[quote=@AtomicNut] I said -outside the Strongholds- GRAM does have factories. I only said outside the sphere of influence of Australia and New Zealand. You are assumed to get basic guns as you're soldiers. Also the application is denied. It needs some working at its core concept. Unless your character is a magic user, it won't be drafted at six years old of age. They will be given education and social support instead. I don't know what Arcop is, and unless that is an acronym of a unit, or a place near Australia, it will need heavy editing. The jeep is fine though. [/quote] He wasn't fully drafted, I was thinking something like a barrel monkey or orphan labour, just like a kid helping around the base in exchange for food and shelter. Growing up around soldiers helping stock equipment and clean floors before going into full training when he was old enough probably just straight outta camp when the mission starts. I guess like the Cadets but in wastelandworld. Is that too dumb? Arcop was just a random stronghold name since I don't know what strongholds there are, are there any notable ones I can use in my backstory? I could just put he grew up basically raised by and idealizing soldiers. Probably add in a piece about volunteering in the kitchen or storage and alwayd being happy to hear their stories before fully singing up.
