United States Modified Persons Community

Figure 1: Captain Steve Rogers before genetic modification

Hello there soldiers, Captain Steve Rogers here to see if you have what it takes to be a part of the highly ranked United States Modified Persons Community(1).We are the most elite task force in the US today, known for fighting the most brutal battles in our nation. Remember those times at recess when the other kids would pick you last, and how coach decided not to choose you for the basketball team because he felt you weren't good enough? They told you that you were too small, not fast enough, and not athletic. Any confidence that you had went out the door in those moments. Don't feel bad, I can relate! I wanted to join the military to fight for our country and was turned down because the same things were thought about me. That was until my chance came when I was chosen for an experimental program, in which I was genetically modified. If you're wondering what that is, I will explain later. Take advantage of every opportunity you have here, lets get a run down of your training.

Basic Training

It is important to love yourself, however many of us have things that we would like to change about ourselves. This may be appearance, physical abilities like strength or speed, and overall health. People have certain traits in their head that they believe good looking people should have. Not having traits like, muscular arms and shoulders, a six pack, and height, leave us wondering why we can't have that. Whatever the case may be, basic training will help you figure out what it is about yourself that you want to be different, and also what steps will be taken to do so. Your physical and mental toughness will be tested! The department of controversy will attack you with reasons why you are wrong about wanting to be genetically modified, how you will not make it, and try to beat you down.Only the strong survive, so don't give up! Remember why you chose to become a part of this amazing community. Basic training will be six weeks in length. Following this training is Advanced Gene Engineering Training.

Advanced Gene Engineering Training(AGET)

Genetic engineering is the process of changing a living being's DNA in order to make them have certain characteristics. This is what I was talking about when I mentioned being genetically modified. This process is very difficult and involves many risks, which is why research is still being done to make sure that the process is safe and also affordable for humans. Scientists have done this on animals and other living things, but humans are new to the process. The ultimate goal is to better the lives of our American citizens.  During this part of your training, trained scientists will put you through a series of tests to see if the process can be done. Those who pass will make it to the final two hell weeks, in which your changes will take place! AGET is six weeks in length. These couple of weeks changed my life forever. Dr. Tony Stark performed an operation, injecting chemicals into my body to change my cells. This made me large, very strong, and super fast(2). I finally got to be the soldier that I wanted to be. I am now the best soldier in the military. I now go by Captain America!

So do you have what it takes? Its time to become who you want to be! Lets get started soldiers!
