Editing Leonal Drizzt (section)

===Starfleet War College & Marine Advanced Training: Parris Island, Earth & Ravhivik, Tellar===
Unlike most Marines, Leonal went into the multi-tear Combat Engineering program immediately after he graduated from Boot. Standard procedure would have the Marine in question take a tour on a ship and achieve many of the necessary pre-requisites by correspondence. Leonal, however, was fully qualified from the get-go, he’d taken all the necessary engineering and tactical classes during the Academy, the few credits he needed were easily taken on the side during the course at Parris Island and the Starfleet War College. 

With the exception of the accelerated engineering classes; he split his time evenly between the War College at San Francisco, where he learned advanced combat tactics, games & theory and other applied courses that would apply to his position: And Parris Island, where he learned Counter-Terrorism, Explosives, Explosive Ordinance Disposal and applied combat tactics in a hot-zone. In one years time he learned all the necessary skills that would turn him from a standard Mod-Zero Marine into a highly motivated Combat Engineer. 

As electives, he took courses in sniping and guerilla warfare at Parris Island. At the War College he took extra classes in guerilla warfare, intelligence and counter-intelligence. 

Also included in the basic training of a Combat Engineer was a tour-of-duty on the planet Tellar, in the city of Ravhivik. There was a standing Marine base in that city, but it was also a fleet training facility. It was there he and his other presumptive Combat-Engineers memorized the deck plans, and carried out mock attacks, against all known designs of Starship. CE’s are, in theory, tasked to know how to find their way through and destroy any type of Starship known to Starfleet. This training took six months, and allowed him exactly two short leaves-of-absence for one week each. He used that time to leave the planet Tellar, since Tellarites were his racial enemies from time-out-of-mind, and visit his parents on his native Andoria.

He graduated all the advanced courses with honors and was immediately assigned to the fringe, to a Roger-Young class ship named Drestier which had some openings in its Combat Engineering section. He left Earth two days after graduation to rendezvous with his new ship.
