Schlock de-facto is special forces ''in'' the mercenary company and as such is arguably twice as much maverick as everyone else. Generally they passed through several phases.
*# Under Breya's employ the entire crew from Tagon and downwards (i.e. everyone ''except'' Breya) arguably qualified.
*# Under Captain Tagon, the Toughs are still as maverick as they used to be, but now he ''encourages'' this behavior.
*# Later they got Karl Tagon (who earlier retired from proper military without sending time in mercenary work) as advisor, and with his help, former [[By-The-Book Cop|by-the-book]] rent-a-cop Murtaugh (as a sergeant on probation), who came from an entirely different military tradition, and introduced some practices for greater efficiency and team spirit, and some former UNS personnel. Then he became their chief commander, with Kaff Tagon and Alexia Murtaugh both as captains of different units and Murtaugh's half was rented as a security team to an embassy, while the others were left on the territory policed by the same uptight team who fired her earlier. Though generally they get along. And then closely worked with more official people when UNS sent its own embassy to their employers. Then again, the chief of UNS security is Captain Landon, who used to be an [[Internal Affairs]] officer in what was described as more of a monastic order than police force... and now he runs off without notifying his boss to participate in Toughs' "joint exercise" against some [[Space Pirate]]s. So this company made him more of a maverick rather than became more uptight from such a straight and narrow neighbour.
