The Great DOD experiement

So, what do you get when you cross a Green Beret and a U.S. Marine?

"The Great Department of Defense Experiment".

Long ago in a galaxy far, far away, a U.S. Marine met a really handsome Army Dog who was a Green Beret that served in the first Gulf War. The guy was smart as well as good looking, and they soon paired up for life - pledging their undying love in front of God and everyone else who would venture out on a cold winter night to see it happen.....

We can definitely say it has been an Adventure! ["Its not just a job, its an Adventure!"]

So, what is the result of this bizarre union of members of adversarial elite branches of the United States Military, you may ask? Nothing less than the greatest DOD experiment of all times - The search for the perfect Super Soldier! [or, at least, that is the on-going joke at our house!]

Subject #1 - This model is a success in that she is very intelligent, very creative & resourceful [improvise, adapt, and overcome], and she's strong with lots of stamina - a fast runner too. She may be a flawed model for a Soldier though, because she's possibly too empathetic and compassionate. She might make a great hostage negotiator though. [A skill she's already honing at home].

The jury is out on Subject #2. He definitely shows an affinity for all things military and weapon related. He is strong and FULL of energy. This subject shows unusual ability in both building and demolition. He is highly intelligent, but seemingly deficient in "common sense" [but this may be related to his Y chromosome, we aren't sure yet].

Subject #3 may be the most successful model yet when it comes to super soldiering. She's very petite - tiny even. Yet, she can lift more than her own body weight - she's strong as an ox. She is very intelligent and an insanely hard worker with a positive attitude. Her cuteness is deceptive - she can go from charming and sweet to lethal force in a matter of seconds. All the better to take them by surprise!

Subject #4 may eventually outstrip #3 in the super soldier experiment. She also can be disarmingly cute and charming, but brute force is always lurking just under the surface. She is strong and clever, and has an amazing amount of determination [some might call it obstinence even!]. She has a strong sense of what is hers and is ever willing to fight to the death for it.

Subject #5 is still an unknown. We do know that she survives and thrives under extremely dangerous conditions and that she has incredible lung capacity. Where this will lead we do not yet know...

Thus progresses the DOD experiment. Only time will tell which Subject will win the honor of being "The Ultimate Super Soldier"!

In the meantime, I'm enjoying the show. :)
