Two questions. The first is a military one - Dave,
bub, I'm looking at you. ;)
How much time in service would a grunt have to serve
in a) the Marines in general, and/or b) Marine Force
Recon in particular in order to earn the various
sergeant ranks?
Okay, science guys, your turn.
The myomer/myomar technology of BattleTech fame - does
this stuff have a grounding in real tech, or is it
just theory? If it's just theory, is it considered
workable theory at some point in the future, or is it
just pie-in-the-sky stuff? Or for that matter, is it
simply an invention of science fiction?
If it IS real and/or realistic, are the descriptions
of how it works in BattleTech at all accurate (or if
you don't know BattleTech, could you just give me a
quick rundown on how it works)?
Thanks, guys.
