The Basics:

This is the “side” of the Inisfreean property where our military, including SAR/S&R (Search and/& Rescue) trains.  It is restricted-access; off-limits to anyone other than

  1. those who are training, and
  2. those who are training them.

Rare exceptions can be made, such as for guided tours of visiting dignitaries confirmed by pre-screening to be fully compatible with our culture/way.

Inisfreean “basic training” (a.k.a. Boot Camp) takes Inisfreeans to levels well above and beyond the SpecWar community members of the Outlands, fusing all of the techniques and tricks of groups such as

just to name a few.  After one full year of this military training of ours, and especially after two or more, graduates are at or above the level of operators in all those aforementioned SpecWar groups.  They are counted as “Tier 0” war-fighters; the best of the best.

For reference:

  1. Tier 0 = black operations agents/operatives, sometimes working alone, such as assassins and spies; always working on the most difficult -and sometimes arguably suicidal- tasks (e.g. the I.M.F. from the Mission Impossible series)
  2. Tier 1 = some of the most highly-trained, and who can carry out the most complex and sensitive/classified missions (e.g. Delta Force)
  3. Tier 2 = specialized units that sometimes support Tier 1 teams (e.g. Army Rangers)
  4. Tier 3 = conventional forces; regular troops and their support personnel (e.g. Army Infantry)

This training is part of our 20-year school system, too; all Inisfreeans living and training in this military region of our city are here because they are preparing to graduate the 19th grade.  Think of it like an extended field-trip or more-serious version of (J)ROTC.  It is normal for our natives and citizens to progress this way.

Vehicles trained on/with during this time include amphibious and all-terrain ones (ATVs), such as the Gibbs Aquada and Sherp variants.

There is plenty of room and time for worthy Outlanders to come and use our shooting ranges, training tower, and related facilities, and on special occasions such people can even train right alongside the Inisfreeans.

…

2023 October:  Since nothing other than one’s own body is allowed to be brought into our realm, with extremely few exceptions (such as returning vehicles of our own), troops coming here to train let us know in advance which kinds of gear and vehicles they want to train with, we then 3D-print it and stage it for them, and when they are done training with it we store it below ground (in our silos if it fits, and aircraft/vehicles in our Military Aerospaceport).

Fully-trained Philosophy:  

Unlike Outland militaries, which are trained to know as little as possible, Inisfreean military forces are trained to be one-person conquering-machines (or, more accurately, at least in our case, one-person genius-level mutually-agreeable resolution-machines, conquering conflict/war itself –often before it even begins).  We honor them by trusting them with all military training, not just compartmentalized, watered-down, sub-standard, officer-approved, partial training intent on crippling/controlling them with over-specialization.  We also expect the worthy Outlanders whom we train to rise up and take over (defeating their would-be oppressors out there) if they are being oppressed or neglected by their Outlands authorities.  Such was prescribed in many of their Constitutions, after all, and is the motto of the Green Berets (Army Special Forces soldiers); “De Oppresso Liber” (“To Free the Oppressed”).

A fully-trained member of the Inisfreean military, or anyone who has completed a large portion of the training we offer here, is not that dissimilar in capabilities… from legendary figures such Spartan “Master Chief” John 117, or Ghost November “Nova” Annabella Terra.

Military Martial Arts Program:

Like in MMA, we combine the best of many styles of fighting into our own (just as Master Bruce Lee wisely advised; “the greatest fighting style in the world… is your own”).  We include some of the moves and forms of

  • the Gun Katas,
  • Jeet Kune Do,
  • Krav Maga,
  • Ninjutsu, and
  • Sayoc Kali.

This new fusion of methods/styles has replaced MCMAP here in Inisfree; it is the main way of melee our trainees are taught to use when wearing power-armor or related suits & gear.

For those not training to become a member of our military, you can learn and practice some of this martial art program/style of ours in either

  1. our gyms, or
  2. our exclusive dojo (reserved for guests of the King).

We do not limit/restrict it to only be taught to military / law enforcement.  If you are approved for visits to, or residency in, Inisfree, then we’ll help you study and master it; you are balanced, compatible with us, and worthy.

 

–

Medieval Warfare Drills; Low-tech and No-tech Training: 

We train here in the “timeless” ways, too; soldiers and other “operators” can learn/hone skills in a wide range of medieval and ancient warfighting disciplines.

  • archery & crossbows (with advanced courses hosted at the Equestrian Escape)
  • axes & tomahawks
  • battering-ram teams
  • bivouac procedures
  • catapult & trebuchet employment
  • hook-down shields (S.C.A. style)
  • improvised weapons & armor
  • javelins / spears
  • natural camouflage
  • ‘on line’ fighting formations
  • swordsmanship
  • ‘turtle’ shield formations

Like our footwear, all of those items/implements are produced at our Gear Factory.  They are also sometimes made by hand at the forges and smiths of the Kathedrom.

 

–

Certifications One Can Earn Here:

Beyond our standard and medieval military operations training, we also offer the following, all of which are highly sought-after skill-sets most Antarctic research-station recruiters look for when screening applicants:

(The following bullet-notes are qualifications which can be earned as courses shorter than the baseline/mandated ones to graduate our 19th grade; the following do not require a full year of study.)

Our military puts those skill-sets to use on a regular basis, especially during SAR work in remote/cold regions/worlds.

If you earn the right to know about and visit Inisfree, any/all of that training can be free for you.

*Pilot training is completed in LHS.  Pilots at this stage of education/training are simply learning the intricacies of military aircraft, having already mastered flying/piloting in general.  As part of pilot training here and there (back in LHS), pilots can learn how to use sigils to travel more quickly and with less fuel/energy.

 

–

Prescribed Footwear:

All Inisfreean military personnel wear Storm Trooper suit boots (for heavy operations), Converse combat sneaker-boots (for moderate operations), and Vibram foot-gloves (for light operations and post-hikes/’humps’).  Guests in training may wear whatever footwear suits them the most.  During non-training times, such as ‘weekend libo’, no footwear is prescribed; attendees may go barefoot or in sandals, etc.

Inisfreeans are made as tough as they come; they’re engineered and built that way.  This means their feet are their prescribed footwear.  They can walk on any surface with them, wearing boots and shoes only when it is the will of their Maker, Auz.

Footwear in Inisfree is manufactured at this facility.

Training Facilities Directory

Within our military training region, we have numerous different structures reserved for the housing, teaching, and critiquing of our personnel, visiting allied forces here for cross-training, and the occasional field-master or subject-matter expert.

See what each mass-training construct in Inisfree’s private military area looks like, and what it is for:

Barracks for Trainees & Instructors:

* Many instructors live in the 2nd (predominantly military) Cliff-dwellings Complex.

Ranges for Troops & Vehicles; Small-arms and Crew-served Weapon-systems:

Rehearsal Sites and Landing Zones:

Staging Areas and Airstrips:

Towers and Other Live-fire Classrooms:

Trails and Outdoor Obstacles:

 

–

Ranges:

We have several live-fire shooting/impact ranges as part of this military training region of ours.  You’ll see Inisfreeans in training, as well as other/allied troops, practicing their marksmanship there almost every day.  This involves hitting moving targets, sometimes during low-lighting, overnight, and smokescreen conditions.

For more information on all of the following, see our Shooting Ranges webpage.

  • Small Arms; multiple short shooting-ranges
  • Light Machine Guns; multiple intermediate-distance shooting-ranges
  • Crew-Served; multiple long-distance shooting-ranges
  • Tanks; multiple short & intermediate tank-targets shooting-ranges
  • Artillery; one very-long-distance ‘overhead’ split-range

*  We train on all Outlander weapons in case our own go down.

Military Training Region’s Features Directory:

In addition to our facilities/structures here, we have a lot of artificial landforms and natural terrain that we utilize.

  • Baja Off-road Racing Truck​​ Dirt Track:  in view of our own Uluru
  • Crucible Reaper Trail:  the toughest hiking trail in Inisfree, inspired by the Marine Corps Boot Camp’s final recruits training hike in California
  • Cut Pyramid:  high-tech, neo-industrial complex; the pyramid with the wedges removed
  • Devil’s Tower II:  inspired by the Wyoming landform namesake
  • Faux Prison:  MOUT training (students live in the construct, and practice reclaiming it)
  • Gear Auto-plant:  where protective and other couture gear is 3D-printed
  • Highway Pyramid:  mass-teleporter for cargo truck and military convoy traffic
  • Highway Sphinx:  much larger than the original, this houses a major section of the GAH
  • Highway Volcano:  another faux landform, this doubles as a lookout post
  • Impact Zone:  where Inisfree’s artillery strikes (also used by the E.O.D. (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) teams for suspicious packages)
  • ​Inverted Pyramid Pit ‘Hood:  imagine Las Vegas’s Luxor casino interior flipped upside down and embedded many stories down into the ground
  • Military Aerospaceport:  all non-commercial air & Space traffic for the city
  • NWO MIL TRNG Area:  the abbreviation for ‘New World Order (the good version) Military Training Area’
  • Nitro Circus-style Paintball Warfare Area:  a full-scale military exercise without bullets
  • Obstacle Course:  beyond even those of American Ninja Warrior and American Gladiator (colloquially:  the ‘O-course’), the area also includes the multiplayer Halo Map ‘clones’ beneath this swamp
  • Shooting Ranges:  for everything from pistols to sniper rifles and rockets
  • Subterranean Prison:  once planned to be a version of the offshore prison with magnetic boots featured in the film The Rock, this is now where kajirae are housed and trained when their Masters are busy or away
  • Subterranean Quarantine Facility:  where new guests begin their understanding of, and acclimation to, all the Inisfree has become, as well as where kajira candidates begin their training (also capable of doubling as the city’s main CDC-equivalent (Center for Disease Control) complex) —*though, obviously, we don’t do any of the corrupt/dishonest nonsense the CDC did/does
  • Training Tower:  several stories tall, and used for both dynamic entry and firefighting
  • Vehicle Service Line:  a set of parallel lanes bordered by a series of small buildings which can prepare, maintain, clean, inspect, unload, and even disassemble entire convoys within minutes
  • White Rhino Motorpool:  parking lot for Inisfree’s multi-purpose Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs)

These dozens of features included in this region of our realm are spread out over more than 20 square miles; training going on at any of them will never affect (interfere with) training going on at another.

 

–

Military Forces Directory:

Everyone in our armed forces are part of what we call Inisfree’s Star Fleet.  That includes our entire forward-deployable (beyond-Inisfree) military force.  It is divided into groups based on how many Inisfreean individuals are recommended for charting, monitoring, and protecting regions/volumes of Space.

To sum it all up, our entire military is based out of Inisfree and the secret/private star-system it links to, all of our personnel start with training right here in this region of our city, and they are then assigned to parts of our fleet, each part (sub-fleet) responsible for a different area of the Earth and Space.

Chow Halls & Field Dining:

Unlike in the Outlands, where militaries often starve, mal-nourish, and feed their best troops very questionable food, we believe in the Napoleonic teaching that ‘an army marches on its stomach’, so we feed ours only the finest.  Chefs, not contract chow-hall workers (who were often hideously deformed and woefully undereducated out at the human bases of the Outlands), prepare the meals.  Those meals are then offered on both feasting tables with plates, and at booths via nyotaimori; they are served atop the prone naked bodies of flawless supermodels, always looking to be in their primes.  Inisfreean girls supplement these meals with ‘eating’ in ‘the field’ (oral sex), always offering their own bodies up as the living platters (i.e. having healthy food displayed atop them) for more nyotaimori whenever outdoor situations allow.

Human military leaders sometimes argue that troops should be put through hell, including with their diets, in order to prepare them for the rigors of wartime life/operations.  While that stands to reason, it also demotivates/demoralizes entire military units, resulting in their minds becoming weak, if not wholly vestigial, and their bodies atrophying to a similar severe degree.  From that, we then get sloppy manifestations; their bodies are unable to direct the weak energies from their minds, those minds not even being told they are capable of willing things into existence in the first place.  In short, intentionally poor diets lead to proportionally-pathetic military campaigns, lifespans, and general outcomes while on deployment.

Feed your troops better, and you’ll get better results.

M.R.E. stands for Meal Ready to Eat, by the way.

 

–

Medallions:

Medals mean more than just recognition/accomplishment.  Each means more benefits after your period of service; the more you help us with our campaigns, the more we help you with your own. Also, there are no taxes in Inisfree, nor is there any form of monetary currency or exchange; all awards are free and issued immediately upon achievement. 

There are only 6 medals authorized for wearing with/on an/the Inisfreean uniform.  They are to honor those who have participated in the only 6 campaigns our entire species/civilization has embarked on.  For us, a medal represents everything that went into a massive operation, compared to a uniform/service-ribbon which (in our military/culture) represents an academic/training achievement/evolution/graduation.

For information about the uniforms they are placed on, see our Uniforms page here.

 

–

Rendering Proper Military Greetings:

The illogical and vestigial Outlander tradition of saluting only officers suggests that they have no loyalty or friendship to the enlistedmen.  You should salute all military personnel, and only to show your face when it is masked by your helm’s faceplate.

When there is no helmet and face-plate concealing one’s face, or when their face-plate is already up and revealing their face, the Roman / NAZI salute is rendered.  When a helmet and face-plate are concealing one’s face, the Medieval knight’s salute is rendered.  *This salute has nothing to do with anti-Semitism; it is an ancient standard body gesture for indicating deep respect, as well as a hope for good health and fortune.

Out of uniform / off-duty, Inisfreean females prefer to be greeted with a loving hug and kiss.  Yes, this means even a superior-ranking officer hopes her subordinates will warmly greet her like family/fuckbuddies.

Their way of politely requesting permission to enter a doorway/room is by lifting up their top to show their tits, then, while their top is still up like that, unzipping their pants or shorts to show their pussies.  This is our equivalent of when a sailor stops at the top of a ship ramp to request permission to come aboard.

 

–

Inspections:

Ours involve female students (we don’t have recruits) letting themselves be stripped, if not showing up that way.  Males in Outlands boot camps stand at attention in their boxer-briefs for hygiene inspections, and females here in the Inisfreean realm stand in whatever they were told to wear that time, letting the inspectors open up their clothing to reveal their flawless feminine physiques inside.  They love doing this, as it makes them feel very accomplished, proud, and proper.

 

–

Graduations:

Month 5: Maiesta (Reverence & Graduations)
Week 3
Day 3: Tyr’s-day (war), May 9: Boot Camp Graduation (19th grade)

These are hosted on our version of a Marine Corps Recruit Depot’s (MCRD) parade grounds (a parking lot with some risers/stands for seating).  You’ll find this area (which always looks like the cleanest and most unused parking lot you may have ever seen) near where our artillery practices firing.  Don’t worry, though; we never have those long-range tanks firing any of their cannons or other guns during our graduation ceremonies.

  16. Impact Zone/s (the next step of our ODST/ST training; not just dropping via an ODST pod, but dropping into an active artillery range –and there providing combat support, First Aid, triage, etc.)
  17. Overhang Base; to get down into the Main Womb to then ride/pilot one of its (Training) CPs up out one of the CP Hatches… to the ColonyPod Strip (a.k.a. DS & CP LZ/Beach)… and there to practice disembarking (in ST suits, TKs, WRs, FJs, MPHAs, even BMs)
  18. Perimeter Orb; Sentry Towers and extreme cold-weather survival outside them (such as Crevasse Rescue training at the Perimeter Rings, Inisfree’s concentric trench-moats)
  19. Crucible/Reaper Trail
  20. SSA

    That order is from easiest/introductory training… to more and more-advanced training in tougher and more-remote areas of our realm.
