I do not own the characters of Glee. They rightfully belong to Ryan Murphy. I only own this idea. Reviews are appreciated. And, can somebody explain to me what OOC stands for?

"Alright, guys and girls! Take a seat! We've got pictures from Sam and even a video that he sent to show you!", explained Mr. Shuester as he tried to settle down his former Glee Club members and the present members. It had been nearly a week since the last video call from their blonde member so they were eager to see the pictures and see how he's been doing. "How long has Sam been gone now?", asked Finn as he sat down in the front row. "About 3 weeks now. He's in the final stage of his training, meaning he's working in weaponry and small workshops and team building exercises that will get him ready for actual combat.", explained Mr. Shuester as he plugged in the computer to the projector. "Let's see how much Trouty Mouth has changed.", said Santana as she sat down beside Brittany, a teasing smile on her face. "Come on, Mr. Shuester! We wanna see!", said Ryder from his seat beside Jake and Kitty. "I'm working on it. I'm working on it. These wires are tangled.", explained their Teacher as he finished hooking up all of the wires.

The screen flickered a bit before a row of pictures popped up, Mr. Shuester reached over and clicked on the first one. The caption below it read: Buzz Cut. It showed their blonde Glee Club member sitting in a barber's chair as he had his long hair cut shorter than before. "He looks so different.", exclaimed Brittany as her eyes widened in shock. "All his long hair.", said Marley with a huge smile on her face. Their Teacher clicked over onto the second picture and the caption read: We convinced one of the Senior Marines to take this for us. Me and all the guys. It showed Sam, Craylinn, Snake, Shiloh, and all of the other guys standing in a rows in the main hall of the building. They were all in full uniform as if they has just returned from practicing their marching. "Damn, there's a lot of guy that were recruited.", said Finn as he looked at the picture on the screen. "They're defending our country. I have a lot of faith in him.", explained Rachel as she wiped her eyes. "Sam looks like he got bigger, muscle wise.", said Puck as he looked at the picture with wide eyes. "You'll see more of him in the video.", promised Mr. Shuester as he clicked onto the next photo.

The caption below the photo read: The damn pool challenge. It showed the blonde as he was trying to float and swim on his back with full gear on. The look of pure terror on his face was seen as he tried to keep himself above the water. "That looks really hard.", said Tina as she looked at the photo. "Remind me to teach Sam how to swim when he comes back.", added in Mike with slight guilt in his eyes. "Are there any more pictures, Mr. Shuester?", asked Jake as he twisted around in his seat again. "I hope there's more.", said Unique with an excited smile on her face. "There are no more pictures, but we still have a video to watch.", said Mr. Shuester as he clicked on the red 'x' to get out of the one screen, before he pulled up the video player. "Where is Sam right now? He didn't get deployed yet, did he?", asked Mercedes nervously. "No, he's still at the base to finish training.", explained their Teacher. "I can't believe he's really doing this.", whispered Quinn as she ran a hand through her hair. "He'll be fine, Q. He'll come home.", promised Artie as he wheeled over to the girl, placing his hand on her knee.

They all watched as the screen shook a bit before it came into focus, showing Sam sitting on one of the bunks as he took apart his assault rifle. "Hey, everybody! I can't see you but I know you can see me. I'm supposed to be behind the camera to give you all a tour, but Craylinn has it now so I can clean my gun before we head to the gun range.", explained the blonde as he wiped down the barrel. They all watched as the camera moved and turned until it facing Craylinn's face, a sneaky grin on his lips. "Hey, everybody. Looks like I'll be the camera man for a while, at least until Shadow finishes his weapon off. Dude, don't point that at me!", explained the full uniformed recruit as he turned the camera back to face the blonde, who was in fact pointing the rifle at him. "Relax, it isn't loaded. I need to get a feel for it for when we take on our first survival training mission.", explained Sam as he shifted the gun on his shoulder, peering into the scope. "You'll get plenty of time to do that. Put it away! We're being diploid as soon as we finish our training and our survival missions.", explained Craylinn as he zoomed in on the blonde, who was now placing the rifle back into the case on the bunk.

"Hand it over, Cray. Time that I gave the New Directions a tour of where I've been for the past 3 weeks.", explained Sam as he got up off of the bunk, standing to his full height. Everybody in the choir room gasped when they saw how much their blonde has changed, he was a few inches taller and bigger in muscle. "Has he ever changed.", whispered Kurt in shock as he looked at the video screen. "That's our Sam, a proud Marine.", said Blaine with tears in his eyes as he looked at his best friend on the screen. "It's so hot out here. We went from AC to 90 degrees, you're lucky I like you so much that I'm coming out here with you.", whined Craylinn as he walked beside his friend. "You love me and you know it. Alright, you already saw the main housing unit of the main house. We're heading towards the mass hall where we eat every day, I'm betting its pretty crowded right now. Please don't let there a be a Drill Instructor in there.", explained Sam as he used his boot covered foot to open the door, walking in with Craylinn. As he predicted it was crowded with many Marine recruits and even some Senior Marines, too.

"Us Marine recruits are in the lighter camo while the Senior Marines are the ones in the darker camo with bullet proof vests on below their over shirts. They're also a lot bigger than us. I'm not seeing any Drill Instructors in here so we're getting off easy with this.", explained the boy behind the camera as he moved it around to give them all a full look of the mess hall. Beside him, Craylinn put two fingers in his mouth and let out a high pitched whistle, making everybody in the room freeze. "These recruits are asking that you give a shout out to the New Directions back home for our blonde recruit here behind the camera.", explained Craylinn as he smiled at the other recruits and Senior Marines. One of the Senior Marines, Trevor, stood up from his seat and placed his hands behind his back. "All recruits in Division 2564! Rise!", ordered Trevor as he tightened his stance. Everybody in the mess hall rose up from their seats and took to the same stance as the Senior Marine. "You know I'm kidding, right? Just say 'hi'.", explained Trevor with a smile on his face as he waved at the camera.

Every recruit in the room waved at the camera and said a chorus of 'hi' to him. "This recruit thanks you kindly.", said Sam as he smiled at them all. They both waved at everybody before walking out of the mass hall and back into the smoldering heat that was outside. They got across the grass to one of the O-Course's when the blonde stopped walking and placed a finger to his lips. "Take the camera, Cray.", whispered the blonde teen as he handed the other the camera. "What did you hear?", asked Craylinn in confusion as he looked around. "16 paces to the left, 18 forward, round the corner. We're being watched.", explained Sam as he began to follow the paces he said to the target. "You're all going to see some hand-to-hand combat.", explained Craylinn as he zoomed in the camera to follow the blonde teen. "Oh, this can't be good.", said Mr. Shuester anxiously. "Nothing like a training session in a video.", said Craylinn as he watched as the man behind the corner of the wall burst from his hiding spot as tackled the blonde.

Sam easily kicked the guy off and recognized him as one of the Junior Marines that we're called in. The Marine continued to throw punches and kicks at the teen as fast as he could, using the boy's skills against him. The blonde blocked each punch and kick from the advancing Marine, quickly grabbing one of the other man's arms and quickly twisting his wrist and twisting the arm in another direction behind his back. The Marine was disabled in one way, but was fully down when Sam caught him in the small of his back with his boot and flipped him to the ground. The Junior Marine landed with a thud on the ground, the air bursting out of his lungs. They both looked at each other panting, before the blonde reached down and offered the Marine his hand, helping him back onto his feet. "Holy.", said Finn in shock. "Shit.", finished Puck as he too matched the look of pure shock.
