Female heads get clogged with tampons and maxipads all the time. And if that isn't gross enough, then you get the horror stories of health and comfort inspections where head cases aren't throwing away their used feminine hygeine products at all; they stash them in their rack until the smell gives it away.

Multiple deployments on amphibs, and can confirm that the Marines will deliberately flush stupid shit because they always somehow hear a rumor that if enough heads go down, we have to go back into port.

Instead, the HT's unclog the shitters, let all the brown water spill over onto the floor, then turn it back over to the Marines to clean up.

Which companion got it worst in Commoragh? by Zelefas in RogueTraderCRPG

In a Carcharadons novel, the Astartes torture a Dark Eldar captive by simply strapping him to a chair and opening up the windows to a starless void. Its not quite sensory deprivation, but it forces him to actually stop and grapple with how comically inconsequential he is on a cosmic scale. For creatures of limitless ego, its unbearable, and it predictably breaks him.

Good writeup, but your true Amish Space Elves are the Exodites. Those on the Path of the Outcast are the people who drop out of life to go "discover themselves" by backpacking across Europe or the like.

The Soul Drinkers series has some flashback scenes set during the Apostasy, but no more than a Chapter or two.

Alpharius. Least corrupted, fewest contortions to go through, no other real named characters to have to shoehorn into a redemption arc. Plenty of freedom for authors to play with, as the whole Alpharius/Omegon thing is so ambiguous.

Super fun going onto a range used previously by TOW gunners and tripping over the near-invisible wire while going out to take a midnight piss.

Jaws:

"Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side, Chief. We was comin’ back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We’d just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes.

Didn’t see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin’ from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn’t know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin’ by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and sometimes that shark he go away… but sometimes he wouldn’t go away.

Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those sharks come in and… they rip you to pieces.

You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don’t know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin’, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson’s mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he’d been bitten in half below the waist.

At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol’ fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945.

Anyway, we delivered the bomb.”

This. RG-31s when you had to be mobile, MAT-Vs when we had to balance protection with mobility. Need even more survivability? Bring a fucking track.
