I stopped short of using "mercenaries" to describe APS adventurers because mercs are soldiers who work for the highest bidder.

APS adventurers go out and gets $^!t done because we think it's fun.


Of course, we WOULD ask that we be compensated for our efforts, preferably by the insurance agency that wrote the policy for the boat.

Gotta pay for our liquor and ammo somehow.  grin


You aren't thinking current market.

Book deal when you get back.
You forget something else: TV. Military Channel or some other would probably like to embed a camera guy with us...I'm sure we can get some sponsorship from there, to add to the money we'll get from insurance companies, and the book deal grin.
So, when do we start? grin

Don't forget toys and action figures.  (although in the case of some APS members, our "action figures" would come in a Play-Doh can......)
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I want that model.

I'd finally be able to add a decent weapons outfit to Serenity...


(Legos were about the only toy that held my attention. Of course, I still have all of mine).
