Hello!
I'm based in Australia and an aspiring novelist with absolutely no military background. I realize this is a serious site, so the plan is to lurk and capture inspiration or clarification into the life of a Recon Marine. I'm trying to build a backstory for a couple of my characters and this place looks to have a wealth of knowledge and activity.
I have interacted with personnel from the Navy and the Marine Corp in my research. I've always been struck by the generosity, consideration and strength of character of these individuals. However, the Recon Marine perspective remains elusive and requires more work. I don't mean I want to know about anything relating to what I read in another thread would be OPSEC or PERSEC. My objective is to write a believable fantasy mission that goes unexpectedly wrong. I certainly welcome any volunteers who don't mind sharing their wisdom or offer their services as future beta readers. But this isn't my purpose of being here. I'm just wanting to find a place to hang out and absorb the community culture, so that it might help me channel an elite Marine a bit better.
Hopefully I'm in the right place...
