Durk flung himself from his bunk and was at attention, as soon as the sergeant left he quickly made his bunk. He walked over to his foot locker, he kicked it open and grabbed his combat uniform from the chest. Durk quickly put them on and ran to his equipment locker, his heavy boots thudding against the barracks floor as he walked. He pulled out his armor and started checking to make sure the battery for his smart gun is operational. 

He attached the swing arm to the m3 then he quickly put ammo into the M56A2. Durk dawned the armor and attached the smart gun, at the end of the gun he had a decal of a dragon with its mouth open, so it would look like the dragon was spitting fire when he would shoot it. 

[i] "damn colonist want to go out by them selves thinks the planet is safe."[/i] Durk thought

He shrugged his shoulders he grabbed a small case and opened it up, it contained different colors of paints. He smeared green paint over his face, then he grabbed black and smeared it in some areas on his face. Then he put brown on, he grabbed a well worn metal tin he opened it. He grabbed a big pinch of chewing tobacco and put it in his lip. He closed the tin and attached it to his armor, he shut the locker door and walked out of the barracks.

 He wished he could have some incendiary weaponry but he wasn't a high enough rank for it or explosives, but maybe he might get some if shit hits the fan on this foreign planet. Once out side he spit making a brown stain on the grass, he saw his cousin doc already out side he checked his equipment one more time. He made sure his pistol was loaded and that he had enough ammo. He walked up next to doc giving him a nudge and giving him head nod [i] "durk dragon reporting for duty sir"[/i] Durk shouted with that he saluted the sergeant.
