Court-Martialed, and sentenced to death, Ryan Knight served the United States Army as a Black Operations Operative in the Green Beret before murdering his commanding officer. After escaping certain death by sheer luck, Knight begins a new life after enlisting in the Coalition of World Leader's Army.  Although his skill in combat, natural ability to lead, and his intelligence allows him to rise through the ranks easily, his past would slowly return to haunt him. However this time the stakes are much higher with a new platoon, his desperation to hide his past, and no way out until his duty is done.

The Peacekeeper by GrayRider1031

I willed myself to show no interest even though my heart pounded wildly at the thought of joining the Peace Corps. "Oh yeah?" I whispered, not daring to disturb the people around us. "Tell me about it." The older man pulled a pamphlet out of his suit. The young boy handed me a card. "Read the pamphlet. Call me when you've decided what you want to do." I read the names. Lucas Thompson. I looked him in the eye. "Is there a deadline?" "Miss Woods, call me only when you are sure of your answer. That will be your deadline." #382 in action as of January 3rd 2018 #542 in action as of February 20th 2018 #968 in action as of April 14th 2018 #693 in action as of April 18th 2018 #509 in action as of August 7th 2018 #701 in action as of August 8th 2018 #585 in #sisterandbrother as of March 15th 2019

GATE: Awakening The Sleeping Giant (V1) by stevenwn1

A mysterious, ancient-looking gate appeared in Washington, D.C., sometime in the 21st century. From the gate poured out monsters, knights from medieval Europe, and other fantasy-like beings, and they began a systematic slaughter of the citizens of the U.S. capital, laying siege to the White House. For the first time since the War of 1812, the streets of the United States became a battlefield. Due to their unrestrained arrogance, the Empire of Sadera immediately sought to claim the lands on the other side of the gate. However, they would soon realize just how inferior their own military truly was. Once the U.S. military mobilized, they attacked the invaders with their advanced technology, forcing only a thousand of them to retreat while killing or capturing the rest. This unprovoked attack on U.S. soil, not seen since September 11th, 2001, would be known as the "Washington Incident." In retaliation, the U.S. government sends the United States Marine Corps to the alternate world beyond the gate, thus beginning the American-Saderan War. We will follow certain groups of people from both the nations of Earth and the kingdoms of Falmart to set the stage for the bloodiest conflict Falmart has ever seen.

Quickly thrust into a world hellbent on destroying itself, Max must learn to bond with his comrades, throw away his morality, and survive in some of the most brutal environments on the planet.

Hellfire • L.A. by lifeinkalopsia

*this book is unedited, as well as a work of fiction* To the public, the Survey Corps are the most elite branch of the military, but that's not true. The Phoenix Squadron is a secret operations team with just as much, if not more, skill as the Survey Corps. The lone unit is merely legend to some people, but others believe in its existence. Lux Elton is second in command of this unit right below Commander Perry. Over the past nine years she's racked up a total of 27 kills alone, and is considered by her squad to be the best fighter to have ever walked outside of the walls. After a Survey Corps mission goes terribly wrong, Chief Military Officer Darius Zackly orders the Phoenix Squadron to work with the Survey Corps until they've recovered. The normally calm and collected captain must learn how to control her anger towards a particularly irritating Corporal if she's ever going to survive. These feelings of annoyance won't last forever though, and soon turn into something even harder to control. Lux will have to make it through the hellfire of war, but can she do it alone?

Mil SO (Military Significant Other) by CaylahWest

My chest hurt as an empty feeling rushed over me. My breathing picked up as I clutched my chest. It was painful but yet, oh so familiar. Black dots swam in my vision as my heart beat wildly. I closed my eyes and tried to calm my breathing. Panic attacks weren't uncommon for me. I'd had them ever since the accident. I felt the tears roll down my cheeks as my face heated. It was getting harder to breath. It felt like the walls were closing in around me, and the oxygen was being sucked out of the room. "Iris! Calm down. You have to calm down," a voice sounded from a distance. It was too late; I was in full panic attack mode. My body shook as I sobbed in gasps. I felt hands on my arms but barely. I was too far-gone. The black dots increased as my breathing did. I'd done this too many times to know what was coming next. I hyperventilated until I passed out completely. ~ After a traumatic event that led to her family's death, Iris moves with her Aunt to California to try and start over. Iris Morgan grew up a military brat. With her dad in the Marines, she grew accustomed to that lifestyle, until she was ripped from it. Now she has to be the new girl all over again. Only this time, she has to keep her PTSD in check as well as survive a high school full of teen celebrites, cute boys, and around the clock drama. All Iris has to do is survive two years until graduation, but what comes after graduation may prove to be more difficult than high school itself.
