Hi
But what is the stylistic expectation from this? Is it like dead serious war drama or something hard boiled or something else with a twist (Spec Ops: The line for reference)?
That is completely up to you. It’s your chapter, your voice.

Waaaaay too many acronyms for my small brain to handle. Sheesh!
Not to mention SNAFU and FUBAR.
I see violence and lots of bad language in my future…

This is the military! It ain’t MFBAR if it isn’t ROP in the XC, but only after PPOT!
So piggy, this one hits a bit close to home with the male spawn and all. Luckily I have shrimp to catch and dolphins to avoid. I shall send the liquid brain lube into the system.
What’s the target length again? 8 words?

Hugs to you and the male spawn.
That 8 word target is what I’m hoping for too. 
I’m also considering chickening out.
And I’m totally with Camy on this…
LOL
Yeah but how many of them do you actually have to use?

I have no idea what any of that means… dialogue from a Dehmar porno?

Well, the questions have died down, and it looks like the packs are getting through with no issues, so I’m going to go get a few hours sleep.
If you have any urgent blocking questions, by all means help each other out here!

That one is a favorite. 
And SNAFU.
Happy sleeping. This will be your only chance. You’ll be so busy tomorrow night compiling this brilliantly written work of literary art.
352 words of vague crap is close to 1500 words of quality writing, right?
I’m planning to describe everyone in the style of a romance novel, the action like that of a farcical satire, and the landscape like a travel guide. I’m sure that’s what everyone else got from their brief, right?
I’m glad for Scrivener letting me split all this up, because never before have I had so much “technical” detail to read through and reference.

Ok, so it says that Toolan has retired suddenly…
Do we know why and what caused this?
Yep. I’m going with Apocalypse Now meets Inglorious Basterds.

According to his profile he’s left to go into private security. I don’t blame him.
