You can never know you are right unless you prove yourself right.
I had lived with that rule for long. I knew that realizing something, seeing something or hearing something did not make it true. What made it true was finding a way to prove it. To show myself I was right.
My family knew I never believed them unless they had evidence. They always thought I would become a detective but that was never my dream. The system was too fucked up and I was too observant.
If I became a detective. I was bound to figure out some dark stuff that would get me killed.I chose not to be that.
But it did not change how observant I was.
The first week as a trainer, I watched each and every one of them. They were surely hating on me but we had things to do. The week focused on light support weapons training and assessments.
I made sure to wake them up at 3am every morning for their physical training. During the day we got done with their program. I noticed every one else socialized except her.
Aidan.
She was quiet and very unfriendly. Infact, Aidan had a bit if an anger problem.
Her strong physique surely intimidated a lot of people. She was tall with a muscular built body. There was no way Aidan was lowest on training if she was not doing it on purpose.
"You have the rest of your Sunday to rest. Tomorrow we start with the First Aid training. You are dismissed!"
"Yes Sergeant!" They saluted then marched away.
I was going to be seeing some of the Trainers on camp. There were already three groups. All trainees were to compete against each other but for now they were still In training. Today in army history I noticed the way Aidan kept zoning out.
I wanted to study her. Know her before I talked to her. Aidan was not weak, she was trying to appear so.
I took time making myself a meal in the military cabin I was staying in then afterwards I joined the rest at the military main house. I noticed a few familiar faces but most of them were just strangers. 6 trainers in the main house. They were watching football while drinking.
"Sergeant Chase! It's good to have you join us" Private Percy handed me a beer and I took it sitting next to him.
"Nice to see you old guy."
"So, any trouble first week?" He asked still concentrating on the screen.
"No, a few complaints and twisted bones here and there. Then the silent hate from the trainees." I chuckled opening the bottle with my teeth.
"Well if there is no hate, you are doing a horrible job" Percy joked.
"The eyes they give me, I have died a lot of horrible deaths in their imaginations."
"Remember when Drew suggested we murder our trainer?. Even though he said jokes, everyone knew he wanted to do it after the Sergeant embarrassed him during barracks inspection"
We both laughed at that memory. Drew was my friend who died in war. He was the most mischievous trainee during training. The Training Sergeant Donald and Drew had a strong hate relationship.
Losing Drew took a huge toll on me especially when I was well aware I was never going back in the field. I lost him and my career in the same battle.
"I heard these trainees are in demand more on guard duty. After AIT, they might go right to protection unit"
"Why so soon?" I frowned looking at Percy.
"Don't know. But you know how these things go"
I did. The power dynamics were just too horrible for my liking. Even when I had a position. I had to fight for my team when it came to some of the bad decisions made higher up. Like having these kids protecting these political parties.
