Chi-Town Military Departure TerminalGM Note wrote:Pre-game IC involvement - you're waiting for transport. It's just you in your civilian clothes. The uniform you had worn in basic had been returned. Your new duty station would give you new ones. So each of you is wearing what you wore to sign up for enlistment in. Whatever it is, it's been washed.

The Chi-Town Military Departure Terminal is as busy as any international airport, if any of them actually had ever seen one. You each have a ticket and the clothes on your back. A credit card with your picture, name, rank, and ID number on it is also on it. They ticket shows what gate number you're to go to. You are set to leave tomorrow at 8 pm, offload, sleep in whatever space is laid out for you, and then get up on the first to do initial paperwork and grab your basic gear before check in and the welcome speech by the Brigade Commander. There are places to eat, but no rooms. You basically lay out wherever you can. Occasionally you can find a room for rent for the night so you can get a shower, but priority for those goes to those with connections or those with rank above a sergeant. So it is you all find yourself in one of the five dozen terminal bars that serves food and beer to the arriving and departing soldiers. Each of you has been here at least a day. Last night you slept on a couch under and arrival board, because that was all that was available. Tonight, you're hoping for more peaceful surroundings.
The bartender's name is Esteban, and he talks with a thick Illinois accent (think Chicago accent)
