Crewman Bourne's Log, day Two:

Welp, been busy since dustoff so I haven't had much of a chance to do anything besides get stuff rammed into my head. Did you know that Krogan aren't as indestructible as they seem? And that yes, one of the easiest ways of taking them down is with an omni-blade? I know, I was surprised to say the least when I found out. Add that to the Drills on escaping or dealing with biotics, and a hundred tricks to beating just about any enemy, most of which can boil down to being really fast, excellent reaction time, and reflexes that mean you don't even think about something before you're blade is stuck in them.

I should mention, that I am going into close-combat as a specialty, and that most of my training will be geared toward making me one of the best damn CC experts I can be. Supposedly, with the enhancements that we are getting, (A cocktail of drugs, and bio-organic modifications hidden under our skin and protected from scanners by some techno-babbel that I still don't fully understand.) I should be able to deal with just about any threat.

I learned after I signed up, that Augmented, which is what we are called, get put into cryo after their training is up, and being officially designated as MIA, presumed KIA. Part of the reason is because of Citadel space laws, but the other part is that just in case Humanity ever needs us, we will be there, ready and waiting. A good thing, just in case some bugs manage to make it to Earth and all that is left of defense is whats on the ground. Anyway, I need to log off again, surprise inspection in twenty. (Pays to have a precog as a bunk-mate.)

Crewman Bourne's Log, day one:

Well. Today is the day. Just got signed up for the Alliance Aerospace Corp, with hopes to get into the SpecOps branch. Recruiter told me it was the best options with my grades and scoring,lets hope he wasn't joshing me. Shipping out next week, on Monday I think. Two weeks in cryo, seventeen weeks of Boot, then another two months in Aerospace Recon school, where I get to learn to drop-pod in behind enemy lines, fly enemy hard-ware, and even get to design and build my own AI. Should be fun. After that, well, hopefully another six months in SpecOps schooling, where I learn the rest of the tools of the trade. Though from what I hear, its less of a SpecOps branch, and more of a diplomacy branch. Though of course I hear different from others. The Asvab testing went well, and that was the last thing they were waiting on. Cannot wait to get shipped off to Epsilon Eridani (The closest Marine base in sector.) That will be my first time leaving system since we had to go to a family funeral on Earth.


Looks like I need to be logging off the Extra-net. Some of the guys want to celebrate my getting in down at one of the bars. Ill log back on tomorrow and tell you guys how it went.
