2 days later, Bradley wakes up super early and packs his bag of belongings. He placed all of his clothes inside a single, giant duffel bag, and lastly, he even pack the photo frame of his family photo in the bag. Ben arrives to the Carter Mansion, along with his wife, Cathy and their two children, so they could say goodbye to Bradley.
Later, two soldiers from the US Army Base arrives to the airport, to collect Bradley. Bradley says his goodbyes in front of the mansion. Bradley starts by saying goodbye to Nicholas."Now, remember. Follow the rules and do what the soldiers say, and behave yourself.", Nicholas replied. "Yes, Dad. I will, I promise.", Bradley sighed, as Nicholas hugs him.
"I'm proud of you for doing this, son.", Nicholas sighed. Bradley then hugs Mary, who is emotional with tears. "Don't cry, Mom.", Bradley sighed. "I know, it's just I'm going to miss you.", Mary sighed. "I'm going to miss you too.", Bradley sighed, as he held his mother tight. "Take care of yourself, Bradley.", Mary sighed. "I will, Mom.", Bradley sighed.
Bradley then looks at Hailey. "Goodbye, Hailey.", Bradley sighed. But Hailey didn't move and looks at him in anger. "Bye.", Hailey replied, before walking away, which upsets Bradley. "Hey, don't worry about her, she'll come through.", Ben replied. "Promise me, you'll look out for her while I'm gone.", Bradley replied. "I will, don't worry.", Ben smiled. Bradley then hugs Ben.
"Thanks for being there with me, no matter what.", Bradley sighed. "Anytime, little bro.", Ben smiled. "Ok, kids, say goodbye to Uncle Bradley.", Ben replied, as Bradley kneels down to embrace both of his niece and nephew, who hugs him at the same time. "Bye, Uncle Bradley!", Brandon replied. "Goodbye, and take care of each other.", Bradley smiled.
"Ok, time's up, we better get moving.", one of the soldiers replied. Bradley gets up and waves goodbye, before heading to the plane. He heads inside and waves at his family one last time before the door shuts in front of him. The plane then flies away, as Bradley looks at his family watching him leave, at the window, before turning to the front, getting ready for a change.
The plane flew all the way to Dublin, California, where the US Army Base is held. Once landed, Bradley and the two soldiers arrives and are picked up by a car, with two more soldiers from the Army Base and drove to Parks Reserve Forces Training Area, which is the US Army Base that Bradley is assigned to stay and train for a year.
Upon arrival to the Army Base, Bradley is sent to meet General Victor Sutherland, who runs the Army Base, in his office. "General, our new recruit has arrived.", the soldier replied. "Bring him in!", Victor called out and Bradley goes inside the office to meet him. "Hello, you must be Bradley Carter.", Victor replied. "Yes, sir. I am.", Bradley replied.
"I'm the General of the PRDTA, Victor Sutherland, welcome to the Base. This is Sergeant Christian Thompson, he'll be your commanding officer in your group, he'll show your room, soon. But you need to fill out these forms in order for you to stay and train with us.", Victor replied.
"Alright.", Bradley replied, as he sat down and go through paper forms and sign his signature. After filling out forms, Victor offer his hand for Bradley to shake. Bradley takes it and shake Victor's hand. "Welcome to our Base, O.C. Carter.", Victor smiled, while saluting. "Thank you, General.", Bradley replied, saluting.
"Sergeant Thompson, show O.C. Carter his room and introduce him to your cadets.", Victor replied. "Yes, sir!", Chris replied, as he leads Bradley out of Victor's office and through the whole base, and eventually to the dorm rooms, and unlocked an empty room.
"This is your room, where you'll be sleeping and studying during your entire stay here with us. Lights out is at 9pm, so no staying up late than that. Training starts at 6am sharp, so don't be late and wake up calls are at 5am, it'll give you enough time for you to make your bed and get ready for training every day. Is that clear?", Chris replied. "Yes, sir.", Bradley replied.
"I'll give you 10 minutes to settle in and change into your uniform, I'll be back to check on you, before I'll bring you to meet the other cadets.", Chris replied. "Yes, sir.", Bradley replied, as Chris leaves and Bradley starts to unpack his duffel bag and put all of his clothes in drawers and placed his family photo frame on his study desk. He looks at his family photo for a while and realise how much he had miss them already.
