I'm just going to throw something out there. I know I haven't been around in awhile; but back when I was working on the specialties I had in mind that the stories shouldn't necessarily be episodic blurbs about the training itself. Yes, they're designed to demonstrate that your character does, in fact, know their MOS; however that doesn't mean that the story has to be specifically about that so much as the characters experiences through that part of training, that the whole training of the MOS could be taken as a single unit, the stories themselves making up chapters, so to speak, in the characters development. Not to say that it can't be split up in any combination of episodic posts and coherent story(ies). Or something like that.

That's a good point Snipes and I will outirght admit that I sort of follow that train of thought. I make my stories more than 2 pages long in Word so they're lengthier than the "requirement" which was 2 pages last i checked, I try to make the story a good read, an adventure sort of. Make it interesting for teh reader while keeping the overall expectations that each story has in mind and so I work both those elemnts into one adventure-that-completes-the-task-tye thing.

Going a bit off of what everyone has said before, I think the idea of more specs would be great especially since the real army has hundreds of possible paths for its soldiers.

Another thing, from what Hassar had said, instead of making it the lonesome person writing endlessly by themselves, we could do the group thing or something where its an officer and the trooper working on the spec. Basically the trooper would start off and then the officer would step in and point the way. The trooper would take over from there and all done. Then move on to the next story.

I really like the idea of making specs group stories or even with an officer but thinking from the other perspective, the "officers" are busy themselves, and if they can't post on your spec because other things take priority, then well, you will have to just wait until they are ready. Same thing goes with the group, what if one person in your group posts once. Do they pass along with everyone once the story ends?
