[quote=WilsonTurner] Remember, Enalias, that there is also the APIRCA. They're a much bigger association: They specialize in weapons and technology development, but aren't strangers to being a PMC. Merrick's Rangers will more than likely see APIRCA as one of these two:A major rival, orSomething everyone wants to join.The APIRCA, again, are much bigger, better equipped, and are more mobile. However, the Bahamas would be a spot that one could see a APIRCA ship often enough, though certainly not the same ship for an extended time. If someone means to contact the APIRCA, do tell me. I still need inspiration for my first post, since I'm not very skilled with actual characters. I find my own characters... inadequate, lacking of real personality. That's what happens when I have to have more than one or two distinct characters. [/quote] Merrick's Rangers are what we used to call in Afgan shadow operators they got the job done quietly and efficently with what they had on hand and often operated deep behind enemy lines they know how to hold their own because when you're 100+ miles behind enemy lines evac isn't exactly getting to you if you mess up so you have to be a well trained operator there and yes while their tasks are small they are very much needed in war and it's what they excel as for your group i don't think any operator would want to join or hate you they know that if someone needs them then they will go they don't care about competition just results.
