I wouldn't at present because at least one member would try to kill me upon recognition I think.

Black Ops.
In that case, definitely not. They don't even exist technically.

Ha! Hehe. Sure, I would. Still do, seeing as how I keep going on these missions.

I hope the next set of missions doesn't require the Joker team. I wanted some good ol' on-ship vacations which won't really be vacations because I have people to recruit and actually try to instruct (if Milno makes it out of M16). "Crucible by fire" is really a terrible way to train people who are supposed to be subtle.

A man can hope, but I believe it's one of the cases where those hopes are in vain.

Somebody had this idea to employ drill sergeant to prepare newcoming ARM troopers. Given not all of the troopers were combatants prior to assignment and even those who were sometimes have very vague knowledge of such things as "discipline" and "hierarchy", that might be a really good idea.
My character, for instance was into hunger games-like bloodsports, so he knows how to deadify things, yet he is a bit more focused on the image of the death rather than certainty of death. The reason speaks to him, so he refuses from blatantly ineffective methods, but the habits of making death look, well, deadly to observers are still strong.

Unfortunately, most of time we're pressed for time. I already ran a simulation with two newbies once and I think all we learned by its end was that both had high probabilities of dying to space magic-incidents caused by one of them judging by the amount of VR deaths. That was a bit before China-9 and the inmates were Nekarios and Nikitian (the character).

I may try to create a quick VR course with more detailed sections for Joker.

You should run another simulation with people to predict what kills them.

GDI guys.
Here's a question for you: Would you trust Joker team with your life?
Hmm. Depends on who's in that team. But probably yes.

I hope the next set of missions doesn't require the Joker team. I wanted some good ol' on-ship vacations which won't really be vacations because I have people to recruit and actually try to instruct (if Milno makes it out of M16). "Crucible by fire" is really a terrible way to train people who are supposed to be subtle.

You know, you don't have to be on every blops mission. Putting someone you trust in charge and letting them do their thing and trust in the outcome is a good alternative.

Somebody had this idea to employ drill sergeant to prepare newcoming ARM troopers. Given not all of the troopers were combatants prior to assignment and even those who were sometimes have very vague knowledge of such things as "discipline" and "hierarchy", that might be a really good idea.
My character, for instance was into hunger games-like bloodsports, so he knows how to deadify things, yet he is a bit more focused on the image of the death rather than certainty of death. The reason speaks to him, so he refuses from blatantly ineffective methods, but the habits of making death look, well, deadly to observers are still strong.

Possible problem, who would this be for? To train players, or give characters an IC excuse to know some tactics?

Well if the current practice of treating newcomers gives accptable results, we probably don't need to do anything about it. I don't have enough knowledge on this matter.

The only member Pan would trust with his life is Skylar. And "trusting" is already stretching it a bit.

For the last few days, I've been having "Uptown Funk" stuck in my head. I can't stop listening to it!

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.
