I don’t want anything to do with the version of Space Marines as depicted in the Starship Troopers movie. No matter how cool the firepower looks you are still a squishy magnet for thing that go boom.
Now if it was the Book version then I would take that, no problem despite my aversion to heights.
Being orbital inserted inside a Stainless Steel Gorilla aka Power Armor is a close second to being enlisted as an O.G.R.E. though orbital insertion in one of those would be terrifying for all parties concerned.
You could have always joined the Air Force Space Command.
I mean, you wouldn’t be going to other planets.
And it wouldn’t be so much a “pulse rifle”, but rather a “ratcheting screwdriver”.
And, you might spend some time in the desert, but it would be in an air conditioned building – built by Navy Seabees.
Insanely cleverly fitting titles such as this one make me suspect you sometimes just think of a funny title and then proceed to elaborate a strip for it.
I joined the Army to see the world and spent my entire enlistment in El Paso. I don’t even know what Elizabeth Berkley is like.
Walk without rythm and you will attract the drill sargeant.
Dance without rhythm and you will not attract the ladies.

“Orc” is the correct spelling…
If Space Orks is a Warhammer reference, Frankie D. is correct.
Warhammer 40k (which is likely the reference in the text) spells it “Orks”. Maybe to show set it apart from the original (regular fantasy) Warhammer?
Most people are more competent when power-armored.

In 1995, they made a TV show about Space Marines. It was pretty kick-ass. Sadly it only ran one season.

If you’re looking for an insurgency on Dune…
Aren’t you working for the Harkonnens?
This strip is either a “Halo” or “Doom” reference.
