United States Army Temporal Corps



Soldiers who are wounded in battle may be given an option. They can either take a code choice - being able to select a specific hitch to go on - or bonus Plus Time. One of the benefits of taking a code choice is that of being able to do a hitch with a friend.

Cosmetic surgery is not unusual in the army.

"Don't let 'em scam you, kid. It's a hell of a rough gig. The roughest. They only tell you about how glamorous it is, a simpler time, the quest for adventure and glory and all that bullshit. It's a snow job. You join the service, chances are you'll never get out alive. Oh, you'll get to see all those wonderful places they tell you about, plus some they don't tell you about, like Stalingrad, Bataan, Carthage, Thermopylae. It's a real picnic - and you get a front row seat, too. Join the Temporal Corps, travel through time to wonderful, far off exotic places. Meet glamorous, exotic people. And kill them. Or get your own nuts shot off."

Lucas Priest, First Lieutenant, United States Army Temporal Corps, retired.
