Missed the point in some areas.

If you have proven examples of good SM recruits, take their sperm sample which you should have taken as they were initially recruited (...if in that right age range) and place them into equally proven examples of females and let her carry to term the offspring.

That would likely mean a SoB over most IM i'd say, as I'd of thought the SoB are closer to SM's than the IG are, given the deployments and use of arms but only as a generalisation. A smart system would be to take any suitably proven example.

The resultant offspring should benefit from some of the good genetic material of the paternal and maternal side. If a program exists then get a few generations of this going and you should have a crop of good recruits.

Place them into nasty places, hive/death worlds etc sure, apply the nuture elements but the so-called nature elements you are giving the best chances of success. The Nazi's and such were doing it and we have done it for years with animals and plants to to 'Low Tech Genetic selection'.

it's all well and good to have quality over quantity but if you are wasting your time and effort half the time then any attempts to improve the system should be taken. This is the thing about GSW i don't like, most of it makes little sense.
