(A/N: Oooohhh!!! Another tank story?!?! Lovely!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello there! I am Staff Sargent F/N Arc, the older brother of Jau...
I have been telling my family about my training experience back in the Army for about two to three hours. My sisters continue to question me further, which is really exhausting. I mean seriously, Saphron continues to bombard me with questions about what type of training I did, while Bianca asks me about the weapons I'm equipped with. I shrug then answer their 'simple' questions...
Me: To answer your question, Saphron... *Stretches* Back in Fort Benning, we do physical exercises for at least a good four to five hours before doing firing drills in our tanks.
Saphron: I see, but didn't you and your crew get transferred to Fort Bliss in Texas?
Me: Yeah! We did! *Smiles* We're in the 1st Armored Division, AKA Old Ironsides.
Saphron: Oh! That's pretty awesome!
Me: *Nods* Yup!
Adrian: *Cute baby noises*
Me: Aw... *Gets back to topic* So yeah... *Looks up* Back in Texas, we received advanced tank training, in which we learn how to travel on mud, fire on the move and such. It was fun, even though it was almost a hundred degrees outside.
Saphron: Did you have any AC? I mean, it's a modern tank, right? It should have AC.
Me: *Shrugs* Eeeeeehhhhhhhh no...
Saphron: No? What do you mean?
Me: It has an AC unit, but it's only for the equipment.
Saphron: Really?!
Me: Saph... You do realize it's a military tank, there's no comfort for the crew.
Saphron: Oh alright, I'll give them a pass.
Me: Yeah.
Bianca: Anyway! *Looks at me* F/N, what type of weapons are you equipped with?
Me: Well Bianca, tank crews don't really carry large machine guns and stuff because there's not that much room to put them.
Bianca: So, you have to use compact firearms?
Me: Compact or medium sized.
Bianca: Oh! I see.
Me: Yeah, so I am equipped with a 1216 Shotgun, a Sig Sauer M18 Pistol and a tactical spring assisted flip blade.
Bianca: Why a shotgun?
Me: Well sis, you'll never know if you need to go close quarters.
Bianca: True, I guess. Um... Can you keep 'em?
Me: I can keep the knife but not the guns.
Bianca: That's a bummer, but may we see the knife?
Me: Sure! *Gestures* Get Adrian out of the way.
Saphron picks up Adrian and places him on her lap, then I reach into my pocket before whipping out my unfolded knife. I press the button and the blade flips out of the handle.
