T3 Center (Tactical Team Training Center).
For your consideration:
I am a combat soldier and I won't mince words. We need someplace to train. We have learned a metric ton about fighting the aliens but need a space to call our own so we can hone our skills. Up until now we have just been using the rooms and hallways around here to try and get the rookies up to speed. It really isn't working, we are doing everything we can but the rookies are still getting hammered out there. We have had to do it wherever we can find space and we aren't underfoot. My guys tend to bump into things, sometimes sensitive things, while moving around and there are places where that isn't a good idea, strangely those places also tend to be the only places we can find enough space to train. Navvare says one of my guys tripped in a lab and nearly upset some lab equipment and set the research team back several months. They managed to rescue the specimens in time though. He talked to the engineer and he agreed since they are tired of finding us crawling around the workshops and running into gun barrels in the dark corners whenever we bump something out of alignment and they have to go in and fix it. The two of them put their heads together and think they can rig up some fancy computer controlled and simulated shoot house of sorts for us. I won't say i understood half of what they went on about, but they say they can rig it up to handle some live fire training too. For those things it can't handle, they can rig simulated weapons that it can handle. It will also have the capability to do variable terrain and whatnot. The engineers say they will be happy to rebuild the thing if we manage to demolish it. After all, a few hours rebuilding plywood walls is nothing compared to the hours spent troubleshooting and recalibrating the power plant anytime we bump the wrong thing doing what we are doing now. The scientists say that based on the recordings from the mission recorders we all wear during missions they can rig holograms, projectors and whatnot to re-create those missions for us to train with. Claim they can rig it up as a controlled virtual reality experience or something. I won't claim to understand it, but i believe they do. Quite frankly, We don't have a good place to hone our skills. And if this thing they have in mind can do half of what they say it can, it may be just the thing. I am tired of losing soldiers and if this thing helps us to get the training we need to keep from getting blasted. I am all for it. Truth is we have a lot of experience on the team already and we can rotate through the Training Centers as our own instructors. We can be better, We can stop losing rookies every time we go out, we just need the right place to get better.

Da Gruntz!
sounds like option A above was the most liked idea. Helps to solve the rookie getting up to speed problem especially and does what we want a training center to do, slightly increase the improvement of all soldier skills.
