Medical and Technical Units

Hey there, I'm a big MGS fan and I'm playing Portable Ops at the moment, but I'm kinda stuck.

I've completed the game once, but I want a medical level of 80 and a technical level of 99 so I can get Elisa and the Stealth Camouflage but I don't really get what exactly makes the level go up.
When you look at the characters 'biography', then does it matter if the character has an 'S' at the cross, the very last icon?
Or does it only matter what kind of career the character had?
I thought only the careers mattered, but I noticed that my male scientist who is an Athlete and a Gambler but has an 'S' at the cross, raised my Medical Unit Level more than my female scientist who is a Chemist and a Nutritionist, two careers fitting for the Medical Unit, but has an 'A' at the cross.
Am I completely missing something, or is it really that hard to tell which character will boost your medical or technical unit level the most?
Would really appreciate your help =)

Oh, and another question;
For you to get EVA as a playable character, you must have completed the sidemissions to get Sokolov. I'm currently on my second run through the game, and I recruited Sokolov on my first run, but not EVA.
If I want to get EVA on my current run, do I have to go and collect Sokolov again? Or do I have to discharge Sokolov in order to recruit him on this run?
Or can I just skip the 'recruit Sokolov' part and go recruit EVA?

I've tried searching over the internet, but none of the forums or sites seems to answer these questions, so if any or you can, I'd be grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

in order:

1. to increase your rank in these the ranks instead of the carrers matter(if you can get both then great!). People who will mkae this go up are Paramedic and Ursual/Elisa. if you want normal people go to the hospital.As for tech, get Signt and sokolov. for personal go to the plant. Keep in mind though you can't have both Ursula and Elisa <_< i find elisa better though

2. If you really want her then you could use the code for her(same for Sokolov,Signt,Elisa,and Ursula). Other then that idk what to say. oh and i'll give you the password if i can find it.

Hey, thanks for the reply
I have the password for the characters, but I've got this crazy "I don't cheat" policy so I want to get Sokolov, EVA and Ocelot without using the passwords.
But I'm not quite sure if it's okay for me to have Sokolov from my first run and still be able to recruit EVA on the second.
And I do have people from the plant and from the hospital to put in the medical and technical units, I just don't know how to recognize a character that raises my medical or technical level a lot, since sometimes characters without a medical career seem to raise my medical unit level more than characters who have a medical career.

i see. i think we have aguide somewhere for hero chracters.

as for how to reconize them
medical: medical cross looks like this: +
tech: it's the one if front of the med sign that ino looks like Darth Vader's helmet :lol:

edit: here's the info for all the people to unlock the honest way.

Python - Stamina Kill him

Null - I was playing on easy, and just killed him lethaly both times and got him on my next playthrough. If you're playing on normal or extreme, I'd stamina kill him both times just to be on the safe side

Cunningham - Stamina kill him and beat the game before 1st of January 1971

Gene - Stamina kill him and recruit 200 soldiers all in one playthrough. Recruit 100, discharge 50, recruit another 50 and you have 200.

EU Version - Beat Boss Rush Mode

Paramedic - Go to Comms Base and contact her. Then place spies in Hospital and you'll recieve a report soon after. She'll then need to be rescued.

Raikov - Before finishing the Guard House mission, place spies in the Western Wilderness. After completing the Guard House mission, you'll recieve a report of a handsome soviet officer being held prisoner there. He will then need to be rescued.

Sigint - After Snake is captured and saved, contact him on the radio at the Comms Base and then place spies in the Town. You'll recieve a report, and he will need to be rescued. You must not go into Alert Mode, or Sigint will take evasive action and you'll have failed the mission.

Sokolov - Give Sokolov or Ghost the Saturn V blueprints

Major Zero - Have a DGN save on your Memory Stick and you'll recieve him on your second playthrough

EU Version - Unknown

Teliko - Have a completed MG Ac!d save on your Memory Stick and you'll recieve her on your second playthrough

Venus - Have a completed MG Ac!d2 save on your Memory Stick and you'll recieve her on your second playthrough

EVA, Ocelot and, if you haven't already, Sokolov - Quite a long walkthrough, so I'll give a link to the first guide - Guide
Edit - I found another guide to get EVA, Ocelot and Sokolov coutesy of X_GuitarHero_X on the GameSpot forums. Here it is;

SOKOLOV
REQUIREMENTS
-Be Before Final Fight
-4 Spies at Silo Entrance
ACTIONS
-Go To Silo Entrance
-Find X on the Map and Go there
-Campbell will call and tell you that frequencies can open doors.
-Interrogate the nearest guard and he will tell you his friend has one at the power substation
-Go there and start interrogating. Eventually you will get the frequency 145.61
-Go Back to the Silo Entrance and call the frequency to open that door. You will get the blueprints
-Back at the mission select screen you should get a spy report saying a suspicious person was sighted
-Go there and he will be up a ramp where you previously fought a boss. He will be hidden in a room on the top floor.

EVA
REQUIREMENTS
-After Getting Sokolov
ACTIONS
-Go back to Silo Entrance and interrogate the guard on a walkway, and he will tell you about a man twirling revolvers, then you will be called by Campbell which will end the mission.
-After nightfall you will get a report about a high ranking government official in town.
-Go to town at night and interrogate the official and he will talk about ocelot and mention his friend at the airport
-Go to the airport and interrogate the guy at the top of the control room. He will tell you the codec 141.23
-Go to the mission select screen and you should get a spy report about an official at the guesthouse.
-Go to the guesthouse and interrogate him and he will talk about the lockers at the security base.
-At the security base there is a building at the top left of the map with two item boxes in it. Go there and have snake open lockers until he says that he sees the codec. It is 142.52
-Abort the mission and go to the comm base and talk to eva like you did with sigint and para-medic.
-Eva says she will come in about a week so keep going to the airport until Campbell calls you at the start of the mission to tell you to help eva land.
-You have to go to the control room and afterwards she will call you on your radio to tell you she was shot down.
-At the mission select screen you should get a spy report saying she’s in the western wilderness. Rescue her like you did with Raikov.

OCELOT
REQUIREMENTS
-After having found Eva
ACTIONS
-Go to the ravine and Campbell will call you telling you to call a frequency (appears to be random) in the comm tower of the ravine.

Elisa/Ursula - Beat the game with a Medic Level of 80

Campbell - It has been confirmed that Campbell can only be playable by using a cheat device, which manipulates skins. The only reason people have Campbell, is because his skin is encoded into the game as he was seen in the Prison. Sorry folks.

Ahh thank you, I wasn't sure about the helmet-like symbol.
I thought the beartrap-like thingy represented the Technical Unit.
