The station is packed with hundreds of young men, waiting for the same train. As the train pulls in your mother gets all teary eyed and gives you a big hug, Dad smiles and shakes your hand.

"Good luck son, I know you will make us proud."

"Please write us!" your mother says.

You smile, "Miss you two already."

The train is already packed, as you walk past all the taken seats you notice three are open. You take a quick note of they are next to.

You put your suitcase in the compartment above, when you look down the bald man reaches out for a hand shake.

"Michael Elmore" he says with a bright smile.
You introduce yourself and take a seat.

"So Mr. Grant, mind if I ask where you are from?"

"My Father is a Military veteran. Ever since I was young I wanted to be just like him. Soon as I turned 18 I enlisted. Adventure, decent pay and a chance to see the world."

"Very noble of you. What MOS did you enroll in?"

"12 Mike, the militaries new mech division."

Elmore smiles, "That's great, that was my choice as well. Perhaps we can keep an eye out for one another? It's nice to have someone watching your back."

>A. Yeah, that sounds great.

>>609942
>>609963
I hope more show too. It's all good if you run the show though. And I'm assuming you meant to ask Elmore his story?

Already feeling a bit home sick and nervous, you decide that having a friend would be in your best interest. Elmore also made a great first impression.

"Yeah, that sounds great"

Elmore sounds relieved, "Oh, that's swell!"

"What made you enlist?"

"It's a rather sad story, I will give you the short version. My mother passed away, leaving me and my siblings alone. Being the oldest I had to take care of them. Neighbors are watching them right now, and when I graduate basic training I will move them on base with me."

"My grades were good, A's and B's. I know basics of vehicle and engine maintenance, I think it will help me with training, give me a head start."

Elmore groan, "Ugh, I did terrible in school. God awful grades, it was a miracle I even graduated."

He's not strong, and he didn't do well in school. In the back of your mind you wonder if you made a mistake aligning yourself with Elmore.

You and Elmore get more familiar with one another as the trip progresses. He is seems like a really decent guy and are sure you will end up being great friends. You still can't help but worry he may cause you problems with the Drill Sergeants.

The train reaches it's destination, as it pulls in you notice a line of buses waiting for your arrival.

"Hey, we should sit next to each other the bus too.", Elmore chimes in.

It seems like a good idea to stick together, but you still have those negative thoughts about Elmore.

>A. Yeah good idea.

He may not be the strongest, fastest or had the best grades, but every military recruit has the potential to be someone great. You feel a bit of guilt and shake it off.

You give Elmore a smile, "Yeah good idea."

The two of you get the last seat on a bus and give each other a nod. You can't help but feel anxious and excited. When you get off this bus it will be the real deal. Six weeks of basic training, after that you will be trained in the Mech division for another six. The bus is loud, people whispering to one another but begin to start talking over one another.

A large man enters the bus in military uniform.

"SHUT YOUR MOUTH'S"

Everyone quickly goes silent.

"I better not hear a god damn peep out of any of you! If I have to turn around and say anything while I am driving, I will pull the bus over and fuck you up."

He pull out a wad of chew and sticks it in his mouth.

"Any questions?"

You know better and keep your mouth shut. Your father let you know to never back talk or question a Drill Sergeant.

"Yeah I have a question, are you always this way, or are you just upset you and your boyfriend are fighting?"

All heads turn in horror to see who was stupid enough to say something like that.

The Drill Sergeant slowly walks to the back of the bus to confront the deadman. Drill Sergeant
towers over the young man.

"What's your name son?"

Deadman didn't seem realize how big this man was until he reached him.

"Lance McKee"

"Private Mckee, you seem like a real bad-ass, and a natural born leader. I bet you are also real popular with the ladies aren't you son?"

"Uh, yeah, of course!"

"Private Mckee, the army is truly blessed to have a man such as yourself to be joining our ranks. Since you had the balls to question me, you can have some of this chew, would you like some?

Oh god don't do it

"Mckee looks smug and looks at the faces on the bus for approval,

"Yeah sure, thanks guy."

"Open your mouth."

Mckee looks confused.

"Open. Your. Fucking. Mouth."

Oh my god

Mckee opens his mouth and the Drill Sergeants spits all of his chew into it. Mckee's face, mouth and parts of his shirt are covered in it.

"This is not your fucking army! You only speak when told to do so, I'm not your friend, you do not call me buddy, friend or guy, you little fucking shit. All the Drill Sergeants will know your name, your face and by the time this is all over, you will wish you were fucking dead!"

The rest of ride is in complete silence.

>>610720
how can someone be that fucking dumb?

>>610739
You would be surprised, I kid you not. There is always a few that test and push the Drill Sergeant. I'm not even kidding.

>>610720

>>610756
I hope they get what they deserve.

>>610720

When the bus makes it to base Drill Sergeant driver yells to get the hell out of his bus, people try to claw past one another to get off. You and Elmore are first off and are greeted right away by more Drill Sergeants, suitcases open, dump everything out.

Your father told you to pack light and you did. You get yelled at for no particular reason.
Elmore dumps his suit case, a single pair of shirt pants and socks fall out.
He gets yelled at for be poor and lazy and accused of only joining for money.

You are moved to a large staging area and ordered to strip, all of your possessions are taken from you. You stand in line with hundreds of naked men waiting to get your gear.

"Name, last, first"

"Grant, Benjamin."

You are about average size, and the running you have been doing helps with your figure and balance. You get 5 pairs of uniforms, socks, underwear and boots. You are charged Twenty-four dollars for everything, two dollars more than what you make in a month. You are ordered to put underwear and socks on.

You go through the rest of processing, physical, you get countless shots, including one in your butt. Ouch. You are told to put on a uniform and herded along with the other to a track. You wait for one of the Drill Sergeants to call you name and join his platoon. Drill Sergeant Crumb calls your name and you hurry over to him and told to stand in formation with the rest. Elmore is also assigned to your platoon. He seems very please by this. After everyone has been sorted out you are moved to your platoon Barracks. You and Elmore bunk together. He calls top before you can say anything and gets his locker situated.

Drill Sergeant Crumb calls everyone together and tells this weeks. He informs you that you will have classes on military tactics, after that you will have a 10 mile ruck march and an obstacle course.

It's 0500, you have your gear ready to go. The platoon is woken up and ordered to be at the staging area in 10 mins, no body is to be late, Drill Sergeant takes his leave. Drill Sergeant Crumb had the platoons find nice big rocks to put into their packs late last night. Your ruck is heavy and you are tired.

It's better not to chance it. Most importantly, it wouldn't kill you to get some strength training.
You finish the 10 miles, you aren't tired but your shoulders are killing you, it feels like they are on fire. The obstacle course is next, you have lots of energy but not confident in lifting and pulling yourself through it. Drill Sergeant Crumb tells everyone to make teams of 5. He tells everyone the team that is the fastest to complete the course will receive a prize. Everyone begins talking amongst themselves. You already know that the strong will try to join and weed out the weak.

Elmore attempts to pair himself with you. You don't mind, but you know that it will discourage the strongest people in the platoon to shun you.

You get to work and find, who you think are the strongest in the platoon. You and Elmore convince Private Stone, Bailey and Whitebuffalo to join you. You learn that Elmore is a real smooth talker. Might come in handy.

There are 10 obstacles, the first 5 are team based. Your team blazes through the first 5.

The last 5 are individual. There is a-
Tire course
Rope climb,
A rope you must shimmy across above a body of water
Barbwire you crawl under

You got the barbwire you say. Elmore attempts the tire course, he is slow but precise. WhiteBuffalo climbs the rope no problem, Stone gets across the body of water. Despite your shoulder pain your make quick work and get past the barbwire. Bailey powers through the mud.

After the rest of the teams finish, Drill Sergeant Crumb declares your team the fastest. He begins to smoke the other teams, push ups, sit ups, jumping jacks. Plenty struggle, some vomit, a few cry cause of the pain.
You feel bad for them, but your team looks relieved that isn't them.

>A. We should be doing this with them.

We will make a leader out of you.

"If one fails, we all fail."

You get down with the rest and begin to push. You hurt so much, you're so tired. This benefits your body in no way, but you know it's the right thing to do. Elmore is quick to join you.

"We got this!", he yells

Stone, Bailey and Whitebuffalo stare in disbelief. Stone lets out a deep, hearty laugh,
"Fuck it, I could use the exersice."

The others begin to join you. Drill Sergeant lets out a little laugh, "One army, one fight."

>>A. Ask Whitebuffalo

Out of the three you know Whitebuffalo is the probably the strongest, you ask the wall of a man to work with you. He's always been stoic, he agrees without showing any emotion. You practice what you were shown, blocks, throws, grapples and strikes. You take turns going through the motions slowly getting the techniques down. It's clear that if you ran into someone like Whitebuffalo on the battlefield he would kill you.

>A. Practice grapples

>B. Practice dodging

>C. Ask, how do I defeat you? (70)

You focus on grapples, despite you strength disadvantage. Whitebuffalo is patient with you and gives you some advice on how not to get killed. He explains that you will rarely be alone. All you need to do is hold off an enemy, a team mate will just come in and shoot him while you two struggle. Though not most confidence boosting training, it may keep you alive one day. You also know if you fight anyone weaker than Whitebuffalo they will seem like shit.

Whitebuffalo thanks you for the practice time. It really helped him get down the movements and techniques down. If you ever need help or need to practice let me know.

You and your team are in the middle of the woods. Private Elmore, Whitebuffalo, Johnson and Mckee are with you. Mckee has been nothing but dead weight. Drill Sergeant dumped teams in the woods and said you had to catch your food, or not eat all. You have about 20 hours until the team is picked up.

Mckee has something to say, "Whitebuffalo, you should know how to catch us some food. Help us out man."

For the first time you Whitebuffalo shows some sort emotion, shame.

"I hate to admit but I do not. I know what vegetation is safe to but that nobody wants to just eat that."

Elmore says, " We watch and take food from another group."

The team looks to you for a decision, looks like you are the leader/

You notice the team, but they don't know it. You, Johnson and Whitebuffalo leave the camp fire and flank the strangers. They are recruits you don't recognize, probably from another platoon. Even though you are out numbered you jump all 5 and beat them all.

"Mercy! Stop! I yield!", they scream.

"Don't hide like thieves, if you wanted some food you should have asked.", you say.

You all join the campfire, there was no way the five of you could have eaten everything. The group says thanks and retreats to their camp after they eat. Elmore begins to laugh.

Mckee looks annoyed, "Hey guy, what's so funny?"

"You beat the shit out of them and they thanked us!"

Everyone erupts in laughter and for a moment you aren't all home sick.

If you see a number next to an option that's to let you guys know that if its voted for there will be rolling.

>>613171
If you guys roll 100's, they are miracle actions. As for other rolls, I take into account much you succeed or fail by.

I'll be starting back up in 10 mins.

Good timing OP...

I just finished doing everything I needed to do today, let's get this show on the road...

You fire and empty two en bloc clips.

After everyone finish's a Drill Sergeant you never seen before escorts you down range to check how you did.

"Private, did you miss all of your shots?"

You walk through the 50-150 meter targets.

"I only fired on the furthest targets Drill Sergeant."

"What the hell private."

Thank god, you nailed every single one. Drill Sergeant counts all the bullet holes.

"Well I'll be damned, you are a natural private. Now get the hell out of my face."

The class is a decent size, most of the recruits enjoyed their free time and relaxed. You are given a training manual and a group to work with and a vehicle. A mechanic tell you all to find out whats wrong with and fix it. See ya in an hour.

People seem to listen you, one recruit protests but when the rest fall in line he does too. Everyone gets to work. After checking for outside damage you group finds some leaks underneath the vehicle.

That can't be all.

You open the hood and tell someone to start the vehicle up.

It sounds like shit.

"Turn it off!" you yell.

The team gathers around the hood. After 15 mins you think you found the problem.

Can I fix it? I think I can...

"What now?" someone asks

You and one other get to work on the engine, the rest attempt to stop the leaks underneath.

"I think we got it.", your partner says

"Do ya now?"

The mechanic has returned. He opens a small note book and begins walking around the vehicle. He looks under, stand up and takes a note. He comes over and checks out the engine.

"Start it up."

The engine sounds much better, I think we got it.

The mechanic seems very impressed. He is soon displeased to learn that only 1 of you is becoming an army mechanic. He takes his leave.

You and the other that helped shake hands and smile. You learn his name, Rodger Pinkerton.
You guys shoot the shit and learn you both are going into the Mech division.

"You want to be a pilot?" you ask

"Me? Nahhh, just want to work on them. I got to get going, I'll see you around Grant."

Week 6

It's the start of graduation week, everyone is excited. You have 3 days in the field running missions. After that it's smooth sailing.

Drill Sergeant Crumb steps out of his office,
"Private Grant, Post!"

"Moving Drill Sergeant!"

"Word has been getting around that you've been doing an exceptional job. We have field training up, squads will be given a mission and a time frame to complete them. I will be promoting you to squad leader if you want it."

"Thank you Drill Sergeant."

"Get out of my office, Private Grant."

You, WhiteBuffalo, Stone, Jackson are all promoted to squad leader positions. Drill Sergeant tell you all to make a team of 10 by tomorrow morning. You feel robbed by not being able to recruit Buffalo and Stone, but you can't always rely on them. Time to try to get the pick of the litter.
Elmore asks if he gets to be in your team.

Pick options you want, in order you want to recruit.

>A. Try to recruit the fastest in the platoon

>B. Try to get the Strongest

>C. Try to get recruits that did well on the firing range

>D. Pick recruits who did well during survival training.

>E. Take Elmore in the team

>F. Write-In

>>614118
>>C. Try to get recruits that did well on the firing range

>>614118
>F get a mix of all.
Let Elmore in.

>>614118

Survival training probably encompasses a reasonably broad range of useful skills, and we don't know exactly what we are going up against...

We should take the recruits that aced the survival courses...

> D

I'll give you guys some time to vote, going to take a lunch break. I'll be back in about an hour.

>>614125
Agreed. Try to get an all around even team.
>Try to recruit first from D then C.

>>614118
>Generally solid if not exceptional recruits
>Elmore

>>614118
>E
Elmore is average so even though he doesn't have any advantage in states, he doesn't lack in other ones. A good well rounder.

>F
A fusion of C, and D since strength doesn't seem to be an advantage in this situation unless we get into close combat. Having the other ones would let us be able to ambush them, and fire from a distance, plus set up traps.

>>614118
>>614125
>E. Take Elmore in the team

>B. Try to get the Strongest

>A. Try to recruit the fastest in the platoon

>C. Try to get recruits that did well on the firing range

>D. Pick recruits who did well during survival training.

You let Elmore join, he isn't exceptional in any area but he is a well rounded recruit, you two work well together too.

With the two of you, still need 8 more.

You will probably out in the elements by yourselves, who knows how long a mission will run. Finding recruits who did well in survival training my be a good idea. You also hear that you will be given rifles with simulation rounds. Going to need solid marks men. Fill the rest of the slots with decent recruits that are left over.

You get to recruiting.

You feel like you have the most capable team you could have gotten. Drill Sergeant writes down the squads rosters and puts the platoon on a bus. You are taken to an armory and given modified M1 Garands. After weapons are given its back to the bus and driven to the woods You reach a clearing with 6 small buildings. Private Chance tells you they train radio operators out here.
As soon as you hop off your squad is taken for a mission briefing. You take notes.

Staff Sergeant Robinson gives you the details.

"At 1300 hours yesterday, our recon took enemy contact in these woods. Sadly, Corporal Standly went MIA. 0800 this morning we got word that rebels are holding him in an abandoned village. We think they will soon bargain his life for supplies or passage out. Your mission to to infiltrate, and retrieve Corporal Standly and get him to an evac point, a bird will come retrieve him and you are to make it back here. Any questions?

Need to know what he looks like, or we can't even complete the mission.

"What does the Corporal look like?"

"He is five foot 8, about 230 pounds, he is also has a blue birth mark on the back of his neck."

"Enemy numbers and weapons?"

"Recon took fire from at least 12." They have
Karabiners and one Maschinengewehr 34. Best to avoid that."

"You will Have 12 hours to complete your mission or it is considered a failure. Your time begins when you step off. Now, we will issue a radio. If something goes wrong or you get lost use it to contact HQ."

Who is charge of the radio?

>Pick from roster.

>>614637

"Man, this is heavy"

Chance slips the radio off after adjusting the straps and does a radio test with HQ. You are given a map of the area. Recon says the village is about 8 miles from our starting point. Terrain can be rough. Mostly woods, but hills and to the north and more open area to the south. Either one can hinder or benefit us.

Maybe we can find another way?

You check the time, it's 1400. At 1430 we are given ammo and begin the mission. You have time to study the map

I was too late. Still better now, then in a more serious situation.

You feel like you are missing something obvious, but can't find anything that stands out on the map.

The Villiage is east almost 8 miles. If you take the squad north east it will be dense trees and mountains. If you go straight east its miles of woods. Nice concealment and the straightest course. If you go try cutting south then east the woods begin to clear and you will reach open fields. You can move quickly but if there is an unknown element the higher up throw at you, you will be exposed.

The village is circled by trees, except directly north. There are cliff that would give you a look out point. You could possible make your way down directly in.

The Evac point is two miles east of the village, through the woods into a clearing where you he will be taken from your care.

fuck now I am wondering whats the thing on the map we did no saw

QUESTION TO THE OP:
Is the whole quest playing in 1940? Are you planning to include fantasy elements/enemies?


Very well written untill now

>>614797

Thanks! First time running, kind of nervous.

Depending on how it goes, you guys will go through the decades, 40's, 50's, 60's and so forth.

The technology will advance as you do. You guys can research technology and weapons for you Mechs as you progress. Mechs right now are more tank like than anything, when the invention of computers comes around and other science you can get more freedom with what you do.

>>614831
Nice, Korean War with mechs fighting off waves of screaming Chinese

>>614831
will tanks be a thing? I mean...it would make sense for the military to have multiple different armored forces, especially in this time.

>>614781
>>614787
>>614788
>>614797


North east is going to be rough to through, but you feel confident your squad can do it. Your Squad is given ammo out the back of a truck.

>10 en-bloc clips added to inventory (80 rounds)

Your time begins. 12 hours until mission failure.

You quickly pull out the map and give your squad the info. North East, we will have a couple miles of woods, then we hit a mix of those and mountains and hills. As you say it, you feel annoyed and frustrated.

Am I missing something?

It hits you. You aren't fighting real enemies. I mean, there are guys out there trying to stop us, but they are soldiers stationed here. No way in hell they walk from here, 8 miles to just train recruits...

You find it. An underground tunnel on the map, you almost missed it. It's easy to glance over, but there is even a dirt road connecting for vehicles to move in and out of.

Is it guarded though?

>A. Change of plans, I found a quicker way

"Forget what I just said, change of plans."

The squad sighs in relief,
Oh thank god
Yessssss
I don't hate you anymore Grant.

The tunnel is brought to everyone's attention.

"That tunnel is going to be guarded, no way it's not."

You look over at Flagg.

"Is that a problem?"

He grins, "No, of course not fearless leader. I was hoping to get some actions anyways."

We take the South then East route, but when we get here, there, we break off and the tunnel isn't too far away. About 3 miles. Let's go.

You push your squad, taking a fast pace. You stop twice when you hear something off, but it was just the wild life. You stop everyone and check the map. Yeah, it's around here.

You move everyone slowly and silently, you see it and tell everyone to get down.

Concealed in the wood line, you look out over a tiny hill and see the tunnel, its' 250 meters away. There's fence around it, top covered in barbwire. There's also a gate but that's open. You see 4 men around a table playing a card game, their weapons are together, propped against the fence.Their uniforms are turned inside out letting you know that they are playing as Op Force. There is also a jeep near by, it has a radio in it.
