Ray makes some notes in his diary (or in this case, his Grandpa's diary). He's not sure whether his Grandpa's consciousness is still there with him, or not. And if not, when Ray's back to his time, will his Grandpa have the memory of what Ray's experienced during this body-snatcher episode? So just to make it safe, he writes letters to his Grandpa in the diary, detailing everything he did (which in Ray's time, this activity is so much gay).

Like this one.

Aldbourne, November 1943

Hi Gramp,

Okay, this is awkward. I'm your grandson. I was named after you, so my friends also call me Ray. I know it sounds crazy, but I'm in your body right now. Don't ask me why, because I'm equally confused. I don't want to tell you the detail about myself, because I don't want to alter the future or fate or whatever that is (at least, that what I know from movies). I just want to detail my experience during this "freak episode".

Well, let starts the introduction. I'm a Recon Marine and I'm from year 2003 (crazy, right?!). I was deployed in Iraq when I was hit with this huge rock, and when I woke up, I was in your body. I was hanging in a tree in my harness. Luz told me later, it was our first jump training in England. I had blown by harsh wind and stuck in a tree & got smack again in the head by a falling branch. Don't laugh at me, Gramp. It's hurt as hell. I had a concussion and spend two days in the hospital. I was considered fit to join field training four days later.

You know what? In just 1 week I was here, I can declare that Lieutenant Sobel's assholery level is un-fucking-believable (forgive my French). How can you survive that man in Toccoa? The dumb LT extraordinaire has fucked up in field training and somehow blame Winters for his own majestic dumbness. Well, actually, it's Luz & Percos's fault. They pranked Sobel and, to make long story short, I must watch my step so I didn't step on cow's dung that scattered around the base (maybe Luz will tell you the detail later). Although Sobel didn't have any evidence of who pranked him, he still tried to threaten Winters with martial court. Apparently, Winters had fed up with this bullshit (how appropriate terms, remembering the origin of all this fuss), and accept the martial court, much to Sobel's dismay.

Ranney gather all Easy's NCO, which means including me, and convinced us that we cannot go into the war with Sobel's in command. I didn't need to be convinced though; I immediately said "Count me in. This situation needs to be unfucked." The other NCO was not commenting my word choice of "unfucked", so I guess you already use this word in regular basis (I see we have a lot in common). In my time, I had different officer for training and for actual combat. Apparently, in this time, we didn't have the luxury. I know we will be slaughtered if Sobel lead us for the invasion. This meeting leads to the Easy Co fondly named as "The Sobel Mutiny". All NCO threatens to resign from our position, if Sobel still in command. Col. Sink got enrages and some NCO (including Ranney) was demoted or transferred. On the bright side, the NCOs were not lined into the wall to get shot for treason, Winters back to Easy and we got Lt. Meehan that much more capable than Sobel. Ooh - rah, Baby! (That's Marine's battle cry, for your information).

Well, that's all for now, because my hand hurts. I'll write again when I got time. Besides, I have to read your Army manuals. My favorite is the "Instructions for American Serviceman in Britain". That one is hilarious. I'm not sure Anglo-American relationship will improved with this manual.

Love,

Ray
