"Jackson get the hell down" yelled staff sergeant Chavez.

"They're everywhere sarge!" I yelled back while firing my M-4 carbine.

"Remember what you learned in SOI" he said sliding next to me in the ditch.

SOI seemed like such a long time ago now, now that I was in the shit.

Suddenly at that moment the sound of a cobra attack helicopter was overhead.

At once it fired its rockets and the explosions shook the ground and the enemy fire quieted.

"Back to the humvees!" SSgt was yelling the order.

The ride back to camp Leatherneck seemed to take forever maybe it was just the adrenaline.

"We are moving out at 0630 tomorrow be ready by 0600." SSgt repeated to us.

As I lay down in my bunk that night I thought about Annabeth, she was my whole reason for joining the

Corps. I'm only 19 what the hell am I doing here you may ask I do it for my love. Annabeth and I go

back a long time before this crazy war. The thought of her made me happy only 12 days left. Right now

I'm stationed in the Helmand province in the Stan or Afghanistan for you civvies. I'm with the first

Reconnaissance division my official MOS (military occupational specialty or job) is 0331 or

Machine gunner. Basically I carry around a SAW all day in 100 degree weather patrolling for

Enemy combatants. Anyway my unit has 12 days left before we go home and that's all I can

Think about. I can't wait to see her and all my family. The only reason I join the corps was because

I needed to support my family and every paycheck goes to them. I'm only a lance corporal so I don't

Much but it's all I got. I still remember the day I joined everyone was shocked and angry.

I was walking back into my apartment that Annabeth and I lived in felling proud that I had made the

commitment. "Why so happy seaweed brain" she asked with a smile on her face. "We don't have to

worry about money anymore "I explained because we had been fighting about money a lot lately. "Oh

yea why is that?" she wondered. "I have joined the few the proud the marines." I told her and her smile

faded it turned to a look of anger of betrayal. "Why! Why would you do that?" she started to cry. We

both knew a war was on and I would be sent. "Wise girl I did it for us! Can't you see that? I love you so

much I want us to grow old together and we both want a family and this will help us please

understand". She looked at me as if she had never seen me before. "But this Percy is taking that to an

extreme you'll be killed there is a war on. We are just kids, your 18 Percy you have our whole future

ahead of you we can have a family you don't need to do this".

"Annabeth I'm leaving for boot camp in two days and I do love you promise me you'll wait".

"Percy I will and I do love you". I could see the gears turning in her head I knew it would be ok.

2 days later I left for boot camp and she did wait and after boot and SOI and BRC she came to camp

Pendleton and we got an on base house together. Where she is waiting for me still while working as an

Architect. "Perce get some rest it's been a long day" said Underwood a PFC in my squad.

"Yea" said Beckendorf "we fought hard today only 11 days left.
