The Making of Jason Bourne
Read on as I will get to her in a minute.
RPG I has embarked on the training it takes to be a Jason Bourne-like asset for US/Brazilian Special Operations, or as we like to call it at home: Spetsialnogo Naznacheniya (Spetsnaz).
As we all know, languages are a prerequisite — not a problem, he is bi-lingual and will be tri shortly.
He needs to understand technology. Check!
He has to train for hand to hand combat. Whether immobilizing a threat….
…Going all WWE (note the height of the jump in the mirror view)…
…Or just taking down the baby sister after having rendered the Teddy Bear unconscious…
He learns to show no mercy.
And let us not forget the strategic use of heavy armaments.
RPG ironically using an RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade).
So what is the result of all this training?
- Saving the World Jack Bauer style?
- Carrying out secret missions, a la Bourne?
- Thwarting megalomaniacs, like 007?
Nope.
Like most of man’s pursuits, the goal is women.
Which is where she comes in:
We are leaving the gym after the latest combat training, when a woman, extremely similar to this one but for whom I did not have the Mission Impossible Eye Camera handy, asks RPG I if he would like to be her trainer. His knowledge of languages and technology, his ability to protect her, and his dominance of Lego Stars for the XBox, obviously came through in a single word we call “Charisma.”
This kid looks hard
. The Spetsnaz will for sure try to recruit him. To bad they use live ammo under training (or used to in the Soviet Days). Wonder what the working environment act says about that
