MODUS OPERANDI – To always do the best he can. To solve problems. Protect his men and women. To obey all lawful orders. His experience with his first enlistment was disappointing as his commanders di not use good nor compassionate judgement. He endeavors not to follow in their footsteps. He maintains his skills at a top level and expects any member of his team to do the same. He is dedicated. Terminating life is part of his job. He does not mind eliminating undesirables. That rule does not extend to eliminating people for political gain.
