If we could, please, just admire this gem for a moment:

The one little suggestion I'll make regarding radio chatter, for that wee extra touch of authenticity, is to put yourself in the shoes of these folks and imagine that you do this little song and dance every day for a living. What about your speech changes when you get comfortable speaking it, or speaking with the same group of people? Doctrine and best practices stress brevity in radio communication, and on top of that, folks use shortcuts and come up with slang specific to their particular... whatever, situation.

You don't have to go over the top with this, though, it's just little stuff. Instead of being entirely formal with "Red 1, this is Dog 6, here's a message for you, over", two elements within the same unit or that have already been talking to one another will often shorten this to just "Red 1, Dog 6, do thing, over". Instead of responding "Dog 6, this is Red 1, roger, over", you might instead just get "Red 1, roger" and that's it. I'm not sure if this is the best way of putting it, but perhaps let your folks get a little lazy and comfortable.

They’re really dead set on keeping the event that like every fitness expert begged them to take out, huh (the 2-mile)
None of the other events are as good a measure of heart.

e: I take it back vvvvvv

I think you could work around that issue by having the fitness trainers report to higher and be simply detailed down to the level they actually service. This sort of scheme works elsewhere for small, niche roles.

e: floating this idea: if they're to be legit technical experts, why not a warrant as BN master trainer?

I'd certainly hope that, if any branch, PsyOp would actually be capable of putting out a halfway-decent ad.

The real question, though, is did they come up with that in-house?
