Hi, my friends this is a sequel from Missions, I started write it a long time ago, and I hope you like it.
To write this story i had to made some research about the army to try discover how long takes to training new soldiers on USA, and of course i have to ask some questions to my father who has on the army and on a war, who happened a long time ago at the Portuguese Colonial War (1961/1974) the History of my country referred that as Overseas War.
He told me everything about the army life, the promotions and other informations, who helped me a lot to write this story!
I dedicate this story to my middle sister who as far away from my country!
I try do my best to wrote this story, so... read and have fun!
Sad news.
Make a year since Kate met the Autobots and the Decepticons and faced Cyclonus in battle, but since the last mission she had,, things became bored for her, the missions are very rare and due that, has to do paper work, and she hate it. One day the commander, call her, as usual she attends, when arrive to his office,
"My commander, I am here, what happened to require my presence?" Then he goes straight to the point soon as possible, some issues needs to be discussed, perhaps a mission? That's Kate hope, "Pull out a chair and sit down, we need to discuss some things, perhaps this is important for you Sergeant Malloy." She pulls a chair and sits down, waiting for the other start talking about the supposed issue, "Yes sir, Sir!"
Then things start to be discussed, such as new strategies, and certain problems that devastate the base, the discipline problems, due that the Commander is worried, so incumbent a new type of mission," Sergeant Malloy, you will train new recruits, I know you are very strict with your men, so want you to instil a bit of discipline, since there is not much to do! But I ask, you accept? "Kate looks at the Commander, very surprised,and smile, this is a new challenge for her, "With pleasure, Sir!" He is pleased with her answer,
"Good, you have total freedom, I have total confidence in you, Sergeant Malloy! You'll get the new recruits in the morning! You have the rest of the day.
You are dismissed, Sergeant. "She is very pleased by the actions of her superior,"Yes Sir!" Kate leave the Commander's office, with a big grin,"Nice... new recruits to teach, it will be my first time in training new soldiers."
When she arrives to her office starts to arrange her things, which doesn't take long only a few minutes, then leaves the office, she needs to tell the good news to her family about her new functions,"It means that you will recruit new soldiers, daughter?" She answered rubbing their hands, while grins, "Oh yes mom!" Her father encourages his daughter, he is in favour of military service, and due that he's very pleased with his daughter, as usual grins, he knows that his daughter can be a bit strict with certain people,"Show them who is in charge daughter,show the that the US army is no place for chicken, but for people with claw!" She starts to laugh, her father is always trilled about the army stuff, he remembers when he was a recruit, and Kate is aware of that, so give a pat on her father's shoulder,"Relax father, I will... and show them who I am!" And the joy is printed in the face of her father, he is so excited with the new functions of Kate,"Good my daughter!"
Her mother is satisfied but doesn't show, preferring to save that for another time, it is only interesting when she start to train the new men,"When you start daughter?" She answered, very seriously, "Tomorrow mother, Commander O'Neill gave me the rest of this day to relax!" The older woman is happy while do the following question,"And you come spend the afternoon with us Kate." Kate looks at her mother, putting her hand on the shoulder,"Yes, but also want to know news, I need to know how is my Uncle John!" The mother's expression changes completely and doesn't know how to tell to Kate the bad news about her uncle,"Well Kate, I don't know how I will say this, but your uncle is on hospital!" Kate is stunned by the news, was at least one month that she visited him and apparently he was in perfect health,"What?! How is it that? " Her mother hastens to calm down Kate who is visibly shaken,"Daughter... I know it is very hard, but life has this things!" But Kate wants to know more details,"Mom the last time I saw him, it wasn't long ago he was in perfect health, how you learned about his hospitalization?" Her mother goes straight to the point, "Daughter they diagnosed him with Liver cancer , is spread by the various body organs!" The news hit Kate like a bomb, she loses the speech as well their composure, and has to sit in a chair, this is too much
. John is one of her favourite uncles, and she spent some summers at his home that was near the beach, her mood wasn't the best,"Mom... how!" The other continues to tell while some tears threatens to fall down from her eyes,"Anyway, he has the days counted, the cancer was discovered too late!" Kate is visibly worried, especially with her aunt,"The aunt is so sad!" Her mother agrees with her,"Yes she is, both of them are searching for other doctor's opinion but the results are the same, the tests don't cheat, but she doesn't want to accept this in any way!" Kate mark its position,"Mother, uncle John was always a friend for the aunt, he never failed to her!
Mother sorry to hear this news, nothing I can do for the uncle, just give them the support that they need both! "Her mother nods,"Daughter your uncle would like to hear that, you can be military but got a big heart!" Kate is visibly troubled by the recent news but asks"Please mother, keep me informed about the health state of uncle John, I beg you!" Her mother nods,"You can stay calm my daughter!" Kate looks at her both parents, they look sad due these news, but outlines a small smile,"Thank you!" The rest of the afternoon is spent talking about other things, mainly about her uncle, later she returns to the headquarters, preparing the things for the next day.

The next day Kate is nearby the recruits barracks, and in front of them are the civilians with the bags on their side, then begin to watch them while do her presentation,"Good morning recruits, I am Sgt. Malloy, I will teach you to be men of claw, not chickens, I will turn you into killing machines! Your life will change radically, and when I say that is because it will, so when before we begin, you will be well presentable, do you understand? I do not want a sloppy soldier in my platoon!
So let 's move your soft butts from your spots towards your barracks., tomorrow I want all of you up and ready at 6 am, with everything clean!" The others look at her, "Yes!" Kate isn't very satisfied, and said, "I did not hear well! When I speak to you, all of you had to say, "YES SIR, SGT. MALLOY "understood? The recruits respond in unison, loudly,"Yes sir, Sgt. Malloy! "She smiles walking along the row of recruits, "That's better. If all of you doesn't address me properly , the punishment will be 30 push-ups understood? "And she listen again,"Yes sir, Sgt. Malloy! "She smiled, telling them,"Lets move fast." The recruits went out there, going direct to the barber, women were not necessary, because they bound the hair with a rubber band.
At 6am in the morning all were up and ready, Kate entered seeing them alongside the berths,"Nice, now let's start the day with a beautiful jogging!" And she hears the recruits all excited,"Yes sir, Sgt. Malloy! "She shouted to them,"Let's move, fast!" Everyone came out from there, starting to run out the open field for two hours, Kate went ahead to run. At the end of the day everyone was exhausted going back to the barracks, on the other hand Kate was in office to make reports, shortly after O'Neill appears,"May I come in Sgt. Malloy? "Kate invited him to enter while salutes him,"Yes sir,commander Sir!" He takes a chair and sits asking,"So how was the first day?" She answered serving a coffee to the commander,"Not bad, still have much to learn, but are on track commander O'Neill!" It is made a very important question,"Good, they are undisciplined?" She crosses her arms over her chest and look at the commander, giggling,"That, commander will do with time! If bad behaviour appears I will dealing with that myself!"
O'Neill looks at Kate, and sees in it a very efficient military, but one of the best of that base, and fully endorses what she had just said a moment ago,"Good Sgt. Malloy, I trust in your wisdom! "But he also notes that she has a very sad mood, there was something who was worried about , then he hopes that what she speak, which not delay too long,"Commander, I need to talk to you, this is is a very difficult issue for me," He looks at Kate and feels that something is not right, "What is happening Sgt? " She starts to speak without looking at the patent, speaking with the commander as a friend,"It's my uncle, John ...the doctors discovered that he has Liver Cancer, he has only a few moths to live." O'Neill notice Kate's eyes, has a tear threaten to fall, knowing that she has a great esteem for him and it is very difficult to tell these things to a stranger who isn't nothing to her, but he understands her,"I am sorry to know that bad news, if you need, you can count on me!" She looks at him, very surprised, she didn't know this side of O'Neill,"I appreciate your gesture!" But he is very surprised it has gone to talk with him, and it is not natural, because Kate always knew hide their particular problems, but this one is different.
He decides change of subject,the issue now is about the recruiting,"Sergeant Malloy, I want you to report every week, all about the performance of all recruits, and their conduct and behaviour!" She nods,while salutes him,"You can rest Sir, you have the first report in Friday at 6 pm!" The commander O' Neill leave Kate with her work.

The days went by and the new recruits adjusted to the training rhythm and Kate is very strict with them, in all wants all of them well prepared for future conflicts in abroad. One day while they are in a break, one of the recruits asked her with a mist of curiosity and admiration ,"Sorry Sgt. Malloy, it is true that you engaged a Decepticon alone , and escaped unharmed? "She was sipping a hot cocoa, and suddenly stop doing so, looking for whom had made a question,"Yes, I did Kirk!" He is anxious to know the details of everything,"How is that the sergeant managed to defeat him?" She is not shy to tell the details of such a feat,
"Well I hit him in two vital points." She pointed to Kirk the vital places in her knees and arms, "Well, I hit him in his knee and arm joints, I used my knives, cut the wiring on these places, and he fell down. Despite the size difference I got him!" Kirk shot,"For a normal person is completely impossible!" Kate looks at him smiling, "Kirk ... you are right I am a normal person, a woman. But I was smarter than him!" Kirk is speechless, "Wow..."
She get up, followed by the rest of them, "Now we will train the fight with side arms, who wants to be the first?" All are a little intimidated, no one wants to be the first as expected, Kate points to one of the girls of the group:
"Mary, come here!" Reluctantly Mary went to Kate who waits , when approached Kate begins to explain the various techniques exemplifying on the other girl, and the other providing much attention to what was said and the movements, when the explanation ends,"Now you try to do it!" It was what everyone did, and Kate is very pleased with the progress of them. That day was very hard for everyone, because the drills were also.
So what do you think about the beginning hmm!?
I appreciate constructive reviews, thank you very much.
