Every year I try to attend a wonderful writers’ symposium called Life the Universe and Everything. One panel consisted of people in the military who talked about life in the military and military sf/f. Enjoy my notes.

–          An Army needs three things beings blankets and bullets.

–          90% of an Army is support staff for the fighting soldier.

–          Many armies will have a small core group and the rest will be mercenaries.

–          Modern military missionaries get their jobs through military contractors.

–          Reserves are soldiers used to repair broken holes in a line of soldiers.

–          Soldiers lineup in a long line to avoid being surrounded.

–          I’ll issue for the high ground, so the enemy has to use up their energy to go appeal.

If you would like to add your own suggestions, please feel free to do so in the comment section of this blog.
