"Goooooooooood morning fags!" said the Lieutenant's voice. "We have oh so much more to do today! We will have so much fun!" Oh that infamous voice that will always haunt me. And the "fun" we had that day. We got to go rock climbing; Freeform rock climbing. One small private passed out from his fear of heights and fear of death. Well, I smirked, because Ben, Kevin, Quinn, and I loved rock climbing. I knew that my mom would kill me if she saw me up there. "Anybody who is afraid can turn around now." he said. Most everybody dropped back. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the fab four. I'm impressed." I smiled. "Well, the mountain isn't getting any smaller." A ways up the mountain my palms started to sweat a little. I was a little worried of the fall, but I figured that if I fell, the "pussies" down there would catch me. Ben was up ahead of us with the Lieutenant, but I was feeling confident. When we were almost at the top, I felt like I was going to shit in my pants, but I grit my teeth and made that final grab at the top. I felt like I was on top of the world. That was until I turned around and saw a trail to the bottom. I was pretty mad, but to be seen in the Lieutenant's eyes as a human being, well that was something that just couldn't be bought with money. "Good job ass fuckers." He said. I took it as a compliment nonetheless. "As your reward, you will get your weekend passes, and not have to do today's run." We looked at each other and smiled. "At ease" he said. Oh were we ever at ease. We got back and took our "special" magazines out, and caught up on some sleep that we had missed out on for so long.

The weekend was basic, that was just it. We jacked around and didn't do much else. But the captain called us in for briefing on our next mission. "This will be a private mission for you four. That rock climbing was a test, and after reviewing your battle records we knew you'd be perfect for this. We will take you on an amphibious tank to a secret German Bunker. You will attack the Germans from behind. When you do so, hang the American flag from the bunker and a small force will be sent to protect it. You will run to a drop point where you will be picked up and returned to base. Any questions?" He finished. "Yes" I said. "Why is it so important?" "Well." He replied. "You'll just have to find out when you kill the Nazis. See you in the A.M." He told us to get a good night's sleep, tomorrow was going to be a long day.
