It has been five months since that bus has come to take the students and Amanda was one of the three students from her school to be chosen to join the military along side Jake and another student from the same school. She was the seventeen year old redheaded girl with the blue eyes back in the assembly. Anyways, all the people that have been in the training camps have been training for almost five months now. They've simply learned the basics of a few weapons and tanks. They've also been learned how to navigate using a map and they are now getting to the steps of hand-to-hand combat. This has been the most important part of training and the one that Amanda is on a physical advantage with. See now, hand-to-hand combat is all that it comes down to. If two men were fighting and both of their weapons ended up getting damaged, they'd have to engage in hand-to-hand combat. In close quarters you'd also need to use your arms and legs to fight and you need to be quick.
Anyways, before all the trainees went to sleep in one big tent, their instructor told them, "By tomorrow, y'all need to get ready for some hand-to-hand combat 'cause we goin' to start working on those arms 'n legs! Hoo-Rah!" All the trainees, including Amanda replied with "Hoo-Rah!" Before going to bed.
Amanda would quickly duck down and punch her opponent in the stomach and right after she punches her opponent, Amanda would quickly roundhouse-kick him to the ground. There would be a crowd of cheering boys and girls "That girl has some skills down there!" Someone would scream out. The instructor would join the crowd of boys and girls and my opponent a deadly glare. He'd then look at Amanda.
"Someone like you should've joined us years ago!"
"Thanks."
"But next time make sure you don't completely knock out another one of the trainees."
Amanda would look down at the unconscious boy and slightly laugh.
