I've got night driving training tonight, so I might not be able to get anything up today. I'll try, though.

Posted. It's a bit long and I may have overdone it, but I wanted to get things moving along, and also to release Wendy and Neil, cause otherwise they'd be tethered to whatever I post. ><''

Night driving? Oh, interesting. And I did like that post, it untethers them, at least. I think I do want Neil rolling with something Russian, and I think of all things, throw him an AS VAL, and he could have some fun, no doubt.

I got another Scott Post up, linking me from the last one of King Konrad's to Skyth's post. Hope it's a good one! Had a good idea for a song once we're on the road too, that fits well in my head, either as background music or on the stereo.

<Snipped quote> He looked over at Jan, worried by the fatalism of his words. It was a very Eastern European trait - maybe it had something to do with all the heavy poetry and suicidal novelists; he wasn't sure.
Hahaha, that made me fucking laugh like you wouldn't believe. That was literary fucking genius. :D

Neato. I will say now, my post is to be completed, but can be responded to, everyone. I got carried away listening to Time, so I wrote that speech that Jan gives. In a rainy reststop in Germany, not great, but it will do the job, I feel. Followed by Scorpions, because why not. I've given Scott the chance to talk to Jan, and the snipers/Zhenya/Medved can tag along with whoever. Feel free to talk, have banter, and generally do whatever- I will phase us into Copenhagen maybe two posts down the line on my end.

This was also fucking genius. Sheer brilliance, Andy McNab is overdone.

I've read almost all of Andy McNab's stuff during my four months of basic. Great for getting yourself pumped up for the next day's cycle of BS, but not exactly books I'd read over and over again.

I've read Bravo Two Zero, and then a few of his fiction books as well - the main thing I took away from them is that he can't write characters at all - they're not actually about the same guy... but they're totally about the same guy. The main character has almost all the same character traits and attitudes toward everything, and is generally kind of plain and lifeless. Like you said, they're okay, but not really engaging or memorable. Glad you all liked the little bits of humour I put in there - Scott's personality coming through. It's kind of based on ex-squaddies I've met and known. All of them seem to have pretty good senses of humour about even the most grim of things, so that's kind of worked into Scott as well.

Right, might edit my post at some point, to make it more respond-able to. Sorry folks, I was just on an island off the coast of Britain, no internet and the like.

Edited lightly, on Neil's end. I couldn't think of a lot to say, that Queen/Skyth already have. Scott's at the wheel, and I've let the Lima team kinda roll in one vehicle, and generally talk if need be. I'll let that kick off- our characters can talk about anything and everything, beyond what Jan/Scott were chatting about. Loose ends, and general background beyond what we know- it's a nice sort of roundoff, for our characters on top. The essays have probably stopped for the while, but feel free to write as much as you want.

I thought I'd give someone else a chance to post first, since Scott's been the first to answer the last few times.

Had a nasty surprise today in the form of night driving in a 50 year old land rover, something that looked as if the Brits left behind when they left in the 60s. ._. Will post tomorrow, but will be late. Have to pass some height and lashing thing so I can legally drive a truck.

These Defenders that the team have are probably the last of the bunch- they stop making them this year :( It's a part of the British countryside, like pickup trucks to Rednecks. Also, Height is a factor in driving a lorry? Eh? Post when you feel lads (and lass, in Queen's case), just when you can really- no need for an essay, but just do as much as you feel to really get a conversation going. Don't be scared. Ask what questions you want. Change the radio station, even though Scorpions to me fitted well (Germany, and so on). Whatever makes sense, really.

Yeah, height limit for all vehicles here is 4 meters, so we gotta know how to estimate the height of our vehicle plus load. Lashing is just about tying down loads. Also, I don't even think our land rovers are Defenders. They feel older. Can't wait till I get to drive the new rovers, which thankfully are automatic. Anyway, post will be up tonight.
