Waking Up
Usually our days start with a special wake-up from CSMA James. Because he is constantly setting traps for us, one might wonder: 'Why keep him on your team if it seems like he's such a backstabber?' Well James is just James and since he keeps us on our toes, we are that much more ready in case of a real attack. Any covert military organization or any group who takes on organized crime would usually have to worry a great deal about spies and assassins. We don't worry that much since James already has all the good sniper spots staked-out, and knows way too much about where to put booby-traps.

For example we've learned that if your sleeping quarters don't have high security (double door locks and electronic encryption) then you'd better check for trip-wires before getting out of bed.

Then there's always hand-grenades in the coffee pots, poison in the water-cooler, and claymore mines in the vending machines. Honestly, what more could a real assassin do?


Once teams and platoons are up we usually put ourselves through vigorous physical and mental exercise.
Everyday before laundry we bottle up the odor of a thousand gym shorts and use it as a chemical weapon. On hot days that smell can melt steel!

Here is A15Doy channeling the awesome powers of the universe through his body. Sometimes he wears a fake mustache to disguise his true identity. This allows him to move throughout our troops or instruct them in martial arts anonymously.
Those of us who are serious about focusing the power of the mind test ourselves by trying to meditate while James repeatedly shoots paintballs at us.
After meditating Adam usually likes to warm up by bench-pressing a pick-up truck.


Instruction
At the Area52 militia we know that fighters who think they know it all are next in line to get thumped by an AlBot, so when not out on a mission we are constantly trying to improve our abilities.
Here A15Doy demonstrates for the troops a few of his(and Baab's) favorite techniques.

Here is the last time Adam sparred with James. Yes, that is a Bowie knife James is holding. Didn't do him much good, did it?

We break for lunch whenever we're hungry. We make sure everybody gets complete nutrition, and there are healthy vegetarian alternatives for anyone who prefers it. There is also the occasional 5-buck-pizza and pinapple Dr.K for those who prefer that.


As commander of the Area52 Militia, I both strive for and promote fairness and honor. I also know that some enemies will not give us the opportunity for either *COUGH* Preston *COUGH*. Which is why I have James teach our troops required courses on being ruthless and fighting dirty.

Here James shows some troops the proper way to kick a man while he's down.

This way, when our troops run into some unfair challenge like zombies or hideous
slime aliens, we don't play by the rules either. For example one troop might
distract the monster by pretending to panic like the dumb soldiers in any horror
movie, but his buddy is sneaking up and dropping a sticky grenade down the
zombie's pants.


Here, James demonstrates what to do with a g.m. who kills your star wars character repeatedly and without reason.


A hard day's night

After a hard day of either toppling dictators or training for the next mission we like to unwind with more pizza and a good old-fashioned simulation.
