The idea is pretty much the title, it would detail the lives of soldiers. Why the army? The deployments last at the most fifteen months. But what about the other branches, WITS? Well, the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps have six month deployments, with the Marines having 9 months at most.

With that, I would like to say that I would like to stick to being as correct to the military as possible. Don't worry, not asking you to have military experience. You just need a general idea, I'll set up the more complicated shit.

Also I ask you use this article as a guideline for creating a character.

This one

As far as the genre, I am looking for a comedy, with a little action(of course), some messing around, and all around just try to have fun with it. Don't take the RP extremely seriously. Don't take your character's too seriously. I would love to laugh throughout this RP. Help me out.

Ultimately, I would like it to be focused on how the soldiers go about their daily lives under the stress of a combat deployment, and how they deal with the boredom(gives you a lot of good ideas with comedy, right?).

Oh, and the most important rule. NO POLITICS. No political undertones. No bullshit. We are not making a political statement, just having fun and making a good roleplay.

I am debating on where to put the deployment. It could be in Afghanistan, Africa, The Philippines(That might be a stretch, but there is some potential for action), Guam or Okinawa(not really combat deployments, but a good environment for roleplay development), and possibly the border of South and North Korea(not combat either, but on the edge of war).

I'm cool with civilian characters, if someone wants to make one, but I will probably limit that to one. If you really want to be another service branch, I'll only allow one character from each U.S. Armed Forces Branch other than the Army.

So, who's with me, and where the hell do you want to be?

Interested, like the guideline page.
right now its a toss up between Lifer#2 and living legend.

1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta playable?
I have a USAF "PJ" character, but I'm not sure how well he'd fit in a Army environment..

Well, I'd rather have everyone be normal soldiers. Not really into having everyone be Special Forces.

Would there be a draft? 'Cause I've always made guys who were all "yeah military!", I want a change of pace and make a bitter and sarcastic guy in a situation he does not want to be in.

Drafted and fresh out of basic training on first deployment could be interesting aspect to play.

Dunno about that. It's not really necessary. If you read the article at the top of the page it has an archetype known as the 'Ambivalent Patriot'. He pretty much fits the bill, only being in for the bare minimum of time to get his GI Bill benefits.
