an actual woman, so I was hoping to keep the bouncer part in there. The Time frame on tht really doesn't matter as long as its some time during the 1990's.

Also it's cool that you mentioned SERE school in Bangor. I have been there as well as to the Navy SERE school at Redington pond Maine as a civilian.

I'm really not sure what game I am making her for she might end up as part of a story because I have no actual way to use her in a game.

I wouldn't say that is was negligence as far as infantry Marines skipping MCT, as much as for us not getting hands on with crew served weapons was. MCT is pointless, if your whole term spent in the fleet is going to be in infantry. I think when I was in the military in general was on tight budget, the Marines are always on a tight budget anyway. Infantry will always be the first area that gets cheated when it comes to funding. Now days the military gets more funds so training might be better. We used to have to borrow the MOUT town at Camp Pendleton, today 29 Palms has their own. Things have most likely improved. More money means more bullets and less saying the phase "bang".

Quick question....can anyone tell me whether female Marines would have been eligible to serve as Marine Security Guards at US Embassies in a T2K timeline?

Thanks

[Legbreaker]

Given both men and women are eligible for all jobs/careers in T2K, there is no reason why not. RL may be different, but this is a game and we can do whatever we like with it.

Personally I feel embassy guards are more likely to be female than male in T2K given that men are needed on the front lines in true combat positions.

Very true. To each their own - personally, wherever possible I like to ground my T2K work in reality as much as I can.

Therefore let me rephrase my question...

Can anyone confirm 100% whether or not female Marines were eligible to serve as Marine Security Guards in real life at US Embassies overseas during the period 1995 - 1997?

Thanks

Law, I imagine you'd be able to answer this one...
