anyway enjoy and review please, please
Camp McKall May 1943
I watched as Lieutenant Winters walked into the barrack he shared with his friend and fellow officer Lewis Nixon, from Nixon, New Jersey.
I was sitting on his bed watching Nixon was packing his bags, after a year with putting up with Sobel and his tyranny, Nixon had requested a transfer to battalion and luck would have it, there was an open position as Battalion S2.
Another officer walked into the barrack, the new Easy 1st platoon lieutenant rumored said his name was Harry Welsh, fresh out of OCS, he had been transferred from the 504th of the 82nd airborne, to the 506th, when Welsh looked at me i looked away and got back to playing with my bracelet.
Winter nodded to the new officer and looked at his friend "So you are finally moving up to your chums at battalion staff"
"Yeah, they need some of the Nixon genius op there" Nixon replied
The new lieutenant Harry Welsh looked at the two men and then motioned towards me indicating if I could be trusted, Nixon indicating I was ok "I hear a lot of rumblings"
"Yeah Sobel, he gets jumpy and then you get killed" Nixon replied
Winters looked at the two men "If we are going to discuss this, let's do it among our self"
I noticed Sobel standing at the door to the hut and jumped to attention, Sobel gave the three officers a cold stare "1st platoon Ready" Sobel asked, he noticed me and scowled, Sobel hated me fiercely, hated the fact that Sink had made me an NCO.
"Ready and information, ready to move out" Winters told Sobel
Sobel gave the three officers one last glare scowled at me once more and walked out of the hut.
The men let out a collective mumble and Nixon returned to his packing.
Winters up at me "are you ok"
I knew I always surprised him, my ablity to smile no matter what, even thru all the crap Sobel had put them thru, I just smiled and kept the company's morale up.
"The men are ready to move out, and I am good as always" I blushed
"Very well, move them out" Winters told me
I didn't hear him my eyes was fixed on the new lieutenant. Winters turned and looked at Welsh, and noticed the lieutenant had a goofy smile on his face. I smiled back and when I didn't move Winters got a little flustered
"Sergeant Christensen? Sergeant dismissed" Winters told me again I snapped out of it Yeah Welsh meant trouble for me
I snapped out it, saluted the officers and walked away, after about a hundred yards I turned and looked over her shoulder, and shot the officers my million dollar smile.
When Talbert discovered my secret at Toccoa most of the men had been shocked after a while a few tried to hit on me, but then I was intergrated into the company and I accumulated 150 older brothers.
I noticed Winters looked at Welsh and I heard him say "Don't even think about it"
Welsh looked at Winters "I wouldn't dream of it"
Winters just shook his head and smiled.
…..
I walked back to first platoon, Sink promoted me to platoon sergeant at Fort Benning, when we lost our sergeant to battalion staff.
I kneb the men was waiting to get the order, to move out and get on the train. Liebgott, Cobb and Shifty was sitting and talking about Sobel I heard one of Them say "The way I see it, either the Krauts get him or one of us is"
Liebgott noticed his favorite platoon sergeant approach them and smiled "Well, I am always fumbling with grenades, or maybe Chris will take care of him for us, right Sarge?"
Shifty looked at the two men "Well the army must have put him in charge for reason"
"Yeah, cause the army wouldn't make a mistake, right Shift?" I said. I liked Shifty but he had somethings to learn about the Army
"What's the word Sarge" Liebgott asked
"Well, we have a new lieutenant and we are moving out" I sat down next to Liebgott and looked around for my twin brother Pat Christenson
Pat was the platoon machine gunner. I love my brother more than anything in the world and the thought of him going off to join the airborne without me, just didn't sit right with me, so I bribed a doctor and cut my hair and enlisted in airborne.
My cover as a man only lasted two weeks beforemy usual partner in Crime Floyd Talbert, discovered the truth.
Camp Toccoa June 1942
"Hey Christenson, are you about done in here? I swear it tales you longer than a broad to get ready" Talbert threw open the door to the barrack which housed first platoon.
"Shit" Talbert's mouth dropped open, when he saw his best friend was a woman and not a man
"Fuck, god damn Tab, have you ever hurt of knocking?" I hurried up and covered myself, this was bad, so bad. Albert was my absolute best friend in the Company and the thought of loosing hvis friendship killed me
The whole Company actually had passes to go into town for the dance Saturday night and I had lurked around, waiting for the men to leave the barrack, so I could change. I had become an Expert in quick change of clothes. This time I hadn't been quick enough and poor Talbert had walked in on me changing into a button up shirt, and there had been no hiding I was in fact a woman.
Talbert looked at me "What…why…how?" was all he could say
"Easy, bribe a doctor and have your brother here to cover for you during the physicals" I dressed and walked over and patted Talbert on the cheek, "relax, everything is fine, I am still the same person I was before you walked in here 5 minutes ago, just with breasts"
Talbert was shocked, he didn't know if could keep this quiet, a woman in the paratroopers? he wasn't sure, but for tonight he would pretend everything was fine.
The night out and about town turned into a crazy one, Talbert limited me to two drinks, and I was not a happy camper, but I couldn't convince the bartender to serve me any more than my limit.
At one point during the evening Me and Pat was dancing, which wasn't a bad thing, if it wasn't for the fact that we were dancing with each other and some of the men started to question the two "brothers" sexuality
Talberts POV
Talbert walked over tapped Pat on the shoulder, Pat turned and looked at Talbert "Hey Tab, what can I do for you?"
"Pat, I know, about Chris and I don't like it" Talbert told Pat
"Tab, I agree with you, but I can't change her mind, maybe you can, I know she likes and trust you" Pat swayed, he had his fair share to drink and Talbert was fairly sure, he wouldn't remember their conversation tomorrow.
That made up Talbert's mind, he was going to Winters, to let him decide what should happen to Chris.
The next day the rest of first platoon woke up with massive hangovers, but not Floyd Talbert, he had decided to tell lieutenant Winters the truth.
The next morning Talbert knocked on Winters door, the officer was writing a letter, when he heard a knock on the door frame, he looked and noticed Talbert standing in the door looking mighty nervous.
"Private, what can I do for you?" Winters asked
"It's about sergeant Christenson" Talbert said and he continued to tell Winters everything
"Yeah that is…I'll take care of it" Winters told Talbert
…..
Chris POV
I was playing poker with Guarnere, Malarkey, Luz and Hoobler, when Sinks runner found me and informed me that my presence was requested at regiment HQ.
The table became quiet and I looked at my friends, I had become very close to the men in my platoon and I didn't want to leave them before I got my Jump Wings.
Things had ben rough there for A fem days after Talberts reveiled my true gender to the rest of the company, but AS sin AS the guys realized nothing changed things settled down a few of the men still refused to talk to me, but that was ok.
I walked to Regiment HQ, on her way there I passed Nixon and Matheson,and saluted them. Nixon had a smirk on his face, but Matheson looked at me, like it was the first time he actually saw me.
I knocked on Sink office door, all I got was an "Enter", I opened the door and gathered in the office was Winters, Sobel, Strayer and Sink.
"Christenson, I hear you have some very interesting news, care to tell me?" Sink asked me
I dropped my head and then looked up I decided if Iwas going down, I was going down fighting "Sir, I can imagine that private Talbert told you I am a woman, so I won't even try to bull shit you, all ask is for you to allow me to continue my training so I at least will get my Jump Wings"
Sink looked at the young woman in front of him, the soldier in front of him, the soldier who had the highest marks in everything and had taken everything the army had to throw at her, and she just kept smiling and kept the morale of her company up.
"Lucky for you, some senator pencil pusher want to make an impression on the feminist groups, so I have permission to let you continue your training, but rest assured, if you fail to live up to the demands of your CO, you will be out of the airborne, private Christenson"
"Yes Sir" I saluted Sink who dismissed me
Before I left the office I looked at Winters who gave me an encouraging smile and a wink
I hurried out of the office and ran into my brother and Talbert, I shot Talbert a dirty look, but told them I was still in the army and it would take more than Sobel and her being a woman to get me to leave.
After Fort Benning I was promoted to sergeant.
On board the train on destination Sturgis, Kentucky
swaying my way down the train, was heading for Nixon, I knew he had whisky in his flask and I had every intention of 'taking advantage of him.
Nixon and I had become quite close friends after a drunken night, when Nixon had spilled the beans about his marriage, his boarding school education and the messed up relationship with his parents.
Winters and a few of the other officers frowned up the friendship, but the two friends didn't care, they enjoyed each other's company.
I found Nixon, he was sitting beside the new lieutenant Harry and I sat down between the two, Harry who had been sleeping woke up, when someone accidently hit him in the stomach
"Oh, Oh sorry Lieutenant that was an accident" I blushed
"It's ok, it's not the first time I been hit by a woman" Harry joked
I looked at Nixon "So what do you have in your flask today?"
Nix knew then what I wanted and pulled out his flask and handed it to me, after taking a big gulp I handed it to Harry.
By the time they arrived in Sturgis, the three of us had become tipsy. I felt like I had made a new friend in Harry Welsh.
