It is the year 1990, seven year old Joshua Edison hopes to be in the marine core one day. Josh would play army with his friends but, he wanted the real deal. By the time Joshua was in middle school, he had more knowledge of the military than even his teachers. Joshua got in to paintball by age twelve. He wanted as much practice a possible, but his town wasn't very big, so they had to go into the city to play. That didn't stop young Josh, when he was sixteen he had already started planning on what to know for the military.

By age seventeen Josh shot his first fully automatic firearm. It was a military grade M16 assault rifle that his grandpa had from the marines. Joshua had his tactics down. He knew what he needed to do, and he was ready for the worst. His grandpa had taught him what to say when I his teammate had fallen, or when an enemy had fallen, and even how to reload a gun as fast as possible.
