Simus, Jen loses some of her tough-girl cred when you misspell Bin Laden. So... hah!

Lol, ok, Simus, you have just been awarded the best funny post.
"2nd Lt. Jennifer Scott. Marines, 4th Armored Infantry. I've been thinking about transferring to the rangers actually. I've seen Black Hawk Down and played Modern Warfare 2 on Veteran so I'd say I'm more than qualified."
I am actually spewed my water from my bottle that I was drinking in real life when I read that, haha!

I honestly didn't think it made sense. I mean, sure, the Rangers don't have the most rigorous training of all branches of the army. But they still have to endure a nine week boot camp plus an Advanced training boot camp just to become qualified to take a 4 week course to become a Ranger.
I know Jen was just trying to be a bit mean, but I guess having a basic understanding of how things like that work made me less likely to find humor rather than simple disrespect in it.

You've got to beat in mind that Jen doesn't like people and is scared of all this. She's trying to push Ben and Jake's buttons to make herself feel better. And from what I know Tom the Military Channel the 75th Rangers have a very tough training regimen because they have to be trained in a very short time table. A few weeks versus a couple of years for Delta Force or the Green Berets. I think the SEALs are the same way. Squeeze you through 9 weeks of assbreaking training to earn the right to begin more specialized training.

Also, I am not suggesting that we all immediately band together and abandon all our old ties. We're probably not going to be the best, most co-operative team if we were just randomly thrown together. However, that is something along the lines of what Ben would want (abandoning petty differences in order to help others) so that is why I typed it. It's fine (and encouraged, for the sake of RP), to take to his remarks however your character would.

Right, apologies for not having posted yet. I've got lectures tomorrow until 1pm, then I've got to take a walk into town to see about getting a job at a shop there, then I might have some coursework to do, and then I'll post

Its not that I am laughing at how bad the Rangers are or anything. They are an amazing group of Soldiers. I laughed because what Simus said is literally spot on what a Marine would say to an Army person. That's just how they are

Damn, Iv'e missed alerts. Going to check now.

Hello there I hope you still have a place left, if there are any problems please tell me and I'll deal with them.
Name: Dipprasad Dharmadhoj, but for those who can't say his name he just lets them call him Nathan Black, a weird name I know but he choose it and he likes it.
Nickname: Capt.
Age: 31.
Gender: Male.
Ethnicity: British Commonwealth.
Squad Role: Support, well technically he's more shoot, stab and blow up everything that hostile.
Equipment: 1 Flashbang Grenade, Smoke Grenades, 1 or 2 Frag Grenades if it's allowed, two Glock 19 pistols, a FAL SA58 OSW Rifle and the Traditional Kurki. Stranded body armor and a Terai slouch hat that he wears all the time even into battle except when he is relaxing like a game of Snooker or a workout.
Personality: Probably one of the nicest guys to have served in the military I don't think there's anyone that smiles as much as this guy, in battle he is a deadly force to reckoned with, He's a quick thinker using everything as a weapon until he only has his kukri left to fight with. Because the Heroin withdrawal he's restless and from time to time his hands start shaking, he tries to hide it but it's not easy.
Dipprasad cares about his comrades and friends so much he could run into battle and take out several hostiles with just 2 kurkis. He despises any cowardly, disobedient man as well as back stabbers who he really hates and will probably shoot them on sight.
Backstory: Lance naik/Lance Corporal Dipprasad Dharmadhoj, former soldier in the 1st Battalion of the 7th Gurkha Rifles serving as part of the British Army in the War in Afghanistan. He comes from a long line of Gurkha soldiers serving in the British Army, dating from an ancestor who first fought under contract with the East India Company in the Pindaree War of 1817. His grandfather fought in North Africa against the Nazis with considerable distinction, and Dipprasad has also sought to be just as honorable a soldier as he was. His father spent most of his life serving in the 26th Gurkha Brigade stationed in Hong Kong, where Dipprasad spent his childhood until his family moved to the United Kingdom following handover in 1997.
His career in the military took a sudden turn in the mountains of Tora Bora in 2011, when a firefight broke out with Taliban soldiers during the battle, Dipprasad witnessed things that would haunt him forever, he suffered from tremendous mental shock watching a line of Taliban machine guns cut through dozens of good British men. Despite this, he fought bravely and well, He was honorably discharged.
In the time that followed, he felt he had lost his mission in life. A taste of opium acquired in Afghanistan threatened to blossom into a full heroin addiction, but when Dipprasad was at his lowest point he received a call from a guy named Bradford offering Dipprasad a job as a soldier for the XCOM program, Dipprasad was conflicted to say the least he knew that they dealt in extraterrestrial and that sounded weird enough but he gave it a go and he was wrong.

I can see you've just edited your post prior to replying. I cant see anything left thats important, Aside from a few Punctuation errors (Capital letters mostly).
There are a few things missing, however. Choice of weaponry being the most notable. Also, try expanding on the personality section. Y'know, likes/dislikes, fears e.t.c.
Otherwise 'Nathan Black' seems like a solid character.

Is there any particular reason as to why people call him Nathan Black? I mean, without any explanation, its a hell of a jump, from Dipprasad Dharmadhoj to Nathan Black.
