Disclaimers:Stargate SG-1 and its characters are properties of Showtime/Viacom, MGM/UA, Double Secret Productions and Gekko Productions.  Much to my sorrow, I think that precludes me claiming either the archaeologist or the colonel. Original characters, situations and story are the property of the author and are not to be appropriated without the permission of  the author.  This story is intended for entertainment purposes only; no money will be made with it.  Trust me.  No money.

Summary: The new SG-3 has a few difficult rough edges, and the general figures SG-1 is just the team to polish them away.

Warnings:  Let me acknowledge immediately that I *know* Marines are perfectly wonderful folks.  But there are a few...  

Notes:  This story originally appeared in Ashton Press's fine fanzine "Redemption #1."  More than a year has passed since its publication, so I can now post this to the web :^)

This was my first major gen story.

Thanks to my beta extraordinaire Poss for keeping my mechanics in line, and thanks to specialty consultants Rowan, for the firearms stuff, and Obelix for the hand to hand stuff.  And as always thanks to my great mystery medical beta, who prefers to remain an enigma.
