The Rizzo

The Rizzo doesn't have much use for regulations but overall likes the military because he gets free room & board plus three square meals a day. He could be mistaken for a Professional Slacker if it weren't for a willingness to fulfill his duties, but he does have a tendency to take as long as he possibly can. It's not unknown for him to take on additional duties, if only to make himself look busier than he really is. Often a target of The Neidermeyer and Drill Sergeant Nasty, he’s the polar opposite of someone Gung-Holier Than Thou. An entire company can be comprised of Rizzos to varying degrees.
