Life in the Joint

August 18, 2006 10:01:08 PM

From the diary of Leonidas Shinra:

Two days before leaving for Tadath Military Academy

To all those reading this, forgive me for my writing as my mind has a tendency to wander around, that and I'm probably going to be busy with my training and classes. Just bear with me. I'll pull up a few of my written entries and enter them here to explain some things, just to make it easier on y'all.

3 months ago: Hiya! Name's Leonidas Shinra. I'm a full-fledged Imperial citizen and former Coruscanti military brat. My parents were both in the Imperial military and I followed their footsteps in the Imperial army. Err, then I got out, and then I got back in, in a different branch. This journal will serve as a record of my time in basic training, Drill Platoon #66 in fact.

1 week ago: Well, it's through and done. I've signed my life to the Stormtrooper Corps. And to think, it's only been three months since I got out of the regular army that I was approached by one of them, a corps recruiter. At least, I think it was a corps recruiter. He introduced himself as such anyway, but to me he seemed a bit strange. We talked my options and benefits over in a bar.

"You receive training that will prepare you to compete with the best and brightest," he concluded up after going on for around ten minutes.

I admit, back then I was pretty skeptical. I mean, I did just get out of the Imperial Army and wanted to use my money to get a real education. But this recruiter _---- went by the surname Renkar-- really sold me on the benefits of leadership training and how it would help me in my endeavors. He told me he was going to stay in contact all throughout my training. I wonder if this is standard procedure for newcomers. Scary.

Here I was thinking I was just going to lead a quiet life after a relatively quiet service period, getting an education and settling down on an avian ranch. That's life for ya, I guess, always callin' when you least expect it. Hell, my parents weren't exactly enthusiastic when I said I wanted to reenlist as a stormtrooper cadet.

"I just want you to get on with your life, and forget all this rubbish about heroes," my dad told me once. Yeah right.

3 days ago: I got my military ID, which was pretty sweet and looked the part also. Here I was thinking all the big militaries had big bureaucracies and that everything moved slower than a Sarlacc's guts, but these Corps people really had their act together. Kudos to them; maybe I should buy them a round or so.

Today at 0936: A lot of the conversations I've had with my friends about this business of me joining always turn to war. Well, of course we're in a war with the New Republic on a near-constant basis. From all the newsbriefs I've been hearing, though, we seem to win every time -- probably propaganda, but then again, maybe not.

Today at 1508: I've always watched war holos growing up, my personal heroes which I will not reveal here for fear of being ridiculed. Just know that they were very cheesy holos. As for me going into battle, if my army training is correct, it will be a one-sided massacre for those Republic punks. It will be glorious and honorable to fight in the name of the new Empire.

'Tis true I've never met a citizen of the New Republic, despite having grown up on Coruscant. We moved to the Tadath before the Empire fell because of my father's job in logistics (supply for you non-military types).

Today at 1900: I guess that's enough of my past entries for now. Gotta get back to getting my things in order, you know. I'll keep you updated on my present situation as soon as possible. This'll be great!

May the Force be with you guys and gals out there!

Note: This fictional blog is based upon real life experiences by the author's "real life" alter-ego. In other words, I really am going through military training. I won't guarantee a new entry every day but I'll try to keep it to a schedule. Months in planning, hehehe.
