The Vigilance

Here's my app. If you have any suggestions for improvements, please tell me, because I'm not too familiar with military-oriented things.

Enlistment Form
Full Name: Anthony "Tony" Carter

Gender: Male

Age: 24

Branch of Service: FSA "Landers"

Rank: (E-4) Cpl Corporal

Military Occupational Specialty: Fire Team Leader

Appearance

Appearance

Personality:
Tony is a carefree, optimistic individual. No matter what the situation may be, he will always remain convinced that everything will be alright, and is therefore considered a bit foolish among younger, less experienced personnel. Carrying a strong sense of justice, he only ever does what he believes is right, and frequently finds himself clashing with superior officers because of this. He is a good leader, but his carefree demeanour and justice-fuelled decisions often see his underlings questioning him. However, it seems that he was born with the natural ability to overcome any situation, and his feats on the field have been noted by his superiors.

Biography:
Tony has always wanted to enlist in the army. From a very young age, he'd taken immense interest in the tales of courage and heroism that surrounded the Landermarines, finding within himself a strong urge to enlist. So, at the age of eighteen, Tony said goodbye to his loving, middle-class family, and hello to the Marines, with plenty of potential and perhaps too free a spirit. During basic training, he found himself clashing with his trainers, disagreeing with their mean-spirited treatment of trainees. While this almost never worked out for the better (he was almost dismissed for insubordination), some trainers admired his ability to lead others against an opposing force, and Tony soon found himself deployed against insurgents. He quickly made a name for himself among his fellow soldiers for being able to seemingly make it through any situation, no matter how tough it may seem, and slowly he ranked up to Corporal.

Over the years he's served, Tony has been deployed in many combat zones, seeing his fair share of death, destruction and triumph. While all the death has scarred him, he continues to wholeheartedly serve the FSA, doing what he believes is right and beneficial for his team.

Posted... Three times. Sorry 'bout that...

But everyone, come to the pad! let's have Titanpad party! There's cake, there's music, there's karaoke, and a giant disco ball that'd make Jupiter look like an ant!

Young Justice 2021

As the media closed in around the team of young heroes, Hellfire flew up and away from the group in pursuit of Fenrir. The wolfman was headed downtown, most probably towards Adam's and ONeil Accounting, the census station which they had both suspected to be a facade for Granny's operations. If Gabe was right, then he could not let his brother go in alone.

Hellfire silently crept into the building minutes after Fenrir barged in. In those few minutes, anything could have happened. Fenrir could have acquired some information, he could have been captured, stabbed, blown up, knocked out, attacked by--

Ninjas. About twelve of them, maybe more, charging at Fenrir as he lunged at them, howling. They were undoubtedly of the League of Shadows. Batman taught Gabe enough about the organisation for the teen to recognise their garb. He furrowed his brow. What were they doing here? Why would they be working with Granny? Worry soon overtook Hellfire. Fenrir was outnumbered and quite possibly outmatched. He had to intervene.

Ducking into the shadows, the human sun snuck up behind a ninja, constricting his carotid arteries with a rear naked choke before easing the now unconscious assassin to the ground. Realising that stealth won't do him any good against over a dozen alert enemies, let alone highly trained ninjas, Hellfire unleashed a tendril of black fire, as dark as the shadows, hot enough to severely burn, but cold enough to be non-lethal.

The flame blocked the assassins' path to Fenrir, which was Hellfire's aim, but he didn't think of the consequence; the ninjas now turned their attention to him, and a group of them advanced towards him.

"Holy ninjas, Batman..." muttered Hellfire, before calling out to Fenrir. "You probably smelled me when I arrived, Fen, but it's Hell! Could you maybe come 'round here and help me kick some League of Shadows tushy?"

A sword slashed at his head and he ducked instinctively, lashing out with a quick, hard punch to the stomach, followed by an uppercut to his assailant's chin. However, the ninja caught Hell's fist, his hold firm and unmoving. Enveloping his caught fist with flame, Gabe seared his attacker's hand, allowing his fist to redirect its course towards the ninja's nose, hitting his absolute hardest. This sent the ninja sprawling into the hallway, and summoned two to take his place. These two, Ninja #1 and Ninja #2, respectively, both held rope darts, and they moved in to strike Hellfire from both sides. Ninja #1 sent his rope dart at Gabe's face, the weapon moving incredibly fast. But Gabe's reflexes were faster, and he caught the dart inches from his face, pulling #1 off balance. However, a blade in his side revealed #1's attack to be a distraction. How it pierced his armour, he didn't know, but he didn't have time to dwell on it; lightheadedness overcame him and he doubled over, vomiting, emptying out all his stomach's contents.

There was poison on the ninjas' weapons. And Gabe was now weakened.

The two ninjas moved in for the kill.

Well, Field Officer wouldn't be right at all. Because a Corporal isn't a commissioned officer. As far as I recall, a Corporal isn't even an NCO

True, true. I do know that Corporals lead fire teams though. So would the term foot soldier be more correct? I'm sorry, as I'm not very familiar with military terms and ranks.

Hey guys, just a quick question before I finish my app. What occupational specialty would a Corporal have in the Landers? At the moment my character's a field officer and fire team leader. Would those positions be right?

May I join this?
A CS should be up within a day or two.

Hey guys, I'm back, and absolutely knackered.

Downtime sounds good, KL. I reckon I'm going to have Hellfire go after Fenrir, instead of him going to Batman. I hope everyone's doing good :)

Camp Duskend

Alright, I'm off to camp (hopefully no murderers on this one). If this starts up during the six days I'm gone, and I happen to be accepted, then just know that I'm hiking up the side of a mountain, not ignoring this thread. Have fun guys!

Bye for now,
GG

PS:
Mizuho, I hope you're doing alright at school. Don't let the work drag you down :).
