Mehitabel isn't infantry so Candon would be much nicer
He's got the old school soldier mentality. He only expects toughness from combatant type soldiers.
@Wes, that's a good point but it looks like we're getting all enlisted. If it were all NCOs they'd probably be meeting in a more relaxed atmosphere but given the inexperience most of them have that, in my opinion, would imply undue equality, seeing as this introduction would be taking place while they are all on duty to newcomers. We're also not going to be sure who's going to be sticking around until some time passes, seeing as we've lost multiple people to inactivity. Treating the new characters as brand new recruits opens up the ability to drop characters more easily if that happens. For example, losing Mao was frustrating. A skilled warrior stayed in a crashing shuttle from high orbit to the ground? That really doesn't seem right, but that was about the only way to explain her disappearance. This orientation would give you, the GM, an easier write-off for inactive or abandoned characters and would give the new characters a chance to show that they're here for good and that they are good.
What if we met in a formal setting, like a pre-launch briefing? No shouting needed, just a standard orientation explaining what's expected of the infantry(to help guid those new to SARP) and an introduction from each member for familiarity. Would that be more fitting?

We had a recruit that was new to SARP and was treating Eucharis like a flying whore house. He was asked to leave.
