If you look three threads down, there is a thread entitled Sf build. If you read thru that thread it should answer your questions.

Also introduce yourself in the proper section.

EDIT: I apologize gentlemen I just realized I posted an "answer" in a section where only QPs are allowed to answer questions. I was just trying to help a future soldier out.

Doesn't matter.

Go re-read the intro email you received and follow the instructions. Do not post again.

Congratulations.

You have simultaneously succeeded in coming up with the most ridiculous question and the least situational awareness of anyone on this forum for at least the past year.

To respond to your question, I would say at least one head, two arms, and two legs, though some are making do with less than the two original issue arms or legs.

Now go read all of the rules and stickies and introduce yourself in the proper place.

Damn, but that was a good answer. Of course there's also those making do without eyesight as well...and there's a few with hearing devices.

I always thought the correct answer was "steely-eyed, barrel-chested, freedom fighters with the kung fu grip and life-like hair."

There are a bunch of Steve Austin look-a-likes out there doing heroic deeds to deserving bad guys.

OK Guys, he gets the point. Now give him a chance to change out the chemlight in his pumpkin.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

I think you left out a couple of things. I, however, shall too refrain. I'll consider revisiting this subject after I've downed a 6-pack.
