You awake from cryostasis in your Standard Military CS Uniform, yawning as you stretch out the rigidness that can come from staying in one position for so long. You look around, noticing you’re aboard the faithful vessel with its dreary grey walls, the USS Sulaco. You climb out of your cryotube and immediately step away from the computer to light up a blunt. Not like anything interesting is going to happen right away anyways."

The people of the United States Marine Corps are our protagonist. These are the guys you call in to deal with the problems you have, maybe a band of space pirates, maybe a group of colonial rebels, or maybe even worse. In theory. In practice, it's more like Keystone Kops with explosives. This page is how people will play the listed positions all too often, and you should try not to emulate them!
