From the "A-Real-American-Hero" Department
Jeremy Here
One of the gimmicks I've used on my site was creating individualized "G.I. Joe" file cards for people. Using the HeroMachine character engine.
(Secretly, I've done one for Rae. Okay, so its not so secret)
HOMESCHOOL CZAR Codename: RAE File Name: CLASSIFIED S/N: 169-192-168-100 Primary Military Specialty: Education Secondary Military Specialty: Communications Birthplace: Oklahoma Grade: E-4 From the advent of military organization, communication has always been understood as a primary need in the battlefield. With Rae, the G.I. Joe team has combined communication and also scalable knowledge distribution to keep the troops up to speed on enemy developments and strategies. Rae brings her skills of teaching and training her daughters to the job, and that that has proved to me the missing peice the G.I. Joe Team needed. In her spare time, Rae keeps track of family, friends, and politcal issues with the blogosphere. |
For everyone else, you can create your own HeroMachne characters with this appliance at UGO

Posted by: Rae at December 18, 2004 11:55 PMIt could.
Are you looking for something in more of a go-go boot?
That's great!
Posted by: Randy at December 19, 2004 06:57 AMPretty low pay grade. E-3 that is a "Non Rate" in military parlance. Army PFC or Marine Lance Corporal. Needs to be E-5 at least that would be a SGT in any service.
Posted by: R at December 19, 2004 08:59 AMHeh. It "pays" in so many ways to have a former Marine in your corner.
So, Jeremy, how 'bout that promotion? :)
Posted by: Rae at December 19, 2004 09:34 AMYa got one for me, too? [hint-hint]

Posted by: R at December 19, 2004 02:38 PMI don't think HeroMachine has enough guns to make one for you Nathan! *smirks*
Posted by: Jeremy at December 19, 2004 02:51 PMIf it didn't cost $20, Jeremy, I'd see if I could make one of you. G.I. Joe needs a chaplain, right? Particularly one who is an Eagles fan! [grin]
Posted by: Nathan at December 21, 2004 06:48 AM(If I spent $20.00 on this thing, it would have been the best $20.00 I ever spent. - I was a beta tester for Version 2)
I already put one together for myself, once upon a time: here.
This is what started it all...
