Weenie enlisted into the USCM in a desperate attempt to get away from a horrible life of sanitation and angry lab monkeys.

... Sometimes he wonders if he was thinking clearly the day he enlisted.
Sometimes, bravery comes from the most unlikely sources.

he became a pfc, had the requirements to become a combat medic, realized how hard/how many expectations there were, and purposefully got himself demoted to pfc so nobody expects anything of him

Joseph comes from a long line of military men and women in his family.

The Clancys have served both in American and Australian conflicts/armies since the 19th century, and keep track of that history through a 'family armory' on their home estate in the A.C.T.

Joe had joined to honor his father and grandfather's legacy, and hoped to retire to a quiet family life with his beloved wife and children.

Only for his wife to die in service and for him to go into a several-decade internal conflict with PTSD and guilt.

Judy joined because she also wanted to honor her dad's legacy, but strictly made sure she did not have to arm herself, serving as only a medic, or a doctor.

Emile joined because the pay was good, and they asked him nicely.
Commander Joseph 'Goliath' Clancy, occaisonal Charlie SL. Widowed father of three. Sufferer of PTSD and extremely Australian.
Corpswoman Judith 'Mèrci' Clancy, quiet, caring daughter looking out for her siblings.
Warrant Officer Emile Clancy, Strict ex-police chief, now a tired CMP.
Xenomorph Queen 'Pandinus' ruler of the Alpha Hive. "I want more children!"
'R'ka Us'Tribi' Serpent Trapper, hateful predator.

Taegan joined up cause he wasn’t going anywhere else in life. He didn’t make much money, but wasn’t really good at anything either, so it just made sense. Turns out he has a knack for the military life.

okay, lets be honest. WHY would you want to join the USCM in the first place when they are on the borderline with a war with the UPP, and with the massive threat of CLF all over the sectors, while several colonies misteriously go dark?

If recruitment for the USCM is at an all-time low, I’d say most of the marines are people with no former prospects, either escaping poverty or a thankless existence in this dystopian universe.
