A Marines' Life: Day 1
Water splashed as the new recruits fell out of the buses and into the training camp.
"All right you maggots!" the Commanding Drill Instructor screamed. "In these next 9 weeks, we're going to change you from mommy's boys, to strong, intelligent, disciplined troops!" "YES SIR!" the new recruits screamed in unison, still struggling to stand from sitting down so long.
"These are your schedules for the next 9 weeks!"
A Drill Instructor remarkably looked at one young man, and saw that he had a little "spark of discipline" and asked him a question. "First, what's your name? Second what's your life-long dream soldier?" The DI asked "Sir! My name is Joseph Lombard!
It's been to join the marines and become at least a Gunnery Sergeant Sir!" Roared the recruit nervous from the inspection. "That's gonna take training and hard work you know right?
I still hope you the best of luck in following your dream." The DI told the new recruit. "ALL RIGHT! MEN WE ARE GOING TO SPLIT YOU UP INTO TEAMS TO SEE WHO IS WORTHY OF BECOMING A LEADER AND WHO GETS TOP HONORS!"
The Command Drill Instructor said over the PA of the camp. There were 20 teams and 4 people in each group. One group, dubbed Team Wolf, was the most jumbled group and had the best leadership.
Their members are Linda, Aaron, and Jason. Their leader, who is Joseph, makes sure that everyone hones their skill to their best. Linda, their best marksman, has an AMS-2023 sniper rifle fitted with a "cradler", a sniper scope that has hooks that snap on to the rifle. Jason, their best close combatant, practices fighting all three of his mates on a 3 on 1 match and always wins. Aaron, their best sneaker, is a person who usually sneaks everywhere you bet he isn't at. Joseph, he's the best leader and is a very motivational person, also, he is the best in his squad with the M24F. The M24F, a larger but lighter version of the M16, also much stronger.
"WE ARE GOING TO TEST YOUR STRENGTH! YOU ARE ALL GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN A DRILL BUT ONLY IN FACT, NOT ALL WILL MAKE IT TO GRADUATION DAY."
The recruits nodded and headed to the field where we will see.
