The Search For Mecca OOC

[BlueMary]

Because it looks neat and it makes sense for a recon unit.

Lookie!

 

[Jedi_Khan]

Interesting, but what does it do, exactly, and how?

 

[BlueMary]

I should really really stop assuming random things that pop into my head are common knowledge.

Copy paste time!

The armor has active camouflage systems that, when activated, generate a modulating field that transmits the reflected light from one side of an object to the other, making a person much harder to notice (but not completely invisible).

Anyways, I'm off for now. Things to be done.

 

[Jedi_Khan]

Evening, ladies.

Just to confirm, our unit was a platoon, consisting of about 30 to 50 soldiers, right? Or was it a company, consisting of several platoons?

 

[BlueMary]

Dangit. I was hoping that unit was an actual set number of troops. Darn you, wiki!

 

[Serowyn]

lol kinda why i used the term, so we can dictate the size ourselves.

 

[BlueMary]

It might make more sense for something like the size of a platoon of company to be left behind. With anything bigger, one would think they would have waited a bit longer to get the rest. *shrugs*

 

[Jedi_Khan]

Well, the reason why I asked was because the size of the unit determines the highest rank present. A platoon would have a lieutenant, while a company would have a captain.

 

[Serowyn]

lol ok well you guys get technical about it . I'm gonna go sleep my blonde head.

 

[Jedi_Khan]

Oh, sure. Escape responsibility. That's just great, Serowyn, just f-ing great.

 

[BlueMary]

Heck, to make the situation more desperate it could have been something like a regiment and slowly has been slowly whittled down until this ambush that took down a decent chunk, along with the commanding Colonel.

 

[Jedi_Khan]

That would suck...royally.

 

[BlueMary]

Yeah, it'd suck. Suck awesomely.

 

[Jedi_Khan]

Absolutely.

 

[Serowyn]

bleh i cant sleep. you guys done all my responsibilitizing for me yet?

 

[Jedi_Khan]

No. Now get to work.

 

[Qyron]

Well, can I join the party, or am I being left by the door to dry?

 

[Jedi_Khan]

Oh, hello Qyron. Good thing you spoke up, I had a feeling that Serowyn had completely forgotten about you.

 

[BlueMary]

I'm all for regiment getting demolished. My vote!

 

[BlueMary]

*prods Serowyn* Qyron's in?

 

[Serowyn]

*looks down* kinda about half way he could get in deeper...OH you mean the thread... hmm i have no problems with him joining.

However i am wondering why soldiers are carrying around emergency medical kits. Is that standard issue in the military? And I didn't forget I just never noticed him in the first place. sorry

....I don't want to know what prompted that first line.

As for med kits, soldiers are typically issued a first aid kit, usually containing tape, gauze, bandages and maybe a couple of items that a solider could use on himself. Items like morphine, needles and thread, and other near surgical items are the property of the field medic.

 

[Serowyn]

lol k i'll be good.. Since i've forsaken sleep i'm going to post now unless someone else has started one. So we're going with demolished regiment? Unknown numbers left alive?

 

[Qyron]

In Portugal, the Recon, Assault and Commando units have assigned each trooper a small emergency medical kit. I used what I know, but it can go away...

 

[Serowyn]

Nah i just dont know not a military brat i just play one in rp .
