SGT. JOHN "LEAD" DOE - 1ST RECON MARINES
MARCH 15, 2014 1300 ZULU TIME
AL SULAYMANIYAH, IRAQ
John's POV:
It was the day after the fight that I become king. We were moving through the streets of Al Sulaymaniyah inside a LAV-25. Yeah, not really the best of vehicles, but it's good enough for me. I was sitting between Montes and Chaffin while in the background, Johnny Cash's "God's Gonna Cut You Down" is playing through the radio. I then get a call from my radio from Quinton Cole, aka Misfit Actual.
Cole: Misfit 1-3, this is Misfit Actual. Be advised, we are crossing the LOD in two mikes, over.
Me: Copy that.
Montes then speaks up.
Montes: Yo, does anyone else really not get what the f*ck we're doin' here?
Chaffin: Quit being a f*cking hippie Montes!
Montes: I'm just saying, bro. If this is about the PLR, we should be in Iran - not Iraq.
Chaffin: They're crossin' borders, dawg. PLR is the right people, all right? They don't make them any righter.
Cole then talks through the radio again.
Cole: Misfit 1-3, this is Misfit Actual. We have a situation developing here. Get your team dismounted and into the staging area ASAP.
Me: This is 1-3, copy. Out.
As soon as I said that, the LAV-25 slows down.
Montes: What the f*ck are we stopping here for? Our objective's 20 klicks north of here.
Campo (looking at Montes): I don't know Montes. (looks at me) You have any idea, Lead?
Me: Unfortunately, no. (I turn back to everyone) Alright, orders are orders for now. Let's get out on the road!
The LAV-25 stops and opens the rear door.
Me: Ok, let's go! Move it!
Montes: Whatever you say, "Prodigy"...
I slightly chuckle at his remarks. Once we get off, Montes talks to a nearby Marine.
Montes: I guess we're late to the part. Where's the LT?
Random Marine (points at an intersection): Hang a right up here.
Me: Thanks. (I look back to everyone) Alright, let's move.
We then started walking and make a right at a bazaar.
Montes: You ever ask yourself how this part of the world gets so f*cked up all the time?
Me: Yep. This place is a f*ckin' mess all the time. It is the Middle East after all.
Montes: You got that right, Lead.
We continue walking down the bazaar until we see Cole standing in front of some wooden pellets and having a map in front of him.
Cole: Gentlemen. Welcome. As you know we're dealing with the PLR insurgents crossing over from Iran. A lot of sectarian tension. I counsel you to remember, gentlemen, the people of this country are not your enemy - the PLR is. At 0930 we lost contact with Viper squad. They were investigating a possible IED near Spinza Meat Market, and that's a pretty f*cking bad part of town. We believe the PLR are involved. I'm sending you in to find our marines, provide support and calling CASEVAC if necessary. You're the quick reaction force, gentlemen. I'm trusting you to handle this. Let's go find our marines!
