Subject: We Won't Promise You a "Rose Garden..."

Marine Sanders
Major 1st Division U.S.M.C.

You cannot exaggerate about the Marines. They are convinced to the point of arrogance, that they are the most ferocious fighters on earth- and the amusing thing about it is that they are.

The 1st Division U.S.M.C. is currently recruiting. We are looking for skilled and mature players. As some might expect there is training. This must seem a bit juvenile to some. Right well, let me clear up some misconceptions first. We aren't going to make you jump through flaming hoops and you won't be yelled at by ten year old squeakers. We pride ourselves on maturity and professionalism. What WILL happen during your time at Paris Island is a remarkable improvement in your gaming skill, your attitude towards certain things, and your ability to be an effective force on the battlefield. This, is a promise.

Do not however think that it will be easy. We expect excellence and professionalism from everyone. I for one will not promise you a "rose garden." What I will promise is a great clan experience, new friends, and an improvement in your gaming skill.

If you are interested, please, visit our site. Once there, browse through the information and see if this clan is right for you. If it seems like a good fit for you, please submit an Enlistment form.

If you have any additional questions, Private message me or post them here.

1st Division U.S.M.C. "No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy."

My people were the chosen ones...we enforced the will of our prophets, the holy seers who lead our Covenant of believers along the path to the Great journey. From the day I could stand, I was trained to fight. I was watched by the prophets as I fought, and learned. Not all were strong enough to serve our prophets...But I was.

Can we please leave the Marine Corps out of this game? They've earned the respect, they don't need a bunch of kids running around calling themselves Marines.

It's just a name Exsa. Should I criticize you for your "Ghost Snipers", Since real-life snipers "earned the respect".

And should I criticize you for being an ODST, since real life special operations solders 'earned the respect'?

The USMC is real.

The 'Ghost Snipers' aren't.

Neither are Sangheili.

At the very least you could put "United Nations Space Command Marine Corps", or UNSCMC for short.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

I don't see why anybody gives a -blam!- about the name, I also love how you refer to the clan as kids, maybe because they are UNSC, maybe because they are not sangheili etc, either way you are being stupid by calling them kids without even knowing -blam!- and for all you know the OP could be older than you.
