"The Family" is neither organized crime (well, in a sense it is), nor is it a new world order. It is, literally, a family...as in, like gypsies. Families/tribes that sustain themselves through low level crime and odd jobs.

Good catch on the call up...the reserves are not the national guard....
However, this can be explained away by having a Commander call in forces to get accountability, protect government/military assets, or (with special authority) respond to a natural disaster. It is interesting so few unit members made it to the armory when it is described as a very large armory--possibly because of zombie infiltration or because the order to assemble wasn't official?
Regarding Angel, it's not so much bravado as it is not caring about a shake and bake officer/glorified private and Randy not having a relationship with him. It seems Randy is much more concerned about Saul than he is about Michael...Michael is a soft-skill POG and Saul is a grunt....Engineers are closer to grunts than they are MI (which tend to have an over inflated opinion of their contributions to mission effectiveness). And as far as soft-skill, PAO is about as soft as you can get.
Due to Skittles' mental health, i doubt he would properly recognise him. Although, the second time we met him, he was doing better; maybe now he is fully recovered? Also, we haven't been shown an instance where Skittles has seen Randy, with or without anyone with him, so it may appear unimportant to him if he had of seen him - it's just another smart one, no need to bring up the details of exactly that one?
Um, you are not KC trolling us with an alt are you?
Infection by biter 1.0 does seem to prevent upgrading to inkling. Otherwise, I am sure Ink would have done so. There is an abundance of examples of a similar virus giving immunity to a similar pathogen. The reason "milk maids" were so desired by rampaging knights is that the milk maids got cowpox. This protected them from the much more nasty scaring caused by Smallpox which leaves a much greater number and more severe scars.
