Dial-Tone (SG)

"Hold my calls!"

Dial-Tone built his own crystal set when he was ten. By fourteen he was part of a CB net, and had his own ham station by the time he was sixteen. Dial-Tone made all of his own equipment, buying parts with quarters earned bagging groceries. He saw the army as a means to furthering his education in his chosen field and quickly found that instead of a stepping stone, it was a goal in itself. Manning a radio in the field wasn't just passing time -- it was a job with a purpose. Dial-Tone is also the unofficial electronics repairman for the team.

Description
Dial-Tone is a handsome Italian-American techie, clean-shaven aside from a neat moustache. Outdoors, he wears a dark beret. He sports a black Kevlar vest over a neatly-pressed grey shirt, off of which hang two grenades and several small equipment pouches (well armed for a tech... don't ask him where the 'any' key is!). He is muscular, and generally has a friendly, if slightly nerdish, demeanor. His pants are dark-blue, and his black combat boots are usually highly polished. Indoors, he moves easily around communications equipment, and has a relaxed, casual air. On missions, he's usually weighed down with gear and weapons, and adapts a more business-like manner.
