I think it's pretty good actually. Couple of suggestions. Should 'world' have a capital 'W'? And maybe you want a stronger font to make sure the dots on the 'i's stand out? But as I say, it's good.

I have a similar dislike of the use of Courier as the font, thinking instead that a totally appropriate alternative is 'Army', which is a stencil-type font. Using it would also answer the question about which case to use, as it's a caps only font. Here's an example:

Well, apart from the fact that I'm slightly biased as I already submitted an alternative design, my reaction to your new version is that it's not immediately easy to read and, as has already been mentioned, it really should have 'world' written with a capital as 'World' is a name, not just an object i.e. 'Military World'.
If for any reason your image is going to be scaled down at all — I presume it's 100% at present — then the wording will be illegible to many. If you really must stick with that script font then I suggest you split the two words onto separate lines and increase the size to fill the right-hand upper space, e.g:

is it possible to make Military World lil bright in this one ?
You have managed to fill the empty space this time but some brightness in "Military World" should make it perfect.

I set the opacity of the letters around 50-60% deliberately, Mark, to match the density of the three profiles on the left — it seems our friend has a thing for vapour-trail symbolism ...
This is at 100% opacity, using the colours of his lettering example:
I felt that this takes the focus away from the profiles?

Yeah. thats right.
This one takes the focus away but something seems to be missing in the previous one as well. Logo should have bright impact and "Military" word in itself makes a strong impact so its logo should show that power.

Y'know, for someone who asked for comments and advice (and received it in abundance), you're giving next-to-nothing back again in the way of criticism or praise — why should we bother to take further part?
As for this latest incarnation, let me tell you that I have a colour-blindness deficiency and I can't even read the writing at the bottom of your graphic, so for me it's a total non-starter ...

Do you ever have problems with people not giving you any information to work with to come up with a logo? I find this is ALWAYS a problem in website hosting development.
