[center][h3][color=00aeef]Private First Class Linda Vogel[/color][/h3][/center] [hr] Linda could not believe her misfortune! First of all, she just arrived in Fort Breda today on a truck and had one heck of a ride all the way over to the base. Though Linda enjoyed the travel, the amount of time that she had to stay seated on the way took its toll on her body. Second, Linda found out first hand about the flaws of military bureaucracy. Upon reaching Fort Breda, she found out that the squad she was supposed to link up with was in fact already deployed. This turn of events left Linda miffed as she scrambled to figure out just what the heck she was supposed to do. Her superiors directed her to the vehicle bay, where she met the oh-so-lovely Sergeant on this fine day. The rest is history. Linda stayed silent and at attention as the Sergeant continued with his little masquerade, careful not to lock her knees. She already hated this guy, though he was of superior rank and if there was one thing that Linda was taught in boot camp it was to respect a superior officer. Still, the treatment that he showed this particular squad was....interesting. Upon hearing the sergeant's question Linda quickly snapped a salute to the sergeant and replied "Yes sir!" She stayed at attention until the sergeant left, upon which after hearing the comment about her name and the pet name she was given by him she closed her eyes, put her palm on her face, and sighed in frustration. [i]Titmouse? Seriously? What is he, two?[/i] This berating only proved to foul Linda's mood more. Even so when the man waved to her Linda made sure not to be too insulting. The first impression was the most important, and apparently these people were going to be the ones to watch her back when she was deployed. Linda waved back to the man and took a step forward, reading his name-tag. [i]PFC Carn eh? Well, at least he's handsome. Gotta take pride in the little things, right mom?[/i] [color=00aeef]"Tell me that guy is not always like this...please."[/color] [@Raven_Operative]
