My intention there really, to really project Merlin into that. I didn't actually know that far into it, but I would have thought he'd make good for being a relatively high rank at about that pitch, given his age and experiences (an awful fucking lot), to know what he's doing. Stuff like RSMs are very, very specific and not really relating to what Merlin would be doing, so WOs are a nice area to place him in, if he's a 2IC.

I originally had him as an officer, but actually, for this RP, CWO1/2 is a relatively nice position for him, the more I think about it. He's not officer material (you can't see him going pip-pip, chaps) because he'd way prefer to kick some fucker's head in than sit behind a desk, or keep back. Though he could, I think it can be justified by that. As far as the States go, I only know that it's a specialism, but not that, actually. 

It seems like a combined task force, from the looks of things- lots of countries (NATO, I take it, plus friends) into one task force.
