Well, they must have better taxi drivers in Copenhagen than around here! :-)

But I do agree about Wet Navy navigation vs. Astronavigation.  Fortunately
I never have had to deal with the problem of a Wet Navy navigator character.
Usually the Wet Navy characters are NPCs.

You may be right about rifle-1 though.  I have kinda based my idea of Rifle-1
and initial military training on the movie 'Full Metal Jacket' (as I have no
experience of military training.)  But, one thing I would point out is that
US Marine forces are considered Elite Forces.  In a wargames I have seen, US
military forces (and NATO in general) get bonuses for superior training.
Perhaps then US Marines would get Rifle-2 as their initial training skill.

Perhaps this should be extended to the IMP Marines as they seem to be based on
the US Marines.

Hey!  Mark Cook!  If I remember right, you were a Marine.  Would you give us
your opinion on this?
