EPILOGUES

> Gertrude’s Crew “Jackdaw”
Gertrude Pool:

> NANCY WHITMORE
> After LGA, she went into professional Tankery for about a year during college. However, without her crew with her, she didn’t feel the same spark she did at LGA. Thusly, she retired before her professional career could take off.

> Instead, she decided to explore other opportunities. Her brother’s entrepreneurship kept her afloat as she drifted across the country trying to figure out what called to her the most.

> Finally, however, she found something.

> She started a Television Program, styled after Mister Rogers’ programs that she grew up with as a kid. It is known as “Nancy’s Neighborhood.” There, she teaches children all kinds of subjects, from love, to understanding, to compassion, to self-discipline, through the use of her magical neighborhood. One character is a miniature M4 Sherman with a heart on the side named “Trudy”.

> At the end of the program, she always signs off with, “Goodbye, kids. And listen, no matter what happens in your life, you just need to know one thing. I like you just the way you are, and I know, there are others too, who do like you.”

> Her program is one of the highest rated on Television.

> CHRYSANTHEMUM GUTIERREZ (RAMIREZ)
> She and her boyfriend Diego Gutierrez continued their relationship to the surprise of many. Even with Ramirez continuing through college, Diego came by to visit as much as possible, to style her hair and to offer her sage advice, as most barbers do.

> Ramirez eventually married him. They already have a young daughter named Maria. Ramirez takes care of her onboard LGA as Diego’s wife.

> Students often come by the shop to talk to Ramirez about her days in Tankery. Ramirez simply shrugs to them and says, “It was fun. Couldn’t ask more. Couldn’t ask less.” With that, Ramirez lives the simple life, the one she always wanted.

> LISA MISHKA (COWELL)
> Returned back home to Baltimore to work in the family business. She did so for four years during college at the University of Baltimore majoring in Finance. Throughout college however, she felt unsatisfied, and thusly, upon graduation, she quit the business.

> Her family supported her decision. Thusly, Lisa returned to Lafayette Girls Academy to found a business. What she found was Huxley Mishka, manning the shop.

> Despite their distance and despite their relative differences, they ended up coming together again. Lisa and Huxley married, and are now raising a child named Jurgen Willard Mishka. Lisa handles the finances of the shop, while Huxley continues manning.

> JURGEN MISHKA
> He continued running his shop until his death in 2015. The entire LGA Tankery Team, including those who had graduated, came out to his funeral, where they all sang together, “Amazing Grace”.

> In his will, he left the Shop to Huxley. And he left his prized T-34/76, which he had scrounged up the money to buy himself after the war, to the school. And he also left his memoirs to Lisa, for her to publish when she finished editing them. And for Benita, he left his set of tools, used during the war. They’re still used by her today.

> HUXLEY MISHKA
> Continued on managing the shop after Jurgen’s death. Until Lisa’s return to LGA, he was relatively without cause. Lisa’s return marked a turning point for him. He shaved his beard, he got his things together, and he began running the shop more efficiently.

> When he proposed, he said, “I never thought I would do this. Clearly you don’t have better taste in men. But Lisa, you have changed my life, and I want you to keep changing it. Will you marry me?”

> And the rest is history.

Carol “Kitten” Smith


Freshmen “Bandwagon”
> CATHY MCDOWELL
> Become a renowned guitar player through the United States, but did not go into music professional. Instead, she simply releases an album every now and again with her girls. She uses the insane amount of money each album makes to finance her home and finance a charity. This charity gives money to the poor, and opens up schools of music in less-than-respected areas of the Country.

> Although their band did not last past High School, they all remained very good friends, and still continue to play together when they can.

> TARA MCCLELLAN
> She played the Banjo all throughout her college days in Alabama. She continued to do so, and now plays in a band with a few other boys and girls called “the Foggy Mountain Children”.

> She later broke the Guinness World Record for Fastest Banjo Picking.

> ASHLEIGH BURNSIDE
> Continued on with her fiddling pursuits with Andrea at the University of Georgia. However, once they split off after Graduation, she went off down to Atlanta to become a businesswoman. She failed to do so however, and ended up homeless for a while.

> However, she came upon some money when she relayed the situation to her fellow Freshmen. They all donated money to her so that she could afford a nice little home. She made good use of it, and ended up becoming a landlady. Her tenants note the lovely fiddle music coming from her room every day.

> ANDREA HOOKER
> Continued playing the Mandolin through college at the University of Georgia with Ashleigh. They both were well-celebrated as a pair, but they later split off after graduation. Andrea went off to her hometown of Macon, and now runs a drug store there.

> TABITHA RASA (MEADE)

Sewing Club “Needlepoint”
> Anna Eleanor
She broke into the fashion industry directly out of High School with a line of clothing fashioned after tanks. Practical, universal, and simple. She brought her colleagues in the Sewing Club along with her for the ride.

Using the funds from her success, Anna now runs a small little dress shop in her hometown with Bess and Mamie called the “Needlepoint Dresses”. Anna has happily continued her life as a humble dressmaker, but she’s also found a good love in her colleague Mamie. The two have begun dating.

> Elizabeth “Bess” Wallace
She followed Anna to the Needlepoint Dresses, and serves as its financer and manager of the building. She works hard, very hard indeed. On top of her business management, she also attended classes on the side for six years, which stressed her to no end.

But she finally found relief, in the form of a boyfriend. They are now dating, and rumor is that he is going to tie the knot with her very soon.

> Mamie Doud
Mamie followed Anna to the Needlepoint Dresses, and works as one of their major dressmakers. However, she continued on with experimenting in new fabrics and clothes.

One of these fabrics happened to be just what the US Government needed to create Smart-Skin. It is a new development that allows for electric currents to be run through the fabric, and thus allow the fabric to take shape, allowing it to be as comfortable as silk and as hard as steel at the same time.


Polish Student Association “Wojtek”

Janet “Janek” Kos: Throughout her college years, she and her Poles have remained together, with her being at the forefront. She returned to Poland to meet with her extended relatives after college. After listening to her grandfather tell stories about the War, and after seeing the beautiful countryside of Poland, she decided to stay permanently.

She now teaches Tankery at a local school in Northern Poland, along with occasionally volunteering at the local animal shelter as well.

Augusta “Gussie” Jeleń: She decided to go into becoming a stuntwoman after college. Bernadette Fairless managed to earmark her a spot as a stuntwoman on the film “All Quiet On the Western Front”. However, the director found that she actually had a natural acting talent.

Thusly, Gussie replaced the original actor of Paul Baumer’s sister, and took on the role with surprisingly subtlety. She was nominated an Oscar for her.

After that, she now continues in Indie movies, lending her acting chops, sometimes for free.

Teresa “Terry” Czereśniak: After college, she began a career in radio. She now runs a very popular internet radio show called “Tanks Today” which talks about the current state of the ITL and tanks. Many of her former compatriots in the team were guests on the show at one point or another.

She’s also become a voice actor with a wide range. She actually voices Unicron in the latest Transformers movie.

Grażyna “George” Saakaszwili: After LGA, she decided not to go to college and live the life of an aimless drifter throughout the United States. After about five years of being homeless, with only sparse contact with the rest of her fellow friends in the Polish Student Association, she was taken in by Janek. There, she wrote a book called “The American Wild”, an autobiographical account of her experience on LGA, and of her experience traveling the US. It still consistently tops the Bestseller charts.

Using the money made from the book, George settled into the role of becoming a Gym teacher at a little High School in her homestate of Kentucky.

 “Olgierd”: Lived to be over 73 years old, in dog years. He passed on shortly after Janek and company graduated from Lafayette Girls Academy. Before then however, he sired over 22 puppies, many of which were adopted by the next generation of Tankers as mascots for LGA’s Tankery Team.


Aviation Studies Club “Bearcat”
> Marina Polikarpov
Continued her pursuit of Skycraft after college, and even at one point joined the All-Stars Skycraft team. She retired after four years of play and became a civilian Flight Instructor. Lidya and Katya occasionally come over to prank her by pretending to be novice pilots.

Marina pranks them back by flying recklessly with them in her trainer. She continues to be one of America’s most beloved pilots.

> Lidya Douglas
Attempted to join the Air Force, but washed out due to a hearing issue. Instead, she decided to become a civilian pilot for hire instead. She later found great success in becoming an air courier, by inventing a system of accurate airdropping techniques.

Amazon later hired her as a consultant for their drone operated package courier system and she now lives a comfortable life in North Carolina, flying her Cessna and telling her nieces and nephews stories of her time in Tankery. She’s currently dating an Air Force pilot.

> Katya Szarabajka (Seversky)
She met her husband during college when she accidentally crashed her plane on his car. After a very awkward insurance meeting, the two hit it off very well, and they married after college. Although Katya wanted to join the Air Force, she decided to instead stay at home. Luckily for her, her husband needed to travel a lot, and money was tight.

She is now her husband’s own personal pilot.

> Jenny Curtiss
Jenny decided to become a civil engineer in college, but found aviation beckoning to her again. Thusly, after college, she became an aviation engineer for Lockheed-Martin. She designed several successful prototypes, but her outspoken demeanor against the F-35 Hornet (which to this day, still drains money from the US Defense Budget) meant she would later be dismissed from the company.

However, she decided to found her own Aviation Company called Soaring, and built a new prototype jet plane which far outstrips the Hornet in terms of speed and maneuverability. It is currently being evaluated by France and Great Britain for adoption in their Air Force.


Rifle Team “Minie”
> Samantha Whitworth
During college, she ended up being scouted by the US Olympic Sports Team for their Rifle Competitions. She joined eagerly, and won a silver medal.

After the Olympics, she retired to a quiet life on the firing range. She began a webseries known as “Whitworth’s Rifles”, where Samantha talks shop about rifles, and fires them as well, and gives them her own personal review. She has over 1,000,000 subscribers, and is responsible for saving the 2nd Amendment from being overturned in 2020.

> Megan Schofield (Enfield)
When Samantha was recruited into the Olympic teams, Megan simply joined her University’s Rifle Team to little fame. She didn’t care however, and she found herself glad to still be surrounded by her most lovely guns. When she graduated, she met a nice man who was a designer for revolvers.

She immediately dragged him into a bathroom and banged him. They would proceed to get married.

They are now married with their fourth child expected soon.

> Natalya Springfield
After LGA, Natalya dropped off of everyone’s radar. For nearly nine years, nobody knew what had happened to her, and nobody ever saw her again.

Then she reappeared suddenly last year. Having spent most of her time hunting poachers in Africa. She had kept out of contact for her family’s and her friend’s safety. She’s credited with saving the Rhino and the Elephant from extinction, and she is known to poachers today as “the Black Widow”.

Delinquents “Last-Chancers”

> CHARLOTTE JONES (LUCIANO)
> Her delinquent records, along with all the others, were erased by the victory at Arracourt and of the World Series. Charlotte’s grades skyrocketed up, and she managed to get into the college of her choice, New York University. She majored in Finance for some time, but later met her husband Calvin Jones.

> After college, Calvin become a factory manager that produces some of the parts required for Tankery judging devices. Charlotte herself, despite being one of the more famous commanders of LGA’s Tankery program, decide to retire to a quiet life of a housewife. She is currently raising a three year old daughter by the name of Jeanine.

> MAYA LANSKY
> The creation of the LGA lottery helped boost Maya’s reputation, even in the face of blatant gambling and other financial crimes she committed aboard the Academyship. She attended Virginia Tech University and decide to major in Finance.

> However, she struck gold when she decided to continue her run of financial thrifting again, this time in selling essays and the like. She was eventually expelled from Virginia Tech however after the authorities found out about it.

> Thusly, Maya eventually decided to just legitimize her pursuit of money and start working at Bank of America. She currently sits on their Board of Directors, one of their youngest yet.


> ELOUISE BUCHALTER
> Her grandmother would later die of Alzheimers a year after her graduation, much to Elouise’s dismay. But Abigail would later pull her out of it, and soon, Elouise would simply decide to join the US Coast Guard to make herself useful.

> In her career, she’s rescued over 42 people from the thrashing waters of the US Coast Line.

> BENITA SIEGEL
> Continued working at Mr. Mishka’s shop, even after his death. She did not attend college, and indeed decided on to remain at the shop for a whole ten years with Huxley. When asked why, she said, “I dunno. I feel like I belong here.”

> She’s still there.

> ABIGAIL HARDING (ZWILLMAN)
> She decided not to go to college unlike many of her colleagues. Instead, she took her life savings, and founded an Animal Shelter. This Animal Shelter eventually grew into a multi-acre reserve for animals that would continue to expand and thrive with animals of all kinds under Abigail’s watch. Abigail herself later married a zookeeper named Eustace Harding.

> Her animal reserve came under fire for a bit from organizations like PETA. However, in response, she founded a charity for pets without homes, “Panzer Pets.” This charity is now one of the largest to donate to animal shelters across the country and beyond.

Naval Studies – Merchant “Liberty”
> Francis Dales
When LGA’s university program was reinstated, she attended it along with her fellow Merchant kids. She majored in Business, but found herself again having to tutor her fellow students.

Thusly, when she graduated from the University, she ended up as part of Teach For America, a program for sending teachers in training to areas without resources for proper education. She later became a Professor aboard LGA, and now teaches Business class there. She attempts to get her students into higher literature, with little success.

> Eleanor Donnelly
Her mathematician skill ended up getting her a job at a lab after college. Her major in Math Studies as well helped put her in a position to work for Majestic 12, a recently declassified project of the US to develop Faster-Than-Light travel.

Donnelly didn’t know what the hell was going on, so she mostly just wrote numbers down on the board until someone could figure out what it meant.

She ended up accidentally figuring out the theorem required for FTL travel during one of her drunken escapades.

> Waltraud Alonzo (Sittmann)
During the University program, she met a very handsome man named Jack Alonzo. The two immediately hit it off, mostly in the fact that they had everything in common.

Which really wasn’t saying much.

Thusly, they married after she got out, and she is now a housewife taking care of two children.

> Wilma Thomas Jr.
She followed in Dales’ footsteps to become a teacher, only a lot more clumsier. She attempted to be a Kindergarten teacher, only to end up being bullied by her class. She tried Elementary school, but again was bullied, and then Middle School, and then High School.

She finally found her niche of teaching at LGA, teaching Naval Studies students the ways around the ship. She now serves as one of the Merchant departments Chief Instructors.


History Club “Clio”
> Jane Keegan
Majored in History in College. Became a History Professor and a Doctor. She now serves as the Secretary of the Department of Education’s chief advisors on education.

She does her best to make the Secretary actually think about what would happen if he did this and that. It’s rumored the two have some sort of relationship considering how much he listens to her and their compatibility.

> Jeanette Smith
She became an anthropologist and began work in the field in South America. She did her best to work with the local indigenous tribes.

She wrote about their plight, and eventual extinction in a book entitled “Where Time is Frozen”. It’s considered a premier work on anthropology and is being preserved in the Library of Congress due to its cultural significance.

> Sandra Marshall
Joined the US Army, and became a Signal Corps operator. However, she found her true calling interviewing soldiers who had returned from fighting in the war.

She later compiled these accounts, and wrote a fictional account of the Iraq War called “Dust to Dust”. It is a best seller and is highly regarded for its realism and its respect to veterans. Half of all proceeds to this book goes to Veterans charities around the United States. Sandra later re-enlisted and still works in the Signal Corps.

> Mikaela Howard
After college, she took a trip around the United States visiting local sites of the American Civil War. She later compiled her journey into a web blog which is popular with students looking to do research into the Civil War.

Currently, she’s negotiating with Bernadette Fairless as to a possible adaptation of “The Last Full Measure”.


Ace Crew “Tigris”
> KATE KNISPEL
> After college at Walter Christie Polytechnical Institute, she started doing Cold War Tankery professionally for the Richmond “Drivers” Team. They won several titles, and then Kate decided to retire from the sport. She decided however to become a coach for it, and thusly she founded the Tankery School for Girls in Richmond where girls can learn how to operate tanks.

> She’s still there. So is Steelmuncher.

> MICHELLE DEWITT
> She continued doing Tankery with Kate at the Cold War level. When Kate retired, so did she, and she became one of the school’s first teachers.

> An incident occurred at the school, where a student was injured by a tank shell. Michelle coolly took her to the hospital, and stayed by her bedside until her parents arrived, and even after that.

> When Kate asked why she did that, Michelle said, “I ran out someone who needed me once. I won’t do it again.”

> WENDY KNIEP
> Joined the US Army alongside Jane Bradley. She was immediately picked up by Jeanette Dubois for the US Army Armor School.

> JOANNA BOLTER
> Decided to continue on with tanks, but away from Kate and Michelle. She went on out west towards California. There, she founded her own school of Tankery like Kate and Michelle’s. This school however was more oriented towards driving and racing.

> She taught three winners of the ITL Racing World Series, and her school is considered one of the finest Tankery has to offer. Even Shiho Nishizumi has visited, to attend classes.

> OCTAVIA CARIUS
> Despite her love for the Way of the Tank, Octavia did not continue with Tanks after LGA. Indeed, she decided to open up a little Theatre in her home of Richmond, Virginia. There, she teaches acting classes, film production, and other thespian pursuits.

> However, when asked about her career in Tankery, Octavia is prone to spending hours discussing it. Talking about it, you could tell she’d love to return to it one day.

> JO EKINS
> She regained the ability to walk, somewhat, and only with a cane. This however, did not stop her from re-entering the Tankery scene. Despite warnings of her safety and other issues with handicapped users of Tanks, Jo continued on with her career. She joined the All-Star American Tankery Team after college at George Mason University, and became its Team Captain two years after her entry.


Girl Scouts “Campfire”
> Anne Ridley (Juliette)
She became a Scoutmaster for her local Troop of Girl Scouts after college. During her time, she met two Boy Scouts of America Scoutmasters in a bar. She found out that one of them had been expelled from the association due to his sexuality.

Anne, not being one to lie down for that, contacted as many people as she could. She built up a case against the Boy Scouts of America, and ended up being the woman who made it accept boys of all sexualities. She married the other Scoutmaster, and is still part of the Girl Scouts to this day.

> Bailey "Daisy" Powell
She never did learn how to cook, even in college. However, she found a better niche for herself, delivery! She ended up becoming one of the most efficient mail runners of the Girl Scouts in ages, thus that the US Government took notice and requested her specifically to become US Postmaster General.

She accepted, and is still working there today.

> Sarah Gordon
She went into the wilds of Alaska directly after LGA, doing away with the Girl Scouts and Tankery, and decided to rough it on her own.

Five years later, her fellow Girl Scouts, after receiving no contact from her, decide to come find her. They found her in an abandoned van, no worse for wear, even thriving against the harsh elements. She had built herself a fine establishment as a hermit in the cold wastes, and now her memoirs are being published by Cynthia Low.

> Cynthia Low
Although sporty, she decided not to go into sports. Instead, she actually stayed aboard LGA, forgoing college in favor of keeping the Bakery open.

She’s still there, and she’s now dating one of the Professors.


Theatre Tech “Machina”
> Georgine Barkas
She became a well-respected playwright during college when her play “Lafayette”, which detailed the start of LGA’s Tankery program, became a smash hit. It was later performed on Broadway and as far as London.

Barkas is starting to break out into other writing pursuits, but still maintains a presence as a Theatre Tech stage hand most of the time.

> Stephenie Sykes
Studied Engineering in college, and although she had a love for the play, she decided to drop it in favor of becoming an Engineer. She had a hand in building the famous Atlantropa dam across the Gibraltar strait, which brought power to millions and opened up opportunities for many in Italy.

She now works for the US Government in developing the first functional interstellar spacecraft.

> Antonia "Tony" Ayrton
She continued work on theatre after High School, deciding not to go into College. However, she found herself forced to direct a play when the director dropped out mid production.

That play won a Tony for Best Musical.

> Brianna Robb
Just as mysteriously as she arrived, she simply vanished after LGA.

Some say she’s still building something out.

> Perrine Proud
She started experimenting with Tankery Unlimited in College when she attended Walter Christie Polytech. However, her designs ended up becoming too crazy even for Perrine Hobart, notably in that none of them really worked.

However, her good friend Sykes found her after college, and offered her a spot on her build team. They now work together.


Animation Club “Disney”
> Josephine Barbera
The Magical Girl Liberty short that her Animation Club created turned out to be a viral hit. Together with the Anime Club president, Josephine Barbera helped adapt Magical Girl Liberty into a weekly serial animation series during their stint at college.

Upon graduation, she was offered her dream job, working for the Animation Department at Disney.

However, because Disney had more or less completely abandoned 2D Animation, Josephine had to rebuild the department from the ground up. She brought aboard her friends from the Animation Club and together, helped revive Disney’s 2D Animation Department with the smash hit movie, “The Valiant Little Tailor”. She’s currently earmarked to direct another movie, based on Little Red Riding Hood.

> Wilfred "Willie" Hanna
After the smash hit of Magical Girl Liberty, she too was brought aboard to Disney to work with Josephine Barbera in the 2D Animation Department. She oversaw the character animation for the Tailor, and helped create the whimsical art style that the movie is known for today.

After the Valiant Little Tailor’s success, she has been pulled over to Pixar, one of her greatest dreams. She started work on a script and an animation demo for “The Little StuG that could”. So far, critics are skeptical, but Willie is pretty adamant that the movie can be a hit.

> Hally Caul (Geer)
When brought aboard Disney, Hally oversaw the character animation for the King, a bumbling oaf whose folds and fat bounced like the waves of the ocean. Critics especially praised the King’s animation.

Hally would later one of her fellow animators. And though she wanted to stay, she decided to leave Disney after the success of the Valiant Little Tailor to work on the fledgling indie animation scene. She and her husband, along with some of their closer compatriots, are currently working on an animated movie shot entirely with Flash.

> Leah “Pepper” Schlesinger
After being brought aboard to Disney, Leah continued to be a nuisance by continuing to order pizza at inopportune times. This became such a habit that she eventually became known as Pepper to her fellow animators. Leah helped oversee animation for many of the different background characters of The Valiant Little Tailor, up to and including the Princess.

After the hit success of the film, Leah continued to animate under Barbera. She and Hally correspond with each other on what the other is doing with their respective films. So far, Leah has been tasked with the production of various short films for Disney involving Mickey Mouse.

> Frederica "Tex" Avery
Tex like the rest of her animators worked on The Valiant Little Tailor. However, Tex was never very good at making good decisions. In this case, after the Valiant Little Tailor’s success, she ended up moving all the way to Japan to, in her words, “make my own anime”.

Surprisingly, her portfolio actually did manage to secure her a job in Studio Actas, only barely however. Her keen eye for character movement ended up securing her a job as an animation director for the anime “Girls und Flugzeug.” She also secured help from her fellow friends in the Aviation Club to better understand the physics of flight.

Girls und Flugzeug ended up turning into a sleeper hit for Actas, and now Leah enjoys a position as one of the few foreigners in the anime industry.


Magician’s Club “Shuffle”
> Erika Weiss
After graduation from LGA, Weiss was later killed in a car accident.

Or was she? Nobody is particular sure but at the funeral, she ended up scaring the funeral goers by her surprise reappearance AND her rising out of her coffin. As it turns out, Weiss had a twin sister named Erica who would support her occasionally in some of her best tricks. In this case, Erika decided on last trick before retiring from magic for good, that of faking one’s death.

Thusly, Erika and Erica would later attend college, then go into business together as the “Weiss Sisters General Store”. There they sell all kinds of knick-knacks, paddywhacks, and artifacts.

They still occasionally do magic for their younger relatives, but as far as they’d like it, their career in magic was over. And they could not be happier.

> Claudia Alexandra Conlin
Conlin moved onto the business of predicting futures for a traveling circus after LGA. As it turns out, many of her predictions often turn out to come out correctly. Whether it be predicting exactly when a man will fall and spill ice cream on his girlfriend’s ass, or whether it be predicting an avalanche, or even something as lucky as a lightning strike, she will get it right.

Conlin later moved into stock prediction, and is now one of the richest women in the world.

Much of her funds goes towards LGA and its various extracurricular programs.

> Damiana Zarrow
Damiana briefly had a solo act in which she was the “Cardinal”, a masked superheroine with the power to control playing cards. With this, she entertained children and families alike with her amazing ability to send cards flying and make them appear and disappear.

But she had further success when she accidentally stopped a bank robbery as she was passing by while in costume. When one of the robbers pulled a gun on her, she instinctively threw one of her playing cards which ended up disarming him. The other robbers dropped their guns and surrendered to the “Cardinal”.

Damiana now enjoys a quiet life writing adventures of the “Cardinal”, a masked superheroine who goes around fighting crime now. DC Comics is looking to acquire her and her stories.

> Carly Ballantine
Ballantine turned her comedic acts into an actual comedy show called “Carly’s Cavalcade of Comedy”. There, she performed a few skit shows, and performed stand-up as well with other comedians. Assam even made regular guest appearances alongside Carly, and the two are noted for having amazing chemistry with each other.

However, like all good shows, Ballantine later ended it after three seasons. As she noted “it was going to get stale after a while”.

Ballantine now still works in stand-up comedy, and is even looking to directing her own comedy film.

> Naval Studies – Engineering “Thunderchild”
> DORY MILLER
> Joined the Navy. She attended the Naval Academy at Annapolis, was commissioned later.

She is now looking into becoming the Captain for the USS Enterprise, a role that the US Navy has begun grooming her for.

> JANE BRADLEY
> Her competitive nature meant she stayed top of her class at West Point. She graduated as a 2nd Lieutenant, and began her stint in the US Military.

> She later found action in the form of a wildfire near her base. Due to the suddenness of the disaster, her small training unit consisting of nothing more than about 20 people ended up having to shoulder the evacuation of a town of over 15,000 people. Not a single person was lost, and Bradley was awarded the Medal of Honor for her actions that day.

> JOSIE ENRIGHT
> Joined the Air Force Academy and ended up top of her class throughout it. Upon graduation, she was posted to Hawaii, but unfortunately she would not fly Jets as she thought she would.

> DANA ROCKWELL
> Joined the US Coast Guard once she graduated from the Academy. She continued her efforts in radio operation and dispatch and become one of the top radio ops in the Coast Guard, known for coolness in danger.

> SLOAN “SLADE” CUTTER
> Joined the Marines out of High School and distinguished herself as the first woman to meet the male requirements for enlistment.

> Her blunt and stubborn nature later attracted the attention of her base Commander, who recommended her for OCS. Slade ended up attending, and became a Marine Officer out of it. She is now a Major.



Junior Council “Pinprick”

> BETTY GRABLE
> She spent most of her college life modelling and acting in Theatre, having found a new sense of courage after the Tournament. She decided on becoming a teacher as well after college, but found herself in a world of hurt as she tried to teach inner-city kids in Detroit.

> However, she eventually won over the kids with respect and guile. She is now the Principal of a little school in Detroit, and everyone is completely baffled as to why she stays there.


> MARILYN MAXWELL
> She was determined to find herself a husband, but unfortunately her inability to cook meant that through most of her college life, it was hit or miss. All of her relationships ended up in shambles, and she eventually resigned herself to being single her whole life.

> However, she eventually met her boyfriend, who actually knew how to cook. The two of them hit it off after college graduation, and they are now engaged and expected to marry in September. All the Juniors are expected to be Bridesmaids.

> JANE WILDER (RUSSELL)
> Her quiet demeanor meant that she went through college relatively unnoticed. She actually served for a time on Nova Community College’s SGA and then George Mason University’s SGA, but nobody ever actually noticed her.

> That is until her husband did. He described it as, “Like getting shot,” when he first saw Jane. He immediately proposed to her on that day, even despite the fact that they never knew each other and had never even talked to one another.

> She immediately slapped him.

> However, they later actually got to know each over the period of a year, and she settled into becoming his housewife. They’re expecting their first child in March.

> GEORGIA BEKOWSKI (JONES)
> Later refounded the Lafayette Runner after the tournament. With that however, she left the Tankery Team and threw herself into the work as editor-in-chief. She continued this until her graduation, and is now one of the celebrated workers of LGA even ten years later.

Senior Council “Steel”
BERNADETTE F. FAIRLESS
After graduation, she would indeed move onto Princeton University. She kept in touch in with Gertrude, Kitten, and her friends in the Senior Council for some time over long distance. After four years and a Major in American Literature, she decided to put that Major to good use by becoming a make up worker in the film industry.

In LA, Bernadette continued her work in make up, but struck wild success for her work on the popular adaption of “All Quiet on the Western Front”, where her skill in portraying the wounded, both physically and mentally, won her an Oscar. She is now looking into becoming a director, and has even been earmarked for an adaptation of a DC Comic franchise “Blackhawks”. It is slated for release in 2024.

She and Gertrude continued their romantic relations, but as the physical distance between them grew, they mutually agreed to break it off. They still remain good friends however, even if distance has separated them. Bernadette later gave an interview during production of Blackhawks. She was relatively civil, and blunt about the works of the production, until the question came up. “You did Tankery with Gertrude Pool in LGA, what was that like?”

Bernadette, clearly on the verge of tears, said, “Gertrude Pool saved my life.”

HENRIETTA MAILER (CARNEGIE)
Henrietta would later attend her selected business school, however, she found that business was not for her about a year in. Thusly, she dropped out of the school and instead went into blue-collar work. Firstly as a roofing contractor, then as a plumber, and finally as a health inspector. Although Andrea continually questioned why she dropped out of business school, Henrietta simply shrugged and said, “Eh. Turns out I don’t like business.”

Henrietta would later marry one of her clients, a man by the name of George Mailer, and she would later settle down as a health inspector in Pennsylvania. She and Andrea continue daily correspondence over the phone, Skype, and any other social media platform.

ANDREA FRICK
She would later attend the school of her choice, however she found a keen interest in science, and minored in Computer Programming. This was mostly due to how lazy she was. Because she was so swamped with homework and other things to do, she decided to use what programming knowledge she had to develop an AI that would do her homework for her.

She ended up developing an incredibly adaptive artificial intelligence that surpasses even today’s AI standards. It became the basis for the first true Artificial Intelligence, to be launched into space by 2030 on the first Mars Colony flight. Its name is HAL.

CLAIRE DUCHAMPS (WALKER)
Claire retired back to Pennsylvania after Yale University. She had majored in Computer Science, but found herself longing a bit, as if there was something missing in her life. Thusly, she took up becoming a teacher. She became one of the Middle School’s most beloved teachers, but was forced out by an angry parent after Claire explained the nuances of Sex to them outside of FLE.

The students, angry with Claire’s dismissal, decided instead to go to her house to learn in a surprise show of solidarity. Claire ended up opening the first Open House School, out of her own home. She later wound up marrying one of her former colleagues as well, and they expect their first child in a few months.



Foreign Exchange Students “Purple Heart”
Wakuza Nezumi
She would return to Black Forest Peak after her time at Lafayette Girls Academy a hero. With the lessons learned in terms of leadership and camaraderie, she would turn the Panzer Maus into one of the fiercest killing machines this side of the ocean. By the time she graduated, the Maus had only been destroyed once: during that match with Ooarai Girls Academy, but had garnered over fifty-seven kills.

After graduation, she attended the Nishizumi College aboard LGA to further her tanking prowess, and soon she got into the professional league. Because the Maus was still under her possession and because Cold War Tankery has no minimum day of entry (i.e. anything before the fall of the Soviet Union), she still ended up using the Maus.

It did not see that much success, however it remained a more valuable mainstay in terms of area denial and lockdown. She later retired after winning three titles, and now works as a schoolteacher in Tokyo.

Assam
She graduated from Saint Gloriana with the highest honor of being one of the Academy’s best gunners. However, she did not continue with Tankery into college. Instead, she used the inherent math skills she had learned from gunnery to simply breeze through college and then make an attempt at going into business.

However, Assam did not like business, so instead she found something she liked a bit better.

Nowadays, you might know Assam as one of the funnier stand-up comedians, known for her dry wit and humor and her tank-based stories that everyone can relate to.

Alisa
Alisa returned to Saunders with high honors, and Kay rewarded with her a glorious return to the position of Tank Commander. Through and through, despite wanting to cheat at every instance, Alisa managed to hold herself together, and soon Saunders began winning many titles legitimately through the nation.

Upon graduation, Alisa decided her talents were more useful elsewhere, and decided to join the Japanese Self-Defense Force. After a few years being a loader yet again in a tank, she finally distinguished herself in service, and was given a commission to teach at the Fuji School Brigade Tank Training Unit.

She’s still there. And she’s still a bit of a braggart.

Izumi Izumi Izumi
After her return from LGA, Izumi later decided to take a stab at commanding a tank. Unfortunately, driving a tank is very different than commanding one, and thus she was not very good at it. Thusly, she returned to tank driving, where her skill eventually reached the notice of the International Tank Racing League.

She got acquainted with her newest best friend out of high school: the Type 94 Tankette that she later named “Mousy” after her former commander Nezumi. With the little Mousy, she ended up winning her first title right out of college, and still continues to be a racing champion even today.

She still sends Nezumi her cooking from time to time. To Nezumi’s credit, she’s only had to go to the hospital once or twice.


Hall Monitors “Irish Brigade”
Alana Pinkerton
Alana Pinkerton would graduate from LGA, then decide to join the New York Police Department. Her credentials in the Hall Monitors would allow her to join, but because of her other records, she was other put in the meaningless task of being a meter maid.

However, she got her big break when ticketing a car whose trunk was ajar. Her curious nature made her investigate and sure enough, there was several rocks of cocaine in the back. She called in a few favors from her former Hall Monitors, set things up with the Police Department, and managed to crack a major drug ring which had infested New York.

She now works as a well-respected NYPD Detective.

Irene O'Bannon
Unlike her friend Alana, Irene decided to major in Crime Studies in college. Upon her graduation from State University of New York, she went into the NYPD along with Alana. Her charges of corruption during LGA did blunt most of her chances of promotion, however alongside Alana, she continued her work tirelessly as an administrator.

Finally however, she helped Alana connect evidence during the major drug bust. This, along with the successful bust, would get her noticed by her superiors for her meticulous work.

Although she does not work as a detective like Alana, she does work with her in the Crime Scene Investigation unit.

Megan O'Hara (O’Brian)
She and Lynnette continued their loving relationship throughout High School. They even attended the same college together at Virginia Commonwealth University, whereupon graduation the two decided to get married.

Unfortunately, neither could decide whose name to take. So they just decided to get legally married rather than spend time with the whole nine yards of Churches, cakes, and celebration. Still however, she wore a lovely white dress for Lynette on that to surprise.

And to her surprise, Lynette had the exact same idea.

They continue to quarrel and argue, but it is clear they still love each other. Megan now has the position as a Security Officer at a local high school, she’s still there.

Lynnette O'Brian (O’Hara)
When marrying Megan, she decided to wear the same white dress her mother wore to her wedding to surprise Megan, only to find Megan had the same idea. It was quite the weird day for the both of them.

Lynnette’s laziness and sleepiness continued to plague her through most of her adult career, and she often ended up fired from various security jobs as a result.

Thusly, in order to solve this, Lynette simply decided to stay at home and be the wife to Megan.

Cheerleaders “Star”
Clara Savage
She continued to be Gertrude’s (and later Griselda’s) rival throughout LGA. She even went to the same college Gertrude would attend just to compete with her, and completed a very difficult major in Theoretical Physics.

Although she was to be recruited for the US Government’s top research facility at Black Mesa, she declined, not wanting to be restricted to the labs. Instead, she decided on still topping up Gertrude, even though Gertrude said, “Clara, you and me are friends. There’s no need to show each other up anymore.”

To which Clara said, “Pussy!”

Clara is now Principal of a newly christened Academyship, “Tadeusz Kościuszko School of Engineering”. She and Gertrude continually clash their ships together in Tankery tournaments and the like.

Clara herself occasionally boards LGA just to wrestle with Gertrude, to this day, she hasn’t won.

Mayfair Stern
Graduated from Texas State University. Is now a cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys.

Brook Starling
Graduated from Penn State. Is now a cheerleader for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Ren Estrella
Graduated from Virginia Tech. Is now a cheerleader for the Washington Redskins.

Margo "Stella" Roberts
Graduated from University of Alabama. Is now a cheerleader for Green Bay Packers.


Rochelle “Sealand” Bates

Continued through LGA representing the micronation of Sealand. She even dabbled in Tankery at one point. However, because her nation was not officially recognized by the other nations of the Model UN council, she usually ended up the butt of the joke, and often ended up invaded by other countries.

After LGA, she decided to study abroad at Cambridge University with a major in Anthropology. There, she also joined Cambridge University’s Model UN council to further represent Sealand.

Unfortunately, Sealand was still not officially recognized and thus, she still ended up getting invaded.

Finally, upon graduation, she decided to continue on to a career in politics. She returned to the United States and found a job working with a Democratic campaign manager working on advertisements and slogans for an upcoming election. Rochelle did her best to make the candidate look great, by having the candidate go from town to town, speaking with the constituency, actually making sure the promises were feasible, and working on getting people out to the polls. It was her biggest undertaking yet.

Upon election day, the polls were invaded by Republicans, and the candidate lost. Still, Rochelle works for the candidate, the candidate having grown fond of her hard-working.
