Chapter 129 Survivors of Class A-1
Chapter 129 Survivors of Class A-1
Since entering the candidate school, I have to increase my weight and increase training tasks every day. Some people may think it is stupid, and they don't even know how to cherish the private space between training.
Amanda would reply, "Huh, a bunch of fools! I'm burning excess calories. Under the gas mask, I can fully enjoy the air that is all to me."
That's right, as long as you haven't left school, even the air belongs to the Marine Corps, to Midshipman School.Although it is only one of many Marine Corps military schools at Quantico Base, and it is only a reserve officer school.
The real test is not the classrooms, playgrounds and dormitories here, nor is it the occasional use of tear gas or smoke bombs, plus a "children's toy" anti-terrorist submachine gun to wake up the sleeping students.
This place is designed to test the reserve officers' ability to respond under pressure.The rank of second lieutenant in the Marine Corps is awarded only to those who can effectively relieve pressure and, when appropriate, demonstrate resourcefulness, integrity, creativity, teamwork and leadership.
It has been three weeks since the last "room wake-up call".Later, in the middle of the weapons training course, Teresa couldn't help laughingly using the wake-up call in the hotel room as a metaphor for the surprise attack in the dormitory in the morning.She has to admit that using the method as an alarm clock or biological alarm clock in the body is indeed very effective.
那么在这种效果或其他效果之下,A-1班的40名男女学员们经过了6周的训练时间。当然不再是40名学员,而是仅存的20名学员出现在课堂或通往宿舍的道路上。
Watching her colleagues drop out of school due to training injuries, Teresa felt very lucky; after the results of the leadership test came out, she wondered why some outstanding male students failed the test; as a female student, she also despised those Male cadets who violate the principles of honesty and integrity.
"There are still 4 weeks, and there is still a month before we can leave here. At that time, we must go to the tavern outside the base to drink a few bottles of beer, or eat a big pizza." Teresa's eyes were fixed on Zheng Taotao Sergeant Sergeant Griffiths can't stop, but he is thinking about how to celebrate this "great moment" after graduation.
She couldn't believe that Amanda, who was sitting in the second row behind her, was really just listening to the sergeant major's lecture.He kept suppressing the desire to be curious, and didn't look back at her or plan to throw a small ball of paper at her.
"I didn't go to Meghan's house last time, but Elena went anyway. She said she hasn't been this happy for a long time, is it true?" Amanda thought, using the pen in her hand to keep remembering the words of the sergeant major. The content of the lecture.
During the 6 weeks, the emotional bond between the two girls gradually became longer and thinner, and it began to make Amanda uncertain about Elena's thoughts at this time.It's not that she doesn't want to see her, but that she doesn't want to delay the school's training sessions because of her feelings.
In the face of bread and love, the focus of Amanda's life slowly tilted towards "bread" without realizing it.Since joining the Marine Corps, she felt more and more that she was born to be a Marine.Whether it was a cold-blooded killing machine or a militant, she didn't know, she just knew that either way, the Marines could give her something she didn't have.
Not being able to study at Chengde University was one of her regrets before joining the Marine Corps; not having Julie by her side was a kind of longing for her old life.Once there is no place for her in the Marine Corps, she fears that she will not be able to do other jobs in the future.
Maybe many years later, I will become a regular visitor of the Veterans Administration; maybe many years later, I don't even know where the Veterans Administration is; maybe I will be lucky enough to stay in the Marine Corps?
Why did that woman called mother give me a letter of recommendation from the Marine Corps?Why was she in the office building at the Barris Island training camp?Does she think this is a kind of compensation for leaving her childhood self?All the answers I want to know, Amanda still has no clue until now.
When the sergeant major turned around to write on the blackboard, he shook his head heavily from side to side, trying to sort out his confused mind.When she raised her head again, she saw the back of the communications corporal in front.
After the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the sergeant major put down the book in his hand and nodded to the temporary squad leader Amanda, "Okay, take a 10-minute break, you can go out to stretch your legs and shake your head. I don't mind, you go Do 20 pull-ups."
"Everyone stand up, thank you sir." Amanda immediately stood up from her seat and shouted loudly.
Among the 16 male students in the class, some were dissatisfied with Amanda being the temporary monitor, while some admired her and wondered why she only wanted to stay with the other three female students.
It cannot be said that the thinking of male students is extreme, because they do not think it is very puzzling that there are only 4 female students in this classroom.But for these four female students, it was quite different.It can be imagined that if an average of four male students surrounded one female student, it would only lead to sexual harassment incidents of varying sizes.
During the 6 weeks of being together day and night, Teresa regarded Amanda as a mature woman, and at the same time cared for her in every possible way.This "mature woman" is only 19 years old this year.After all, she is still a little girl, so she can't let a man "bully" her, right?
"Amanda, go outside for a walk." Teresa said enthusiastically when she came to her.
"Uh...well, you're not going to call them?" Amanda asked as she got up.
"I think, don't I call you? Look." Teresa looked at the corporal and sergeant who were approaching.
The sergeant stared at Amanda enviously, "I don't believe you are only 19 years old. Teresa, what do you think?"
Amanda said as she walked, "Thank you, but I don't think you look like a 24-year-old woman at all. You look about as young as me."
A woman's age is always a secret worth exploring in front of a man.But in front of women, this is not worth concealing and falsely reporting.The sergeant's face suddenly smiled, "Amanda, your eyes are charming, but your mouth is even more charming."
Four female students walked out of the classroom and out of the school building.There were constant talking and laughing along the way. Although the voice was not loud, it could still attract the attention of some male students.
Theresa smiled and said, "We're graduating in four weeks, do you want to celebrate?"
The corporal walking beside her said, "How do you want to celebrate? Have a mask party? Get another man to go to the motel outside the base...?"
"Shut up, I'm not like you talking all the time, it's a tough life without a man. What about you, Amanda?"
"Uh...I'd like to find a few more female trainees and have a stag party. What do you think?"
