i finished my story. whenever it's set, it's after JTF2 was formed and the US Army introduced the SOPMOD version of the M4 carbine...
i ended up writing a seperate story to the one i originally planned, making my character more the star. the first story i started, i will finish and post anyway as a JC fan-fic after the contest is over, whether i win or not.
the second tale's now called 'Joe Canuck: Canada's Elite'.
