Moving on up
Chapter one
Molly James had just return to barracks after a morning shift at Frimley Park Hospital, Aldershot when she had a message to report to Major O'Brien, so she rush to his office and knocked on his door and waited for a reply, 'enter' Major O'Brien called, Molly marched in and stood to attention and said 'Corporal Dawes reporting as ordered sir' 'at ease Corporal' replied O'Brien, Molly had kept her maiden name at work because of Charles and they both wanted any promotion or achievement to be recognized because of Molly and not her married name.
'Sir' Molly said as she stood at ease, 'Dawes, you being transferred to Catterick Garrison as replacement medic, you are going to be under the command of Captain King and attached to his section, you are to arrive at barracks at 09:30 hours tomorrow, and report to Sergeant Kinders, I suggest you get squared away and pack' explained O'Brien 'yes sir, thank you sir' replied Molly 'dismissed Corporal' O'Brien as Molly marched out of his office.
Molly arrived at the guardhouse at Catterick barracks right on time, she took a deep breath as the soldier on duty came up to her, 'can I help you ma'am' noticing her rank, 'Corporal Dawes here to see Sergeant Kinders' replied Molly, 'one moment please ma'am' replied the private.
Captain Kinders reported to the gate to meet Molly, and Molly and the private stood to attention 'Corporal Dawes, reporting for duty sir' replied the private 'thank you Private Taylor, with me corporal' said Kinders 'sir' they both replied, Once out of hear shot of the Private, Kinders switched back to friend mode with Molly, 'how are you molls?' asked Kinders 'been better, eggy how's the missus and my godson?' Molly asked, Kinders had married Molly's friends Jackie Allen, who she met on her first tour of Afghan, 'They are both good, can't wait to see you now, your up here' replied Kinders.
Newly promoted Captain King was 2 Sections new captain as Captain Charles James and Corporal Georgie Lane was on suspension pending investigation in the events in Bangladesh, they were caught fraternizing with each other, Molly was also seeking a divorce from Charles whom she'd been married to for 6 years and ended her friendship with Georgie whom she met through his best friend Elvis who died I Afghan 2 years ago and who she supported through her dark days.
As Molly and Eggy stood outside the mess hall, Molly suddenly got really nervous and worried, 'You ok Mol?' a worried Eggy asked 'he'd known Molly 7 years since she was a battle replacement medic, although they didn't really hit it off at first due to Smurfs nasty revenge when he thought Molly had grassed him up to Captain James, but once she saved Smurfs life by crawling through a minefield his and the rest of two sections accepted her into the fold, 'what if they hate me or sum fink' she said as a lonely tear escaped, 'Moll we love you and the lads have been so excited' he said giving her a nudge, 'Cheers Eggy, right lets get this over with' breathed Molly, 'Look whose arrived lads' shouted Kinders, 'Dawesy' shouted Fingers, Brains and Mansfield the only lads from the original 2 section, Nude nut, and Dangleberries had been transferred after three tours together and Baz had been medically discharged due to a damaged shoulder he suffered in Nairobi. 'Awright cockwombles' laughed Molly, as she relaxed with the relief at the welcome she received, she sat down to catch up with the lads, as it been over a year since she last saw them as Eggy's sons christening, 'Sorry about the bossman, Molls, we had to report him and Lane, but we didn't want you to get hurt' said brains 'your like our little sister' Said fingers, 'its okay guys, you made the right call' replied Molly giving the lads a hug.
As they chatted about what they had been up to the last year, about they're promotion to corporals and they personal lives, fingers mentioning that he'd split up with Marie who was Gerogie's sister because he had reported her sister, how Maisie and Rab had become a couple resulting in Maisie's transfer and Monk becoming a dad.
After about an hour, Kinders said to Molly she needed to report to Major King, and sort out the paperwork and her request to live off barracks who granted and that she could stay with them until she found somewhere to live, once it was approved, after everything was completed she was allowed to go off duty but was to report to him tomorrow morning at 08:00 hours for morning PT session and first day.
She got to Eggy's and Jackie's and spent the evening catching up with Jackie and Eggy and avoiding the talk of her impending divorce and his affair, which suited Molly as she didn't want any pity, as she had fallen out with her family because they blamed Molly for getting to big for her boots, so she only had Jackie, the lads, her stepson Sam and his parents.
