Don't know if it's a bug or a feature, or if I'm just missing something ... but I have seen no readily discernible reason why the Hadley's Hope plans on pages 376-377 are repeated on pages 384-385, except with messier colours.
Not sure I see the problem with the Kid class, or the concept of Kids being fully competent members in a team of adults of any class. After all, today it is widely accepted that 14-16 year-olds are far more competent to decide matters pertaining to how the world should be run than its adult leaders....

EDIT: Pictorial summary on Page 2. The "M4A3 Service Pistol" described as the "standard sidearm" of the USCMC ... I have to wonder where it comes from. The picture looks sort of like a strangely proportioned hybrid between a Colt M1911A1 (never seen in ALIENS) and the S&W 39 that Vasquez privately ...
