The ride to the MASH 4077 had been bumpy. She had been traveling all day long. When the jeep stopped at the front of the office of Lt. Colonel. Henry Blake. She got out of the jeep and accepted her suitcase from the jeep driver. She stood there watching as her fellow nurses retrieved their things. She hoped that Walter would be excited to see her. She adjusted the hat over her braid.

A man came out of the office and he was followed by her little brother, a clipboard in his hands. She grinned when she saw him, and then came to attention with the other nurses. A woman with her hair in a high bun came over to where they stood and she was introduced to them as Major Margaret Hoolahan. She saluted the Major. "At ease..." Hoolahan stated. She took the clip board from Radar and looked at the list. "First Lieutenant Casidy O'Reily?" She asked.

Casidy stood forward and saluted the Major. "Yes Ma'am." She said.

"Second Lieutenant Majorie Daniels?" The slight girl stood forward and saluted. "Yes, Ma'am."

"Second Lieutenant Pamela Williams?" The red head stood forward and saluted. "Yes, Ma'am."

With all of the women accounted for Major Hoolahan began pacing in front of the women.

"I am Major Hoolahan. This is Lt. Colonel Blake and Corporal O'Reily. Of the three of us, you will be taking the majority of your commands from me. You will be staying in a tent next to my own. Be sure to maintain proper etiquette while here at the 4077." She addressed all the nurses. "This is not an easy job. We assist the surgeons here. We are only three miles from the front, and see the most gruesome of the cases. If you are not able to keep your wits in our situation, people die. Please let me know if you are not able to handle this situation and I will transfer you out of here faster than you can say thank you."

She looked the nurses over again before leaving them with Corporal O'Reily and Colonel Blake.

Colonel Blake looked at the girls and smiled. It was a warm and friendly smile. "You ladies can call me Henry and this is Radar..." He gestured to himself and then to Radar.

Casidy smiled sweetly at Radar and then flung her arms around her brother. She was taller than he was by nearly a foot. She had blonde hair where his was brown. She looked nothing like him.

Hawkeye and Trapper walked through the middle of camp and noticed that a new batch of nurses had come in. They walked up just in time to see a pretty blond throw herself at Radar. They looked at each other before shrugging. They walked up next to Henry and Hawkeye elbowed him. "Whose that? Did he promise to send her back stateside?"

Henry looked over at Hawkeye and frowned. "That's Radar's sister. She's a new nurse here."

Trapper's mouth dropped. "She's a who?"

Hawkeye shook his head. "Radar's sister."

Trapper laughed. "No way does something like that got a sister that looks like that... Look at those legs." He eyed Casidy as he stood there. She was a pretty girl.

Casidy turned to the others from her conversation with Radar about things back at home. "Oh... how terribly rude of me." She saluted both the doctors and stood at the ready. Radar laughed at her, and shook his head. "They don't make you do that here. This is Hawkeye and Trapper. They're surgeons here at the 4077."

Casidy smiled at the two doctors. "I'm Casidy... Radar's sister." She held her hand out to the other doctors. Her sweetness made it evident that she was from the backwoods of Iowa.

Trapper took her hand and bent over it, pressing his lips to it. "Hiya. I'm Trapper. How did you end up with a brother like this one?" He said, pointing to Radar.

Casidy blushed as Trapper kissed her hand and smiled over at her brother. "Really lucky actually," she said. Radar beamed when she said that. "I better get my stuff into my tent I guess. I've been traveling all day... I'm kinda tired." She looked up at Trapper and smiled. "Maybe I'll see you at dinner." She looked at Hawkeye and nodded. "It was nice to meet you..." She spoke to them all. "All of you." She paused looking at Trapper again.

Trapper grinned. "Would you like for me to carry your suitcase? I know where your tent is," he offered.

Casidy smiled and nodded, holding out her suitcase to him. "I'd appreciate that." She walked next to him. He held out his free arm and she took it.

Radar looked at the two of them and then back at Hawkeye. "She can't go anywhere with him. He's not good for her. He's married!"

Hawkeye nodded his head, his sense of moral obligation was almost more than he could take, but Trapper hadn't done anything wrong, yet. He was just being friendly with Radar's sister. It wasn't like he had offered to deflower her right there on the ground. He thought for a moment and then shrugged, walking back to the swamp. He'd talk to Trapper later.

Radar sighed, and went back into the office to man the switchboard.
