A/N: I would like to thank DixieDavenport for giving me this idea and my momma for the advise on marines which she got from my step dad Chip. Thanks Guys. By the way this is the sequel to American Soldier.

Hi I'm Luke Duke. Yes this is my real name. Last time I talked to y'all about 9-11 and how I fought for my country in Iraq. Well not long after I got back I got the most exciting news…

"I'm going to train new soldiers to fight in Iraq," I said excited

"Yep; we thought these guys could use someone like you to teach them," said LTC Butler

"So am I doing Basic Combat or Advanced Training," I asked

"Advance Training at Camp LeJeune."

"Excellent."

"So you remember everything we taught you Sergeant?"

"I used those skills while in Iraq.'

"Then you should be perfect for the job; good luck Sarg."

We saluted each other and left for home. I could not wait for Bo and Daisy to hear about what I've been called to do so at the table I announced it.

"I'm going to train new soldiers to fight," I said

"No way," said Bo

"Way."

"Basic Combat or Advance Training," asked Daisy

"Advance Training."

"At Camp LeJeune?"

"Yep."

"How long will you be gone," asked Bo

"About two months."

"Two months?"

"Don't worry I'll call you two every day."

"Promise," said Daisy

"I promise."

I left the following week for Camp LeJeune with my old buddy William Sullivan who joined the Marines the same day as me.

"You excited about this training job ain't ya," said William

"You know it," I said

"Just tell me one thing though."

"What?"

"Why did you bring me?"

"They told me I needed someone with me to help out so I picked you."

"Oh, well, thank you."

We drove for hours and stop several times for gas. Thanks to Daisy's ham sandwiches, cookies, chips, and sweet tea we didn't go hungry. Coarse Bo helped out a little bit by buying us some suckers, chocolate bars, and gum for the road. Once we finally got there we quickly changed into our uniforms and waited for the future soldiers, but when we got in the building we knew it was gonna take a lot of work.

"Soldiers," I yelled waiting for the noise to die down then continued, "I'm Gunnery Sergeant Duke, just call me Guns, I served the marines in Vietnam and Iraq therefore I hope to see y'alls faces out there. You will all learn the basics on how to survive and keep alive anyone who I think is slacking will do 500 push ups if that ain't enough you will do 500 more. Do I make myself clear?"

"Sir yes sir," they shouted

"Good. This is Sergeant Sullivan he will start y'all off with aiming and shooting a gun and he will report to me afterward don't disappoint me cadets."

Just then someone caught my eye and I called her to the side as the others went with William.

"What's your name ma'am," I asked

"Madison Grace Duke sir," she said
