Jaune: alright you sorry lot welcome to the Urban Combat Training Facility.

The row of newly recruited Gears stood at attention with one small boi in the middle completely out of place

Jaune: you will all go through this course and you will show some results, not all of you are fit and ready for this...

As he looks at Tucker who was standing at attention and he nods

Jaune: but no one will ever be ready for everything. My job is to get you trained and ready for all threats to mankind.

Now who will be our first volunteer? Anyone? Step forward!

Every Gear in line all Step backwards leaving Tucker the only one in front of the Commanders vision

Jaune: I guess we have a volunteer.

Tucker was puzzled as he looks around and saw he was standing alone in front of all the Gears and he panics

Jaune: calm down recruit and you might get out of this without any permanent damage.

Now the minimal time to pass this course is less than 60 seconds Pvt. First Class Michael J. Caboose holds the Squadron record of 19 seconds.

Grab your gear and get ready.

Tucker did as instructed and went to the armory as Sgt. Clayton was there to hand him his basic kit

Clayton: hey there kid here you go, the basic everyday items a Gear can be thankful for.

He was equipped with a Lancer and a Pistol with a couple of Frags

Tucker: thank you sir!

Clayton: good luck kid your gonna need it.

He salutes and makes his way to the starting point

Jaune was in the observation booth with the Carmine Brothers and Caboose

Jaune: alright get ready to run the course, now you will rush positions 1 and 2, then frag your way to Position 3 clear the building and blow past Position 4 following every instruction I give along the way.

He then checks his Lancer and turns off the safety and check his pistol if it had ammo

Jaune: ( good the kid at least knows how to check Inventory.)

Now! Go! Go! Go!

Tucker then bum rushes through the barriers

Jaune: Position 1 Hit the Targets!!!

Tucker did and mildly misses as he has yet developed the strength to handle the Lancer's recoil

Jaune: don't forget to Vent your Lancer!

Tucker then switches to the pistol as he ran out of ammo and makes his way to the building

Jaune: Position 2! Frag that building!

He did as instructed and whipped out a Frag

Jaune: Breach the building!

Tucker attempts to shoulder rams the door but it was too strong as he lands on his ass

Jaune: Shoot the hinges! And Kick!

He did as told then it was successful and he went room by room clearing as he goes

Jaune: storm to position 3!

Tucker jumps down and moves through the barriers

Jaune: use it for cover! The enemy won't hesitate to shoot you!

He then jumps and rolls around using anything for cover

Jaune: the enemy isn't gonna stand around use the Lancer!

A DB was deployed rushing towards Tucker who was hiding in cover

Jaune: ( hmm it seems he has good instincts, must be the farm he lived on was used to Grimm attacks. From what Dad says.)

SPRINT TO THE FINISH!!!

Tucker then makes a mad dash to the finish line.

Final Time: 1 min and 12 seconds.

Jaune: the point is to take less time not more, do it again!

And Tucker made the Run a 2nd time

Final Time: 56 seconds.

Jaune: that's an Improvement, but it's not hard to improve on Garbage, Again! Take 5 for a moment.

Tucker took a break took a deep breath and gave it everything he got

Final Time: 38 seconds.

Jaune: that's enough Tucker you'll do.

Tucker then sits on the ground very tired as the other Gears congratulate him and Jaune went of to go give his Father an earful with this hassle

Benjamin: don't worry kid the Commander just wants you to be ready.

Anthony: he might be hard but he means well.

Tucker: I know *pant* but this *pant* is tough...

Clayton: that's a Gear's life kid, not like the Primadonna Huntsmen.

Caboose: well at least he let's you use Frags. I'm not allowed if I'm not supervised.

Tucker: why?

Clayton: that's a story for another day.
