Okay, are you ready? The stories plot was good, but you repeated some of the stuff to much. Such as... | Quote: | | Sergeant Von Tross left the room. Fred removed his patient robe and started to slip on the components of the new armor. Fred placed on the breast plate, the hand gauntlets, and finally the helmet. The helmet had an orange reflective visor. The armor's systems started to integrate to Fred neural interface. The sergeant walked back into the room | Instead of saying something like, "Fred did this, and Fred did that, then Fred went and took a nap." You should put, "Fred did this, and he did that, then he went and took a nap." If you're talking about the same person, use he, she, it, etc. Also, use a comma instead of a dash, it looks alot nicer. Anyways, that's all that I saw. It gets a 6/10  _________________ Randomly invading your fanfiction since 2006. |

Thanks for that. I'll remember to use that advice in my next chapter. You're right, saying Fred dozens of times will annoy readers. 6/10 ? Sounds good, but I can do better. |

First thing that I noticed was that Tango companys CO was a NCO, Staff Sgt's lead squad's not companies, Captain's lead companies.
Other than that I liked it, I'll keep a look out for the next one! |

Thanks for reading. I should have mentioned that Sergeant Carter was a non-commissioned officer. And actually a captain doesn't always lead a company, if there was a shortage of personnel then the next in command would take over. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Next in line would be a Lt, and Captain is a command position, he'd be a pencil pusher!
And, you welcome. |

| I thought it was good for being my second fan fiction. I didn't just slap some crap together and call it a story. I actually thought about what I was writing, unlike some people. Anyway, I know what I think... what do you think? |

Sidney, Australia should be Sydney, Australia |

Its been a while since I read a good plot in a story for a while. Or I just dont come here to often.
You had a good story =) I liked it. and would want to read that next chapter.
but this chapter. only puzzling thing is. that i doubt ackerson, no matter how stupid he may be, would write a message saying almost everything on the mission to come since it can be intercepted and all ya know?
well ttyl.
good luck. _________________ Mark Lieberg

Yeah, thanks for the compliments. And it would make more sense for Ackerson to say it out loud than in a message... or would it? Think about it, if Ackerson hated the Spartan program-maybe he wanted it to be intercepted. Maybe...  |

Very good, 1337. One massive preoblem. I am an Australian. I live about two hours from Sydney, the location of the 2000 Olympics. I mean god, do your freakin' research. Other than that good. I agree with what some of your other constructive critics said. Anyways, apart from the gorram Sydney blunder I give you 5/10
Peace Out, Y'all! |
