He had been wired awake the entire trip. David looked as though he had just been hit by several trucks at the same time. Going straight from one mission to a helicopter ride can do that to you. At first it bothered him how he would go from being on an OP 13 hours ago to his next station. But after being with the ADTR for a while you get use to it. David hated being surrounded by this many people that he didn't know. When he shipped over to ADTR it was a small team, but he met them all at the Nest.

He looked at the man who was with the U.S Airforce. He wanted to chuckle but he knew the air force had pulled his ass out of the shit a few times before. He figured he could get along with him. He then observed the Chinese Scientists, and sighed. Why couldn't he be shipped there by the ADTR. He hated having to share the Chinook with everyone else. He spotted the Marine and noted the uniform. Marines were always squared away. Josh always had his boots shined and uniform ironed, even if it was just a day spent around the barracks. He did not follow the line of insulting the Marines his fellow brothers in the Army did. He had high respect for Marines, having fought beside them several times.

As they said they were 10 minutes out he got up from his seat. Revealing he was just wearing his Trousers, a Under Armour sleeveless T-Shirt and his boots. He had his Rifle slung across his chest, and the safety was off. He never believed in having a safety on his gun. The extra millisecond mattered in a fire fight, and he was always ready for a fight. He grabbed his gear that he had packed into a Sea Bag he got from Josh for the trip. He wondered why Josh gave it to him at first. He then realized it smelled like cat piss. He didn't mind though, he just wrapped all his gear in plastic wrap. He walked down the Chinook towards the ramp. He stopped at the Marine and looked at her. "Marine, you got dust on your boots." He said with a smirk and continued on. He knew Marines prided themselves on how clean their gear was. He approached the ramp and stood there waiting to get off. He was always the first off on his missions. He took it as a responsibility to make sure it was safe for his Team Leader to disembark.
