Hokay, the IC is active with the intro and the brief for the first mission. It's a (seemingly) straight-forward small one to begin with, just to ease us into things - but you know how it is, from small things...

Also, no, it might not be 1000% super-realistic from a military POV or whatever, but this is what we're doing, and what kind of thing you're getting - here's where you jump off if that's not your bag. 

Feel free to intro your characters how you wish; I've begun with Ryan assuming everyone is in the room, and feel free to have your characters there already, or turn up late - though, please don't everyone do that, as it'll be pretty stupid if he's addressing an empty room :P
Also feel free to do much as I did with my post, and introduce what they were doing before, and any NPC's they are friends with, etc. 

There is no post order, btw - any of you who have played anything I've run before will know that I am viciously opposed to post orders. 
Once I have a reply from all the active players, or a week passes - whichever comes first - I'll get another IC post up moving us on, and so on and so on. If you want to do collab posts as well, please go head. However, do make sure that you're talking to other people as well as just each other, and that your collab is at least relevant to the plot and moves things on.

Other than that, eager to get moving!
