Hello Space Cadet, today I wanted to muse about some parts of my time in the Big Green Weenie. It inspired this post, as I tackle the role that cadences and martial music in the development of military culture and Continue reading

Hey Space Cadets, how’s everyone doing on this fine Marine Monday? For my weekly plug – check out my Sleeping Legion Series if you haven’t already read the books. I had

So on to our bio from our friendly neighborhood LegionLeak source, this week we have the official bio of Magentizer. Remember, destroy this message after reading it so the anonymous source can live long enough to continually feed us excellent intelligence! Without further ado, here is the leaked document!

Hey Space Cadets, how’s everyone doing today? Things are getting better here – my wife is getting better, she can even drive in the mornings now! Other than that, I am working hard writing the next book in the series.

Marine Monday: Spartika
Standard
Hey Space Cadets, how are you this fine Monday? I’m doing better, slowly getting my word counts back to where they were before I took a month off to take care of my wife after her car accident. Thank you to every one of you kind souls who asked after her health, I’m pleased to say the physical therapy is working and she is doing better. She still has some residuals from the concussion, but the doctors are happy with how she is progressing. Our parents and I joined in to insist that she take the summer off of college, so hopefully we can ensure a full recovery. Now that things are back on track, I’ll be setting my target goal for when book four and five will be done. I’ve charted out my path going forward, and I know where the series will end which is huge for me! I can’t wait to share that with you, bringing you along for the ride.
Now, what comes next for me? Well, I’ve planned a series I’ll be writing after I finish the Sleeping Legion Series, and a contract for it has been signed with a small press. I can’t tell you any more right now, but there will continue to be more shenanigans escaping my piehole and infesting your brain buckets!
Okay, so on to our regularly scheduled Marine Monday! Today I was leaked, by our friendly neighborhood LegionLeak source, the official bio of Marine Spartika. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because she once strode the pages of the main Human Legion Series. It’s been hard for her, she’s loved and lost and been enslaved. Her friends have died in front of her, and she survived torture, but through charisma and the sheer force of her will she endures and overcomes. If you’re intrigued, then on to the important parts!

Hopefully you enjoyed this sneak peek into our favorite Marines official record. If you did, stay tuned for next week as we anxiously wait for the latest documents smuggled our way!

Marine Monday: Standard File Formation
Standard
Hey Space Cadets, how are you today? I’m great, though my wife is still recovering from her accident last week. Some fool texting and driving rear ended her, and now we have the joys of dealing with insurance. But she’s on the mend, and soon we will have a release date for Operation Breakout, which I’m excited to be able to share with you! In fact, soon there will be a need for ARC readers, who will receive early access to the novel in exchange for an honest review on Amazon and/or GoodReads.
Now, onto today’s topic! Today’s Marine Monday is a continuation of previous discussions about combat tactics in an interstellar universe. If you missed it, read about the previous formations here and here. You really missed out, I’m not trying to make you feel guilty, but if you do…maybe that’s the universe telling you to check in on my blog more regularly!
So, the tactics of void combat! Such tactics require fighting men and women to consider things in this spherical manner instead of on a plane. However, some of terrestrial tactics will transfer and this is one example. This doesn’t change the fact that it’s not just what is above you and around you, now it’s what’s below you and around you as well. This obviously means that future warriors will have to be even more alert than their modern counterparts. Further, the cost for making mistakes escalates when you are discussing combat in the vacuum of space or on inhospitable planets. The universe is a harsh and unforgiving place where only the strong survive, which necessitates the adaptation of old tactics or the creation of new and constantly evolving ones for the battlefield. What works today, might not work tomorrow, or at least not in the same way.
How do we know all of this? Today we have another excerpt from one of the manuals purloined by our LegionLeaks hero! Take a peak, before they come for us and it disappears forever!
One of the afore mentioned tactics is the Standard File Formation. Interested in knowing more? Read the excerpt from their manual, and give it a quick look over!
Hopefully this will whet your appetite for me, and if so you should pop on back next week where we look at another combat formation!
Until next time, stay frosty and don’t forget to keep your powder dry!
