"Okay, so we have contacts up on the hill and we have the low ground so that's not good," The squad leader, Jason "Old Man" Rivers, began to explain. He got the nickname because he was thirty years old and the oldest in the platoon. They were now two weeks into black phase and out doing a field training exercise. It was a four way battle for control of the small town in the center. But this hill had a small outpost and a good viewpoint over the town. "We'll have to do some fancy bullshit so we can take the hill and take out fourth platoon." The squad leader paused as if contemplating. "Hiccup," He began only to be interrupted by Hiccup.

"I told you guys NOT to call me that when we were talking about old nicknames," Hiccup complained.

"Hey man. Its fine. Its an interesting nickname. Fun to use," he reasoned back. Hiccup just let out a groan in response. "Anyway, how good are you with your SAW Hiccup?"

Hiccup looked down to his weapon the back to the leader. "Good enough, why?" Hiccup asked him.

"Okay. I want you to take Thugg and run over to that fallen tree over there and there," he said pointing at a decent sized called log about thirty feet away. "And set up your bipod and lay down fire up the hill towards their position. Thuggory will be there to provide cover if you need to reload," he finished explaining.

"Okay. Well what will the rest of you all be doing?" Thuggory asked.

"Well why you two distract them at the south side us six will move around to the north east side and flank them. Hopefully they'll be to distracted by you guys to even notice us," he said moving his arms around as if displaying the motions they will undertake. "You guys got that?" Hiccup just nodded and Thuggory smiled. "Okay and move," he said as Hiccup and Thuggory got up and moved to the log as they went the opposite direction.

As Hiccup and Thuggory reached the log, Hiccup deployed his bipod and rested it on top of the log. He then looked down the sights and saw a member of forth platoon standing there not paying much attention. Hiccup looked over to Thuggory and sighed. "I hope they don't take long," Hiccup said ans Thuggory nodded in agreement. "Well let's get loud," Hiccup said as he pulled the trigger. The simulation ammo flew out of the gun and hit the guy standing there. He screamed out in pain as the wax bullet hit him in the bicep. Just then a bunch of yelling was heard atop the hill as several others came running over to see what was going on.

As they arrived Hiccup pulled the trigger again and more rounds fired from the SAW. He was quickly spotted by the guys atop the hill and some began to fire back. A wax bullet hit the log next to him but Hiccup kept shooting, trying to give his team enough time to reach the top of the hill. After a minute or two of ducking and firing, other shots were heard from atop the hill and soon all gunshots stoped. A figure appeared where Hiccup was shooting and waved to him shouting. "Its all clear. Come on up Hiccup!" He yelled down at the pair.

Hiccup and Thuggory got up from their position and lighting jogged up the hill. When they got there the platoon leader was smiling. "You did good Hiccup," He said happily.

"Thanks Old Man," Hiccup said back to him smiling. Hiccup rejoined his team in their small celebration of taking the hill.

THREE WEEKS LATER

Today was the day everyone was waiting for. Today was the day before graduation. The day they got their blue chords, symbolizing that they are infantry. It was also a 24 hour pass so they could hang out with their friends and family that came to watch. Everyone was excited to see their families. They were all talking about it. Thuggory looked over to Hiccup watching him put on the jacket of his dress blues. He got up and walked to him. "So Hiccup, today's the day. We become soldiers today's," Thuggory happily exclaimed.

Hiccup let out a chuckle and smiled. "Well Thugg. Acctually tomorrow's the day. Were just getting are blue chords today. We graduate tomorrow." Hiccup said in a knowing tone.

"Blah blah blah. You know what I mean dude," Thuggory said. "So what are you gonna do today with your pass?"

Hiccup let out another sigh as he adjusted his tie so it was just right. "I don't know. We get our phones so I'll probably just come back here and watch YouTube or something. Maybe go to PX," Hiccup said with shrug.

"You know you're more than welcome to hang out with me and my family, right dude," Thuggory said as he rested his shoulder against a locker. "I mean you're a brother to me man."

"Yeah. But I don't want to intrude on your time with your family." Hiccup reasoned as he looked himself over in the locker mirror.

"If you say so, but come one. Lets head on down and get ready. We only have like five more minutes," Thuggory said as he started walking towards the door. Hiccup follows him and they went down the steps to the CTA.

After the ceremony everyone was either clearing out to go hang out with their families or standing around talking to each other with their families in tow. Hiccup just stood there and looked around before deciding to go back inside. When he got back inside he began to change back into his ACUs. As he finished changing, his Drill Sergeant came in. "At ease," Hiccup said as he. Went to parade rest. The drill sergeant looked over to him with a questioning look.

"Why aren't you with your family Haddock?" He asked as he walked up to him.

"My um, my family isn't here," Hiccup responded back sounding nervous.

"Well why not?" Drill Sergeant Garcia asked back to him.

"Well my dad doesn't know I'm here, and my uncle and cousin don't either," Hiccup explained.

Drill Sergeant Garcia let out a sigh. "Well why didn't you tell them?"

"Beacuse. Non of them really care. My dad never gave me the time of day and tried to force me into the family business and my cousin picked on me constantly. At family thanksgiving at my uncle's he laughed when my cousin picked on me," Hiccup explained as he looked down to the ground.

"Oh. I see," He said as looked at the boy. "Well my wife is currently deployed, so I was just gonna chill hear and watch some movies. You're welcome to join," DS Garcia said.

"Wait. What?" Hiccup said with a confused look. "I thought..."

"We're not all heartless Asshole Haddock. Now come on. We'll use the tv in the office," he said to Hiccup with a laugh.

The rest of the day was spent watching movies the office. It felt weird to Hiccup to be sitting and watching movies with his Drill Sergeant but he had to admit it was pretty cool.

It was the next day after graduation and everyone was called back to the barracks to receive their orders before deciding what to do next. When Hiccup received his orders he looked down a read them. As he read them he took note on some of the things in them. He was going to be part of the Third Infantry Division stationed here at Fort Benning. He read some more and paused over a line. It made his eyes widen and his hands start to shake. It said "the Third Infantry Division is to be deployed to Afghanistan in the next month, giving every member in the unit just enough time to get properly prepared for deployment." Hiccup reread the line at least ten times. In one month Hiccup would be in Afghanistan. He'll be in a war zone. He was snapped from his thoughts as Thuggory came walking over.

"Dude, I'm getting deployed," he said to Hiccup quietly.

Hiccup looked over to Thuggory before speaking. "Me too," he said back. Hiccup went and sat against his locker. "Looks,like we don't get to go home," Hiccup began. "It says report to unit immediately."

Thuggory sighed "yeah. Shitty luck," he said. "Well we best get packing," he said as he began to open his locker.

Hiccup got up and began to open his locker as well. He pulled out his duffel bag and began to pack all of things. "Yeah. I hope I'm for this," Hiccup said to himself.

After they were both finished packing, Thuggory looked over to hiccup. "Hey I'm gonna go tell my parents goodbye. I forgot to do that. They probably think we got in trouble," Thuggory said with a chuckle.

Hiccup chuckled with him and smiled. "Okay man. You do that. Take your time," he said as he sat down. As he sat there he began to think about what would happen now. He was being sent over to an active was zone and he was infantry. One of the guys trained to fight. He wondered if he would make it back home. He hoped. Hiccup knew that deep down he did miss his dad, and he wanted to eventually go home and tell him what he's been doing. But now, he didn't know if that would be possible.
