Roadblock File Name: Hinton, Marvin F. Primary Military Specialty: Infantry Heavy Weapons Secondary Military Specialty: Cook Birthplace: Biloxi, Mississippi Grade: E-5 (Sergeant) Growing up in the South, Roadblock was not known for being tough. As a child, he was both a member of his church choir and a boy scout. But what surprises people most about Roadblock is learning that he dreamed of becoming a gourmet chef. He was working as a bouncer -- an easy job thanks to his immense size -- to earn money to attend the Escoffier School in France when an Army recruiter convinced him the Army could train him to be a chef. He joined, but found Army cuisine to be appalling. Even so, he took well to Army life and transferred to the infantry. A qualified expert with anything that weighs more than fifty pounds and has a full-auto switch on it, Roadblock prefers the M2 “Ma-Deuce” .50 caliber heavy machine gun as his personal weapon. With his size and brawn, he can haul the machine gun with accompanying 50 lbs. ammo and still endure the powerful recoils. That fact alone is enough to scare the enemy. He can be totally depended on to provide all the fire suppression necessary to carry out a mission, and anyone on the team will tell you that there is nothing more comforting than seeing Roadblock coming up behind you, laying down a steady, protective covering fire. Roadblock is a world class chef, and equally at ease with preparing a seven course gourmet dinner as he is with laying out a staked-out field of fire for an ambush. Amiable and well-liked by his fellow team members; Roadblock does not appear to have any irritating faults, other than a tendency to put a dash too much cayenne pepper in his famous crawfish stew. “You keep telling me the ma-duece isn’t a handheld weapon, and I keep saying, maybe for your hands…” |
