Newbies

I stand in a window as the Commanding Officer explains the rules to the newbies. "You will be in front of your room at 6 o'clock sharp, if you want to eat you are at the dining hall at 6:05 at 6:30 you will be at your training dinner is at 6 your curfew is 9. If you disobey you will suffer the consequences." That's the army for you. As he turns to leave he sees me gives a sharp mean glare and walks through the door. He as been my Commander for 5 years all thou there is no point because I don't listen.

"LOLA" I hear a scream from down the hall. I don't need to look I know it is my friend Adam.

"Hey Adam" I say casually as he wheezes beside me.

"Hey I need you to come look at this"

I already know what it is the sheet has my name on it. But I start a light jog as he bolts down the hall. I stop at the sheet to see where they are sending me now. Afghanistan again. Look to see who in my group. 3 others I don't know. Great here we go again.
