Chapter I-Recruitment
September 1st, 2552. Fort Knight. 0500 hours.
As I strode forward nearing the five recruits in front of me, I couldn’t hope but look at them as puppies being separated from their mother. Every one of them had a glint of sadness in their eyes. They looked afraid. Not knowing if they would make it in the real world outside of the target ranges of Fort Montgomery. They all stood, in the freezing cold English weather, saluting me as I approached them. None of them looked any more confident then the kid standing next to him.
I came to an abrupt halt. “At ease” I barked over the sound of the pouring rain slamming against the metal Pelican landing platform. Simultaneously all five of the Marines before me spread their legs and put their hands behind their backs.
“It is my duty, as the Master Sergeant of the UNSC 101st Helljumper division Fox Company to inform you that this training you are about to partake in, will be the hardest training you will ever have to go through. I will watch everyone of you either pass, or fail this training. This is your last chance to back out. If you are still ready and willing to confront each one of these challenges head on and to the fullest of your abilities, step forward.”
As I ended my statement, each Marine, without hesitation, stepped forward in unison.
“Fall out! Be ready to start training at 0600 hours! If your late, your gone!” As the marines fell out around me and went through the hanger doors, I stood for a moment. As the rain bounced off of my cap and shoulders, A quick flash of my last mission passed through my mind. The pain and suffering of my fellow soldiers. The stench of dead bodies, both human and Covenant. The sight of the 12 inch spikes, the plasma burns. The mud. Everything that was horrid and un-godly in the world was there.
I quickly pushed the thoughts to the back of my mind as I made a deal with myself. Put the boys through hell now, they will thank you in the future.
I turned on my heals and walked through the hanger doors. Training begins in one hour. Until then, its just me, my rifle, and a holographic target.
Hope you liked it.
Cheers!
