Echo

"Eat this!" - EchoEcho is a LCPL in the Colonial Marine Corps. He enlisted on December 20th, 2185.
==History==
=== The Colonial Marines ===
=== Enlisting ===
Echo enlisted after being shown the Corps by Nathan987654, who is now retired. They enlisted together, and attended the Recruit Depot at Kiowa Valley, California. They were promoted to Private and transported off world to Lycan, a now decommissioned training installation in the American Arm.
=== Marine ===
Echo's first posting was BG-223 Arachthos. Shortly after his posting, however, the Marines decommissioned the site and set up on a nearby planet by the name of BG-195 'Korari'. It was here where Echo honed his skills in marksmanship, and passed Special Forces training after an invitation by Major darkspiritwolf. Due to his Aero membership and the decline of the SO branch itself, he, Tost, and Derpitus were never accepted. During this time period, he was also selected to stand guard at the Earth Headquarters as an Honor Guard (Selected by PayableonDeath), and did the same duty at the capital of the UWF, Haven. It was here that he met his future commanding officer, then SGT MAJ, Givingup2. Prior to meeting Giving, Echo was very cocky, an attribute that was disapproved by him. Giving took it upon himself to become a sort of "mentor" for Echo, eventually turning the resentful relationship into one of comradery and friendship.
=== Battle Hardened ===
Following Giving's rising through the ranks to Major, Haven became the primary garrison of the USCMC, until the re-capture of BG-223 from Bebop and UPP forces, who suffered from the existing Arachthos Hive. Before the reoccupation, however, Echo was selected for Scout Sniper training by General ImperialWolven, and passed into the platoon, taking the role of Platoon Sergeant. Following Wolven's disappearance, he also attained the role of Acting Executive Officer, becoming 2nd to Colonel Fox6095. Shortly following the reoccupation, his friend Nathan transferred to the reserves., and Pawlo served the minimum and returned to Earth.
=== Scout Sniper ===
As the Scout platoon became older, needs for reforms were needed. This resulted in the removal of ex-Sergeant Hiskanto and BossofArma3. With these removals, Echo selected ChrisMichaelBaron for Scout training, who was accepted a day later. Chris became a crucial element, showing skills in mapping that exceeded Hiskanto's. Due to his skills, the Continental Army Crusade was easier to plan. The Scouts were later disbanded, following the VAK War.
=== "Colonists we've gotta save from their... well, you know." ===
The Marines, following the VAK and UNSC Wars, continue patrolling BG-223, with raids on non-specific targets throughout the period. However, with the return of Major ImperialWolven, one can always expect a Crusade to be brewing. Echo was promoted to SGTMAJ for a short time, but following a brunt temper, he was bumped down to SSGT. He took a brief hiatus to cool down, returning about a month or two later.
=== 2190 ===
The Marines continue in their PR's, patrolling, and general duties. Echo has returned as a SSGT, putting the regrettable week from the past in the back of his memory. He continues to have a blast in the Corps and looks forward to future activity. Following a further incident, he was demoted to LCPL. He hopes to get back up to his previous NCO position, but it may be a while. Echo continues to work on the wiki, development, and various other activities.
=== The Return of the SSP ===
In early to mid 2190, the Scout Sniper Platoon has been reactivated. Echo has come aboard as a cadre and TL of Wolfhound 1. Since the return of the SSP, Echo and his team mates have been working hard scouting and doing other various activities. During the Siege of Reach, SSP was instrumental in the capture of D point. A route behind the point was discovered, and after a strategy was developed by ImperialWolven, the tide of the battle was turned.
===Late 2190 - Early 2192 (Baja, Aerospace)===
Having fully returned, Echo has started putting resources into development and more attendance. He participated in the Honor Guard event for the New Years Address. Development wise, meshes have become possible as Blender has finally been learned. 
With the recent release of Baja, Echo is very active in Aerospace and development and has been making new hats and uniforms, as well as flying the UD4-Z. On that note, Echo is one of the longest serving members of Aerospace, having flown since Korari, seeing service with the SA2 Samson, AV62, UD4-L and UD4-M, V56, V55, V60, and finally, the brand new UD4-Z. Echo was XCAG during Cravitus's time.
