Medal of Honor

The United States of America controls the indisputably most elite fighting forces the world has ever seen. Recruits must endure weeks of grueling training, learning how to fight. In the end, even if they survive boot camp and don't quit, many are still not accepted. These soldiers give their time, their bodies, their families, and sometimes even their lives to serve the rest of us. They are some of the most honorable men and women ever made. Because to become part of them, no matter the service, you cannot be born perfect. You will be made into something better.

The soldiers are equaled by their civilian leaders in the government. Those who serve in public office often have the burden of deciding how to use their superior military. They know the secrets uncovered on terrorist plots and the like that only a handful of people are ever permitted to know, and they have the lives of innumerable soldiers resting on their shoulders. One wrong decision, and they could end a brave soldier's career or life.

There is no doubt that to be a part of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, or a government leader is a responsibility that many people could not handle. Can you?

You:

After raiding Osama bin Laden's house, a huge collection of future terror plot plans has been uncovered. Your commanding or intelligence officer (depending on your profession) informs you that as SEAL Team 6 arrived, to hide it from the soldiers, bin Laden attempted to burn a file. The SEALs stamped out the flames and recovered the remains of the charred file.

As it was analyzed later, it was discovered that the file contained all of the details of a terror plot that could cripple the power grid and send America into the Middle Ages, and giving it no chance to ever recover. But too much of the file was destroyed, and all you know is that the attack will begin in one week, originating in Austin, Texas, and Los Angeles, California. You are being deployed to one of the following locations, and you have one week to figure out what's going on and save your homeland.

Note:

You really don't have to be a military/political expert. If there's something you don't understand, ask in the group PM. (I will send out a PM including all members of the RP so we can discuss everything). Or just Google it.

Character Sheet:
I'd like to have (but don't limit yourself to my list--do whatever you would have the most fun with.)

-One player as President and one as Vice President (NOT Obama and Biden. Create your own characters.)
-One player from each service. (Again, you can do whatever you want. This is just a goal. If someone else is already in the Marines but you want to be in them too, don't hesitate to join.)

Rules:
1) I will not accept anyone who cannot spell properly. It's okay to have a few typos because we all make mistakes, but if there's a typo every other word, I won't accept you.
2) Behave! This may be an RP heavily involving war (but NOTHING over-the-top bloody. We want to keep this between PG and PG-13 because this is a kid's site, guys.) but we can still be nice to each other. (:
3) No godmodding. You are not immortal.
4) If you're going to die, make it spectacular. Also, please let me know first. (:
5) Language is allowed since this is a war-time setting, but don't go nuts.
6) You can create up to 2 characters.
7) Let's have some posts that are thought-out. Not "HE SHOT HIM AND WE WON AND BOOM YAY!" A paragraph at least, preferably more.

If I forgot anything or you'd like to propose any sort of changes, let me know!

Sweet! A serious rp! There aren't enough of these...

Accepted

But you said something about MOS' so I googled that and found that was the abbreviation for Reconnaissance Man

But you said something about MOS' so I googled that and found that was the abbreviation for Reconnaissance Man

 

an MOS is the numbered tag. For instance,

Administration and Personnel is 01

Intelligence is 02

Infantry is 03

and so on

What you copy & pasted was probably the ranks for that particular MOS

I believe 0321 is Recon

almost positive, I'm doing that off the top of my head

Oh! Your completely right, sorry about that.

This seems very interesting, if only for the unique setting for an RP. I'd definitely love to be a part of this. I hope I' not stealing anyone's thunder by applying to be president.

 

Name:Markus Effein

Age: 41

Amount of time in office (president and VP must have the same amount): 3 years

Political Party: Democratic Party

Physical Description: He's a fairly thin Caucasian man. His dark brown hair often confused for black, but now there are streaks of grey coming as well. He has green eyes which seem to contrast with his hair, and his face is in no way gaunt, but maintains a thin look to it. His pace is quick, and sitting down he find himself having nervous ticks.

Bio: Markus never much liked politics. He liked changing the world. And he was good with people, so he decided to get involved in the government of the small Oregon town in which he lived. He thrived there, and people loved him. Skip several years later and he decided that he wanted to be governor. His methodical thinking impressed peers and his way of speaking was down to earth; he really did care about what he was doing, and it showed. People loved that about him. He wanted to go out and do things. And so he became governor, and set about reforms. Things were going well, even if there were some issues happening in the country at the time.He tried to stay out of the debates, he didn't like sticking his nose where it didn't belong, so he stayed in his state, doing everything he could. One day several men he saw on a daily basis told him something that got him thinking; that he should run in the next election. It took weeks of talking it over with his family and friends, and thinking about it far more. Then he did it. He spoke to people as he toured the country and he felt a new sense of obligation. His popularity grew and then after a long battle, he won. It all seemed so sudden. Becoming President taught him very, very soon just how complicated politics could be. The biggest learning curve was finding out how much he needed to use the armed forces at his disposal. He couldn't stand the thought of people being scared of those who might harm them, in their own country even. So, with the help of advisers, and his trusted vice president, one of the most active in a long time, he set about trying to use the armed forces to combat terrorism and other threats. He was politically adept, but fearless when it came to using his strength. He only wanted to use the military when needed, but if needed, he applied them with force. The reception was sometimes spotty to his decisions, but he did what he thought was right. And America was safe because of it, or so he believed. Then they found the file. He only recently heard about it, but it changed everything. Any time of coasting on a good status quo was about to be replaced with what was sure to be an array of hard choices. Markus was smart, and sensible, but even this may take everything he has to get though unscathed, and even that may be impossible. He can only hope that the soldiers entrusted with his orders can carry them out expertly. If not, everything could change.

uh, even if you joined at 18, it'd be impossible to get to SFC in seven years

if you did everything perfect you'd be there in 8 years, and the fastest I think there's ever been has done it in 10.

It depends on your MOS though

specifically what do you do in infantry? It's a broad category

also, add a little more description to your bio.

after you fix that, you'll be accepted. (:

I'm sorry for double posting please don't kill me

 

Sign-ups are officially closed. Here's my character:

 

Name: Emma Banks

 

Age (18-30): 22

 

Rank (you need to be fairly young to be fit enough, so don't go I'M MASTER SERGEANT OF THE MARINE CORPS or something): Sergeant in the Marine Corps

 

Physical Description: Emma has no problem with her desert-print digiflauge uniform. The only adjustments she's made have been to paste photos of her family into the top of her helmet, so when she looks up she can see what she's trying to protect. When's Emma's not decked out in standard issue fatigues, she'll adjust to match the locals. Usually this means she gets to dress up in a flowy, modest black and white dress and an oversized pair of polarized black sunglasses. Her eyes have been compared to the color of emeralds. Otherwise, Emma is fairly average, with proportionate features and maintaining a figure that is neither too slim or too large. Around her neck are her engraved dogtags, but also a beaded red, brown, blue, yellow, and white necklace crafted by her baby sister before Emma's first deployment.

 

Bio: Emma grew up constantly moving. Both of her parents were military police, so she had to pack up her things and start everything over again at a new base. As a result, she was exposed to the military since birth, and naturally became a bit of an expert on it. Emma hit high school, and many of her peers thought her love of the military as laughable. Soon, though, they realized that Emma would make more of herself than they ever would. She wished for a long time that she could see their faces when she came back for the tenth or twentieth reunion and was a highly decorated Marine. Using her high school pain as fuel to do better, she signed her enlistment contract and was shipped off to Parris Island when she was eighteen. Nobody in their right mind would find Parris Island easy, but while she struggled, Emma felt prepared. She'd trained on these obstacle courses, rapelling wall, pools, and guns since she was a mere child. She'd never been prouder in her life than when she was awarded the honor of wearing the eagle, globe, and anchor. Emma went to specialty school for her infantry training (ooc: yes, I know legally women are not allowed to do infantry YET, but for the purposes of this RP and considering one day they will, we're going to assume for now that they can.) and was shipped off to Iraq. Her younger sister Melody hadn't shared Emma's love of the Marines, but instead grew fond of Native American culture. Melody was nine when Emma got the word she was being deployed to Iraq. She made her sister a special Native American protection necklace, haphazardly constructed from left over bits of differently colored twine and hand-painted clay beads. Emma happily accepted it and has worn it throughout all five of her deployments--four to Iraq, one to Afghanistan. In a routine briefing before a mission right after Emma's alloted vacation time, she is informed of the terrorist plot that was half-uncovered. Along with one other Marine unit, Emma isn't being sent to the middle east again--she's staying on the homefront, for a mission more dangerous than she had ever imagined.
