    Sci-Fi Edition Recommend The Lost Fleet series. The only book on my sci-fi list that isn't from a known property. The Lost Fleet is set in the distant future where Earth has colonized the systems far and wide, and of course rebellion breaks out. The main character is a Lieutenant woken up from a cryo sleep hundreds of years after he supposedly died in battle and became a legend to other captains. The main character wakes up in the middle of a losing fleet battle, stranded years behind enemy lines and needs to fight his way back. Great character, solid story, fantastic science and action. 7/10 Must Read Star Wars: Republic Commando series. Love Star Wars? Love action? Read the Republic Commando series and thank me later. The series follows the hardened Clone Commandos of Omega Squad, a special forces group tasked with carrying out the Republic's most dangerous missions. Through the series you'll be introduced to a wide cast of characters and settings that you don't see through most of the universe. The books also expose the dirty and dark side of the war that most people think of as a cartoon. I give it a 9/10. Will edit this post to add more books.

    Must Read Level Zero Heroes / Dagger 2-2 by Michael Golembesky. If you're in this unit and haven't read these two books about MARSOC in Afghanistan, I'm going to Ninja Punch you. Golembesky paints a thorough and eye opening picture of what it's like to operate in a gloomy, wartorn area of Afghanistan, and the trials and tribulations of trying to accomplish a mission with both hands tied behind your back. You'll laugh, cheer, shake your head, and cry as he recounts Dagger 2-2's missions and what they had to go through. I cannot recommend these books enough, and I'm currently re-reading Dagger 2-2. I give it a 9/10. Recommend Rogue Warrior series by Richard Marcinko. Founder of Seal Team 6 (now known as Devgru) Richard Marcinko starts his action series with the non-fiction story Rogue Warrior about his time in Vietnam and the founding of Seal Team 6. His followup book Red Cell combines both fiction and non-fiction in another fantastic military thriller about beating up badguys and slaying bodies. Red Cell is great because it combines things he's actually done with faux people, locations, and times. After Red Cell it begins to fall off into fiction pretty hard, but if you enjoy military action, you may enjoy it. I give the series a 7/10.

    Alright you nerds, lets talk about some books, I'll list what I've read recently and make some suggestions. JUST FINISHED Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy: If you like military action, especially CT stuff, I highly recommend Clancy's original Rainbow Six. As usual, its solid action based in reality with good characters that you actually enjoy, and a bone chilling terror plot. I give it a 9/10. Recommend For those of you who love Team Yankee and want more Third World War, I have another solid book for you. Very similar to Red Storm Rising (which if you haven't read stop reading this and go read that you retard) is a book called Arc Light by Eric Harry. Fantastic book, some okay characters, very good plot. Just to give a hint, the book STARTS with a strategic nuclear exchange and it gets crazier from there. I give it a 7/10, that low only because its a tad more political than action and some of the characters suck. Must Read Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy. Holy fucknuts if you haven't read this book and love realistic military thrillers what the fuck is wrong with you? I've read a lot of books and this is easily my top 3. Clancy knocks it out of the park with this World War 3 technothriller. Fantastic action, great characters, and an amazing storyline. Seriously, buy and read this book. I give it a 10/10, everyone should own this. I'll update this more later, but everyone else feel free to add their own.

  19. I think maybe we should consider using AOR or MC in the future @1stLt Golembesky
  20. I think it would make more sense for MARSOC to adopt AOR.
