Day 0

Cdt. John De Luc

North Carolina,U.N.S.C. Academy: Training Yard...

It's my first day in the academy,I had just signed up for the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers section. Sunny day in the training yard,but also rowdy. Breakfast was served,Spaghetti meat balls,and a mug of coffee. It was just about time for the training to start,so I ran immediately to my squad. Me,being just in time,the checklist was starting.

"Alright ladies,my name is Sergeant John Holk,I'll be your trainer for the rest of your days until graduation. Alright,let's start the name calling. Cadet Harry James!"

"Here,sir!"

"Cadet Ark Walberg!"

"Here,sir!"

"Cadet Walter Argo!"

"Here,sir!" Said Argo,with a heavy voice.

"Ey,we got a tough one here. Cadet John De Luc!"

I was nervous,since it was may first day on the training field,so instead of acting like I was ready for anything to happen,I sounded like a chipmunk. "He-e-e-ere,sir..."

"What's wrong cadet? Nervous?"

"Umm... Y-y-ye-es sir."

"Eh,don't worry,I don't bite."

"Yes sir..."

"Anyways,Cadet Harp Holfstader!"

"Here,sir!" Said with a light voice.

"Umm...how old are you,son?"

"17 years old,sir!"

"Oookay...Alright then,moving on,do you know why you are here? You are here because you were meant to serve Earth. You are here because you were meant to fight. And of all,you are here because you are still ladies. And I am here,of course,to help you all become men."

We all were nervous,especially me,considering the fact that I failed to reply to the commanding officer rightfully.

"Alright,ladies,lets start the first day. Now move your asses and follow mewelts have a little warm up."

The training went on until late afternoon,we were all tired and sweaty,some of us couldn't even stand up.

"Alright ladies,attention! I know you're all tired,and don't worry,the training is done,but that doesn't mean it's the end. Alright ladies! Stand up and follow me,dinner is a click from here,lets move before it gets cold!"

"Ah sh*t,here we go again. How come trainers never get tired?" said Argo.

"That's because he's used to it,I heard he's been on the field for quite some time,I think about 7 years."

"Damn,no wonder why. And where exactly do you hear these news,De Luc?" Said Argo.

"My uncle was in the field with him. Although this is still the first time I've seen my uncle's best friend. Probably because my uncle retired,and he didn't."

"Woah,is that why you're here,De Luc?" Said Argo.

"Pretty much."

"Cool,my name's Walter Argo,but you can call me Walt."

"Alright,my name's John De Luc,but I prefer to be called John."

"Cool,man. C'mon,lets go grab some munch,I could sure use some energy after a tiring day."

"Alright then,lets go."

We walked back to camp,only to find everyone in their dining tables. The day was long,but all of us knew that there would be more days to come. The rest of me and my squad's life carried on for 9 months. Was kinda fast considering the fact that we were the first produced Orbital Drop Shock Troopers of the 101st ODST Division. This is John De Luc,out.
