SONG: NUMB

BY: LINKIN PARK

Today was the day I went to see my father better known as "Godfather". I pulled into base and got out I hugged my father and he smiled and pulled away.

"Godfather": Sam its good to see you, how is your mother.

Sam: she is fine daddy where will I be taking over I expect you have me some good marines to work with

"Godfather": yes you will be over SECOND PLATOON OF THE FIRST RECONNAISSSANCE BATTALION'S BRAVO COMPANY you will be above the "ICEMAN" as we call him his name is Brad and there is one you know and one you will not like there names are Sergeant Rudy Reyes and Corporal Jason Lilley, Lilley is a player and a vulgar man in my book watch out for him Sam.

Sam: Really my Rudy buddy is here

"Godfather": yes please try to be nice Samantha

Sam: yes sir

And like that I saluted my father and headed of to there tent when I got half way there I was greeted by the iceman as they called him he had not yet earned me calling him that so I addressed him they way I used to address my female cadets

Sam: Sgt. Colbert thank you for meeting me half way I would like to stand here for a few minutes and I would like Sgt. Rudy Reyes to meet me out here in the next three minutes or they will be consciences on the entire platoon thank you, you are dismissed to bring him to me

I saw him leave and not a minute and half later Rudy appeared in front of me with wide eyes

Rudy: Ma'am you called for me I am here at your service

Sam: oh Rudy you made it through drill and became what I always knew you would become

He smiled at me and asked with his eyes to hug me

Sam: come here solider give me a damn hug

He hugged me

Sam(still in the hug): will solider I see you kept your word not to fail on your drill sergeant thank you for not lying to me now release me

He let go I stepped away from him and he saluted me

Rudy: what should I call you Ma'am

Sam: Sgt. Maj. Ferrando

He gulped

Sam: that's right he's my father and don't question me now lead me to the tent

Once we got to the tent I waited out side

Sgt. Colbert: Everyone stand, your commander has arrived

I walked into the tent and I saw everyone salute me

I smiled

Sam: carry on

Everyone resumed there previous activities

Sam: I need to speak with (looks at the list provided to her of the marine's names) corporal Jason Lilley now!

My voice was full authority

I saw a man gulp and step in front of me he had blonde hair and blue eyes they were light blue and so beautiful his face was handsome and I could tell from his stance he was very well built and strong I smiled lightly I knew what I would do now

Sam: are you corporal Jason Lilley?

Cpl. Lilley: yes Ma'am I am

Sam: very good you will be my personal lap dog under my time here from my understanding your ass needs work

Everyone was laughing with one raise of my hand they silenced

Sam: everyone Attention

They stood in attention

Sam: I need four strong marines with good ears and big arms now

As soon as I said it there was a line in front of me

Sam: you what is your name Marine

I said it pointing at a marine that looked to be a Mexican

Sgt. Espera : My name is Sgt. Espera

He said looking timid I smiled

Sam: I'll use you

He walked to stand behind me

I pointed to another marine

Sam: Name marine

He smiled timidly

Cpl. Garza: my name is Corporal Gabe Garza

Sam: well good you two

I pointed to Lilley and then to Rudy

Sam: you four follow me all you other you are to clean up this tent and the back is to have another small tent built on to it cut a door hole and put the tent up to the tent and make it nice or else I would like this tent to be spotless when I return or so help me I will assign you jobs far worse Cpl. Lilley's

They all saluted me and I walked out of the tent with the four marines

Sam: you will be helping me get my stuff from my humvee

They all nodded as a answer

Sam: I didn't hear you marines

All: Ma'am Yes Ma'am

I walked up to my humvee and opened the back they all grabbed stuff I grabbed six bags and put them on

Sam: now lets see if your brothers in arms can do what they are told

We walked back to the tent and it looked bigger I noticed another tent connected to the tent and it was perfect for me I walked into the tent and everyone was cleaning the tent it was close to spotless I smiled five minutes it was spotless

Sam: MARINES

Everyone stood in attention

Sam: my tent please

They walked me to the back tent it was huge for me there was a green huge blanket laid on the ground and it was soft I smiled and walked further I saw a bed laid out and a cover over it with a pillow

Sam: very good marines dismissed now you marines set my shit down and you are dismissed all but you Lilley

They all left but him

Sam: very good you are listening to orders now I need your help unpacking hand me a bag at a time

I sat my stuff by the door all but my bag of bras panties and swim suits I sat it beside my bed and then called Rudy into my tent

Sam: I need 18 boxes now

He brought the boxes to my tent

Sam: thank you Rudy

He walked out and I walked over to the boxes and told Jason Lilley to fix everything in the boxes
