If you have already completed 4 of the prerequiste specs, do the three Prestige spec stories as the old system dictated.

If you have completed three of the prerequisite specs, write the first intermediate step-story, then finish your last prereq and then do the last two Prestige spec stories.

If you have completed two of the prereq specs, you're good.

On Getting Started, Prestige and Focus Spec time tables it says 'Total Active Weeks'. Does that mean once we nab the first Prestige Spec we no longer have to worry about time for future Prestige (and, by extension, Focus)?

I do understand that the individual specs will require their own amount of time, but I ask just in regards to P# and F# specs.

Second question:

"as all Focus Specialties are two 2000 word posts, these must be posted at intermediate steps as well. " -Getting Started

"One 4000 word story on a live-fire...." -F4 Future Warrior

Which one is it?

Third question/suggestion:

This one's not from me, but rather from Psycho.

He asked that wouldn't 3.1/3.2 fit better under the definition of P3 Shocktrooper rather than P1 Special Forces?

Correct. It is assumed that your writing will not regress with time, but continue to improve. The first time checkpoint is to prevent developing writers from prematurely putting up something that will assuredly not pass.

I have corrected Future Warrior (good eyes).

The idea of a Shocktrooper is not subtle: get into the enemy's face, and blast a hole in him. Special forces are usually less in number, so they need a greater firepower to deal with the situation: outnumbered and behind enemy lines.

Please read this before you post a specialty. I will count how many story posts you've made between specialty posts. If you do not have a sufficient number, I will not grade your specialty until you do.

If you have questions, either ask them here or PM them to me. If the question has already been answered, I reserve the right to give you a snarky answer.

Sir, if it's not too much trouble, could you take another look at my [1.2] spec. story? Ive revised it, and i'm active again (though the rest of the Army seems to be dead...).
