- Okay, Mark, we're currently under a state of siege here, so
- the normal procedures for promotion and advancement simply
- cannot be observed in your case. Therefore, by the powers
- granted to me under the special rules of wartime engagement,
- I hereby raise you to the rank of:
-
- * Acting Lance Corporal *
-
- Every corporal needs a nickname. Your special nickname is
- 'Spanker.' Welcome to the team, Spanker. Here, pin this
- aluminum 'X' to your chest, fall in line with your keyboard,
- and help us flame the living shit out of anyone and everyone
- who threatens our froup with stupidity and boredom.
-
- Rigler (Of course, after the horny freshman horde has been
- beaten off, you'll be demoted back to boot camp.)
