Starting Points:
Okay. I am bumping the number of base points up to 125
Disdvantages will remain at 35 points. Quirks will remain at 5 points.
Keep in mind that you will be participating in a highly regulated organization. Severe personality traits will not be allowed in high security military organizations. Severe phobia's and other mental disorders will get you a one way ticket to civilian life and possibly a trip to the mental ward of a local military hospital
Character Types:
This is a short list of the types of characters I am looking for in this game. It is not required or expected that any one PC cover more than one position. If needed the GM will fill in empty slots.

I've been debating with myself over including other branches of the military in this game. In the movie the entire operation was run and manned by the Air Force. In the TV series the Marines are used for base security and for a couple of the SG teams. There is some debate as to the authenticity of Special Operations Teams in the Airforce. Especially peretaining to ground combat. There are many examples of Special Operation Wings in the Air Force. Mostly pertaining to air support for a variety of ground troop situations. But there are some obscure references to Air Force ground units with Special Operations training. With that in mind. The SG-13 military characters will be from an Air Force Special Operations background. We'll leave guarding the base to the Marines. You may opt to use any of the Special Forces templates in the Special Ops book that do not exceed the point limitations. As long as it is understood that you will still be an Air Force character. You can still be thae nastiest knarliest special operations commando allowable by the points. Just that your dress uniform is blue. Enjoy.

This is the current list of required advantages for PCs. This list is subject to change.
Okay...I've decided that I'm going to make the cost for the team officer's and the team NCO's rank 0. Basically this will give those two PC's a few extra points to deal with those pesky administrative and command skills needed.
Latest changes. I've dropped the cost for Fit to 0 Anyone taking Improved or Very fit will get to spend 5 points less on it.
