It was unexpected (and Living Memory definitely fucked me up in ways I wasn't prepared for), but the 4 contenders along with Gulool Ja Ja and Sphene just reminded me of the type of Marines I encountered and mentored when I was in.
Wuk Lamat: The new Private who motivated, clumsy and real gung ho arriving at the new unit. The motivation is either inspiring, or makes you want to choke them out because they're the only one happy about a run at 0400. Only type I can count on the clean the head with gusto.
Koana: The subject matter expert. Knows everything about the job with all the social skills of a hermit crab. Somehow also secretly ripped. Somehow a good singer. Somehow writes good poetry.
Bakool Ja Ja: The meathead everyone in the command glazes because they always run a 300 PFT/CFT. Can't perform the job well but gets promoted because they look good on paper and in uniform (usually against my recommendations). My least favorite type to mentor, usually because they have an entourage full of dumbasses who follow them around and get into trouble with them. Instead of yelling at one I'm yelling at 5.
Zoraal Ja: Good at the job. Good fitness scores. Attitude that makes everyone hate the very air they breathe. Never admits they're wrong.
Gulool Ja Ja: The MasterGunns. Wise, untouchable, always knows what to do. Will walk into the gas chamber with no mask on every year and walk out laughing like he smoked a blunt. Cool and easy going because he's been in long enough to know how to fuck up your day if you cross him.
Sphene: My worst nightmare.....the military spouse who thinks her huband's rank is also her rank.
