KENNY (DOC)

Kenny had been awake for about two hours and was busy checking her pack for any supplies she might be running low on. She'd only just arrived on base and her roomies was an Army chopper pilot named M. Shepard; a Louie at that.

Well here in the Stan any place you could sleep in safety was a four star accommodation and Lieutenant Shepard seemed a nice sort.

This wasn't Kenny's first time in the Stan and till this crap storm stopped putting holes in Marines she'd keep coming back.

As she worked on checking her inventory. Kenny recalled her little chat with her dad back in the world. He'd reminded her of her promise to her mom about going to med school after her enlistment was up and she'd told him she was still heading to school when she'd earned her keep this enlistment.

MAGGIE 

Maggie had been awakened by her roomie a cute blonde that looked more like she should be teaching school than dodging fire an patching up wounded. But from what she'd learned through the vine the Doc was a high stepper with a Bronze; funny she didn't look the type.

Once her roomie was out Maggie dressed in her sweats and headed over to what passed as a camp gym. It was pitiful as far as workouts went but at leaast Maggie didn't think she'd loose any tone while here.

Many people seemed more surprised to learn Maggie was a power lifter than a pilot and it always made her laugh. She'd gotten into lifting when she was a freshman in high school and when she entered the Army she'd discovered a second passion; Marathon running. Maggie had to settle for a stationary bike to relieve her need for running because running here she'd disappear in short time.
