It's on!

We arrived at boot camp, grabbed our stuff, and ran to the check-in desk. After all of us checked in we went to our bunk. I was in the same bunk with Jake and Liam. Brad and Devin were together. We had these two other guys-one from Florida(we called him Sunshine) and another guy from Kentucky(We called him Bluegrass) real original right?

We did a lot of drills (run, shoot blanks at targets, and many other things). They made us try out the different positions like Medic, Riflemen, Sniper, and Demolitions. I was the best at medic. It was my dream to be a medic. Brad was a dead eye so he was a sniper. Devin, was very fast so he was a runner. Liam was a demolitions and Jake was a riflemen. Sunshine was also a medic and Bluegrass was a Riflemen. Basic training was 9 weeks and on the last day we graduated. Since there was a war going on we got shipped the next day. We all were shipped too France. We arrived in France about 2 days after we were shipped out.

"Alright, the sergeant said, I'm going to assign all you to squads". "First squad: Van Gorden, Phelps, Phelps, Flanders, Mac Pherson, Bluegrass, and I'd like to introduce you to your new captain: Captain Delaney". We saluted him and he was ready to speak.

"This is not boot camp gentlemen." "This is war and it will be very tough." "So, get ready for the hardest year of your life."

We got our weapons,(I only got a 9mm) and we headed for our first patrol. I was kind of jealous from Brad and the rest. They had Thompson's and M1 Garandes. All's I got was a freakin' 9mm. A pistol! They were way better protected then me.

On our patrol we looked out for pretty much anything. Branches that wiggled, eyes peering out of holes, anything that looked out of the ordinary. There was another squad with us, just in case anything happened. I heard a sound like a gun being loaded and told everyone to duck. Boom! A sniper rifle had just been fired. I heard the sound of a bullet ripping through flesh and a groan.

"MEDIC DOWN!!!!" "MEDIC DOWN!!!" I heard. If it wasn't me that was hit it must have been…..

"Sunshine!" I tried to see where he had gotten hit and realized it was in the stomach. I put my hand down on his wound and applied pressure.

"I'm not gonna let this kid be killed the first day he comes out here" I thought. He wasn't screaming he was just kind of moaning.

"Your gonna be alright" I told him.

"At least I hope you are" I thought. He said to me: "Don't worry about it if I die, I'm cursed with bad luck anyway. He smiled and I smiled and then he stopped shaking and lay still.

"NO!!!!!!" I screamed. I whipped out my 9mm and ran where I thought the shot came from. I wasn't stupid so a swerved when I ran so he couldn't get me targeted. I saw his gun and shot three times near it. I heard a groan and saw a body fall out of a tree. It hit the ground with a loud thud and I ran over to see if he was dead. I hit him in the stomach three times and blood was coming out of his mouth. I looked at him and started too shake.

"WHAT ARE YOU INSANE!" Captain Delaney screamed to me. "We already lost one medic and you almost got killed!" I looked at him and walked away. Our squad cut the patrol short and we carried back Sunshine's body. Everyone was silent. He was starting to grow on me and now he was gone. Bluegrass patted me on the shoulder and said: "At least you tried buddy". Brad was silent so was Devin. Brad was usually yelling at Devin and telling him what to do and I found it pretty funny. Jake and Liam walked with me and would occasionally try to make me feel better but it wouldn't work. I was quiet for the rest of the night and didn't talk until the morning patrol.

The Next Patrol

"Alright men, Captain Delaney said, you all saw what happened yesterday so keep your heads down". We all walked with our heads down and the patrol happened like a normal patrol should. No one was killed or even shot at.

"Listen up men!" General Micaule said. "HQ has a new mission for us." We have a little town that we have almost taken over". "You guys, are going to take a couple trucks and take over those three buildings. It's only going to take two squads so Delaney and Hawking's squad: your up"!

Sorry for the last chapter those two spelling mistakes. Its supposed to be our country and unlike. Thanks r+r
