THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP
You can never hear the blades of a helicopter until it's right above of you.
The helicopter is almost onto the ground and sand is lifted off the ground like a tiny little tornado. The helicopter touches down and a skinny little private bolts in there faster than you can say wuss.
"Hey guys," I say to Megan and Joseph,"looks like we got a squirmer."
We all laugh and the private glares at me.
"Hey lay off." I say to him, and jokingly punch him in the arm.
"Owww!" he yells out
"C'mon brittle bones, get over it you'll heal." I laugh
"You three seem to know each other," the private says to me, Joe and Megan, "how'd you meet?"
"Do you think your entitled to that question brittle bones?" He looks at me with shock and fear filling his eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm just messing with you." I laugh
I tell him about half the story. I enlisted into the U.S. Marines in January of 2015. I loved dogs my whole life, so naturally when I joined the military that's all I wanted to do. But first I had to make it through basic training. It was the most grueling 8 weeks of my life. About 3 weeks in I walk into the cafeteria and sit next down next to a random guy. So I'm eating my lunch and these two guys walk right up to us and slam Down their trays right across the table.and then they glare at this guy that I sat next to.
"How's your food beaner?" the one on the right says and the one on the left snickers like he said something funny.
"Don't call me beaner." the guy on my side says, deadpan.
"Why, did we hurt your feelings?" the one on the left says.
"You haven't hurt any thing but your brain, by acting so pitiful." the guy to my side says, not looking up.
The two guys scowl and leave the cafeteria. I should've known right then that something was up but I didn't, I just kept on eating my lunch. the guy walks out and I'm out of there about a minute later. I turn the corner and there the two from the cafeteria, beating the kid that walked out of the cafeteria before me. I don't think, just act. my fist comes faster than I thought was possible. He gets hit right in the nose and makes a sickening crunch. He runs away bawling like a little baby. The other guy turns around towards the guy and gets a face full of face from him.
"Nice punch" I tell guy
"Why didn't you leave me the other one?" he says.
About a week later I'm running a 5k with Joe and Suddenly this girl runs up and says
"Run!"
So what do we do? well obviously we catch up with her and ask why we're running.
"Look behind you!" she says
So we look behind us and there's probably 30 guys chasing after this girl. so we run as fast as we can into the base. We're all laughing the whole way. we finally find a hideout underneath the barracks.
"Who are you?" I ask her
"I'm Megan" she says
"Why were those guys trying to kill us?"
"I made a bet that they couldn't catch me for an hour." she replies
"I guess you won the bet then" Joseph laughs
