OOC:
So I decided to incorporate my actual experiences with Marine Corps Boot Camp into a story.  Probably gonna be pretty long and lots of fun.  Hope you guy enjoy.


It was 2345.  Razor had been on shuttles all day that were speeding him toward Tadath and his future life as a Stormtrooper in service of them Empire.  He had been told that he wouldn't sleep for the first four days of his training but it didn't matter.  He was so excited he couldn't even sleep.  He sat on the shuttle trying to sleep but his body was pumped full of adrenaline.

Razor stepped off the speeder and was instantly herded into a huge building by a screaming instrucor. The other men and women huddled in little clusters confusedly looking around.  One of the other recruits looked at one of the instructors as if hoping for some sort of instruction.  The instructor exploded through the two recruits in between him and grabbed the recruit who had eyed him by the throat. 

"So you think you've earned the right to look at me huh?  You think you can just come into my training grounds and strut around like you own the goddam place huh?"

The recruit released a gurgled, "No sir!"

The instructor screamed incoherently and then finally yelled, "SCREAM OUT YOUR DAMN DISGUSTING FACE!"

The recruit was dropped and as he hit the floor he yelled, "Aye SIR."

All the recruits instantly locked their body into attention and pressed themselves hard against the wall.  They were careful to look past or through the instructors who were watching them.

A bear of a man strutted onto the deck in front of them and said, " Good evening recruits."

There was a long pause filled with awkward silence. 

The other instructors jumped on the recruits yelling that when something is said to them they will always have a verbal response.  No matter what. 

Razor just continued staring forward hardly realizing that his mouth was releasing the words aye sir. The recruits were herded down a passageway into a classroom filled with seats.  Razor and the other classmates were told to put their heads down on the desks and wait.  The room was freezing cold but it didn't matter.  Every recruit passed out within seconds of being sat down in the room. 

For Razor what seemed like seconds later the door slammed open and an instructor yelled, "Good, you all think you can just sleep without being told to?  Get outside right now."

All the recruits shuffled up.  The instructor began slamming recruits into the walls screaming that they weren't moving fast enough. The Instructor took them outside.  The Sun was rising.  Razor had no idea how long he had been inside of the building. The Instructor pulled them over to a pit filled with sand and yelled at them to push.  They did push ups until recruits were collapsing.  Then he made them roll over and do bicycle crunches until their abs were burning. 

They went back inside when the sun was high in the sky.  A civilian came into the classroom and handed them all their service record books.  It was the start of the first and one of the longest days of recruit training at the recruit training depot on Tadath.

OOC:
WC:563  Hopefully the start to a long thread.  That was the first night and beginning of the day of Recruit training.

After a shake down where they were stripped of their clothes and anything that would help them contact the world outside of the recruits were brought into a small room filled with cubicles. The recruits were filed around, measured and had ill fitting uniforms thrust upon them. They were sent off to medical and dental right after.

Razor was almost shaking from the tiredness.  He had already been open palm smacked in the face to get him to wake up.  He had been standing in the group formation and had been falling asleep while they were standing there.  His foot had shifted forward to catch him before he fell. 

Like a lightning strike the drill instructor was on top of him.  Screaming about moving in formation and getting discipline in their disgusting bodies.  The palm had come out of nowhere faster than a speeding blaster bolt.  It had slammed into Razor's sternum shifting him backward into the recruits behind him.

His sternum still pulsed along with his heartbeat when the doctor called him into the back examination room.  It was a standard physical.  A quick check for physical deformities.  A heart check and questions about past health issues.  Finally the doctor would check their reflexes.  The amount of time Razor had gone without sleep had put him in what felt like a hyper aware state.  The tapping of the small wooden hammer on his knees to check his reflexes felt like a battle axe thundering into his leg.

They were brought back into a large hall where they were forced to crush against each other and the wall.  Every drill instructor that passed them barked. Screaming something about them all being nasty pigs and them never leaving the island.  Razor saw the long and daunting road in front of him slowly getting longer and steeper.  From afar this had just looked like a hill. Now Razor was seeing it for the long, craggy, storm cloud covered mountain that it was.

After they stood in the hallway for what seemed like an eternity they were shuffled off to dental.  Their teeth were checked and they were x-rayed.  All recruits had to be declared physically and mentally capable to continue on in training or in these recruits case, to even start.

The recruits were again brought to the freezing cold classroom and put into the seats.  They sat down and right away they all faded away. The door opened quietly this time.  The drill instructors snuck in silent as shadows on walls.  These recruits had no idea what storm was about to come.

OOC:
