Jakes perspective:

We are a week away from the mission and damn, everyone is freaking the fuck out. They aren't letting it show but their silence speaks for itself. There's drama everyday...

Especially today. There was big drama.

During briefing I may or may not have overstepped.

*during breifing*

"So we're gonna need someone who can step up, Bradshaw why weren't you flying fast enough?" Our instructor yelled.

"Cmon! I was the only one to finish the course! NOBODY else finished before getting shot down or missing the target." Bradly responded.

"Right, but what happens then, you went over 2 and a half minutes?"

"Dog fight"

"They've got better missiles than we do, more people prepped."

"It's not about the plane it's about the pilot sir."

"Yeah, it is about the pilot. But not one like you Bradly, one like Mav here... he's got what it takes, not you, you are too slow. God can't you listen for once. You're gonna end up like your father if you don't." I said.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Bradly said standing up.

"You know EXACTLY what I mean."

Thats when Bradly got up and punched me in my face, so I pushed him... Mav (Pete, our instructor) broke us apart and told us we were dismissed.

Maybe that wasn't my best idea ever, but it's true, everything I said. I hate Bradly but I don't want his family to deal with another person dying like that.
