June 12 2010 - 1st Entry

I've been in Malton for some time now, but too caught up in the day to day survival to worry about recording my thoughts. I don't know what the REMFs think they are doing, the situation here is FUBAR. New troops seem to be arriving every day, most of them so screwed up they barely know which end of a pistol to point at the Zeds. The rate at which the units get chewed up and spat up is insane - somebody needs to tell command that throwing men at the problem is only giving the Zeds new recruits. It's almost as if somebody in the CoC *wants* the dead to break out of Malton.

As a result, there are several of us here - US troops who have barely finished basic training. It's a hell of a way to gain combat experience, and the attrition rate is appalling, but those who survive for a few days soon develop the skills that Basic never gives you.

Unfortunately, those same troops tend to go native. There are few attempts to get organised. I'm considering trying to get together a small group of ex-military types like myself with similar levels of combat experience. Low level scouts, privates, and field medics who, whilst pissed at the CoC might still have enough of the basic soldier-to-soldier loyalty to form a solid core of survivors. Not sure how to go about recruiting, though - I've been making a few notes of those that seem to fit the bill but contacting them again is almost a matter of pure luck.

Gotta go. Something is scratching at the barricades.
