Neither, Precisely...

You have been part of the PDF for 20 years, and a Corporal for most of that. You joined as a volunteer at 18, and served unremarkably for most of your tour, you were going to go the full 40, career armed service like your father and grandfather before you; then the founding happened and everything went haywire.

You were part of a 10 man squad, city fighting specialists, Counter Insurgency, Martial Law, and Police Actions, and your lieutenant demanded that every squad under his command send at least 1 volunteer for the brigade. No one in your squad wanted to go, so instead of disobey the order you drew lots, and you got the short straw, picked it right out of the gate, you drew first to have the best chance while your sergeant went last for the same reason normally it's some poor bastard in the middle who gets it, but you grabbed the short one right off, and that was that.

Still, they made you a Corporal in the new brigade too, so there's that, and your new squad are OK men, mostly volunteers like yourself, only 1 of the conscripts that they had to draw up, though some of them are also kind of wet behind the ears, like the 'Angelico' fellow who had just finished his first 2 year enlistment in the PDF when the call for volunteers went out. You are going to be helping Sgt. Dvorak kick these whelps into shape, but meanwhile you, who as with most Guardsmen, were considered legally dead on your home world from the minute you were inducted and therefore 'free' of your marriage vows, are going to get some sweet foreign poontang with the willing and available women on the legion's troop transport.
