The new replacements are a varied lot, but all are veterans (4th level minimum) of prior contact with the Haydonite enemy. They are all dedicated, but, as with the situation is with MSgt. Shadd, they are all from different commands, some fleet some Marine. However, at least based off of what you've seen so far, all of the new replacement want to be here and regard the posting as an honor, and a place where they can take the fight to the enemy in fun and creative ways. They are also very keen on the training, enjoying the fact that they can train others. (As an aside, they really like it since they can see how the training is as they are learning the new way as well, and, what better way to learn a thing then to have to teach a thing.)
Regards the Tirolian references… does that to mean you are finishing up some of the books?
