5 Months Earlier Aboard U.S.S Trinity | Tankery Operations area

"Staff Sergeant Riley, you and your crew are being transferred along with several other non tankery students to the H.M.S Ark Royal. you are to speak to the commanding officer of the tankery club there and ask her about her rules and such am I understood Staff Sergeant!?"

"Understood sir, do we leave today or will we have a day for our families and to pack up gear and the tank that we're going to be bringing sir?"

"Of course, I take it you'll want to see your family and your crew before you are sent off to the Ark Royal, dismissed Staff Sergeant."

With a salute, Riley turned around and headed for the Jeep behind him, hoping into the passenger's seat and nodding to the driver as they headed off back to the Dorm Building for the night. Riley awoke at around 0700 going about his morning tasks and requesting for a jeep to take him into the city so he could pack up his clothes and say goodbye to his family before heading to the Ark Royal. The jeep picked him up at around 0730 and he headed into the city arriving at his house at about 0745 and exiting the jeep motioning for the driver to wait for him.

"Mom, Dad! I need to tell you guy something I can meet you in the living room after I finish packing the things I need so, I'll be out in about 5 or 7 minutes!"

With that Riley headed into his room grabbing several pairs of off-duty clothes and some of his more valued items like his Zippo Lighter and Knife he got from his grandfather before he passed away. Riley finished packing and headed downstairs to talk to his parents about his trip to the Ark Royal.

"Right, what did you need to talk to us about Riley, did you get hurt in tankery or worse… did you get expelled?"

"No mom, I've been transferred to a Japanese school ship for 5 months as part of an exchange program, we're going to H.M.S Ark Royal if you want to send mail."

His mom pursed her lips, concerned for her little boys safety and more-so the fact he was going to one of the japanese all girl schools which could end badly for him, but she simply accepted nothing she would say could change her son's mind and nodded.

"Of course, be sure to keep in touch with us, alright?"

"Yes mom, I need to get going though… whatever tank they're requiring us to bring is going to be a pain to ship to the Ark Royal."

And with that Riley stepped out, shouldering his duffle bag as he climbed into the jeep, motioning the driver to head back to the Tankery Dorms. Riley grabbed his bag and headed off towards the Tankery Bay, where the tank that they were going to be shipped out with was held and also, where his crew was going to be. When Riley arrived he saw his crew already at work making sure the tank was in working order, upon closer inspection he saw it was a Comet A34 british cruiser.

"Attention! Crew front and center, come on now I don't have all day we move out in an hour, lets go!"

The four other men lined up, arms raised in salute as Riley paced back and forth as he studied his crew before bursting out laughing.

"Oh god, you guys looked so scared, come on now no need for that whats the status of the Comet gents?"

All four of the boys tried to answer at once, not exactly in an orderly fashion but that's what made the crew different. The crew of Comet 137 consisted of the 5 of them including Riley, the rest of them Benn, Matthew, Lukas, and Chris were all different.

"Alright Benn, what's the status of the comet, we good to go?"

"Yes sir, once we arrive at the Ark Royal we can roll out almost immediately, I can take the tank and the rest of us to their tankery area, while you and Lukas take the jeep and meet with their command officer."

"Sounds like a plan, Benn, Matt, and Chris you'll follow behind us once we get on the Ark Royal, I'm sure she'll have files on us so just, be on your best behavior alright?"

"Yes sir!"

"Alright, you're dismissed, let's get that comet on the move boys, Lukas you're with me, I'll drive we've got a deadline to meet and I don't intend to be late."

With that the crew of the Comet moved out, heading towards the freighter that would bring them to the Ark Royal. They arrived at 1200 boarding the freighter and securing down both the comet and jeep before heading towards their quarters heading to sleep while waiting for the ship to take them to their new home.

Thanks for those reviews, this is my first fanfiction and I thank you for your support. As for the M rating I've never written one before, so I don't think I'm going to do that in my first story maybe a later story but for now, I don't see it as a definite possibility.
