"Hey guys, remember that Ackart guy from a few days ago?" Ryou asked as he sat down with the rest at the poor excuse of a chow hall.
"Uhh...Yeah, why?" Honda asked.
Ryou laughed a little. "Turns out he's going to be a squad leader for some of us." he said.
"Really? Know who?" Sugi asked.
Ryou nodded. "Err yeah, let me think...Oh! It was Anna, Seto, Honda, and a few other guys." he said.

"Okay, then who's gonna be leading you guys?" Anna asked.

"Some guy named Brenin, I think." Jounouchi said.
"At least, that's what I heard."
Honda laughed. "Hey, if they're starting to figure that stuff out, maybe it means we'll get to get out and do some real soldiering!"
Sugi just laughed and shook her head.

(I...am...back...)
"Yeah, Sgt. Ackart's squad is Alpha, Brenin's leadin' Bravo." said one of the soldiers from a long table near the others'. A younger soldier next to the one who'd just spoken laughed. "Hah! Sorry for whoever gets thrown in with Ackart! Guy's got a reputation 'round here for bein' a real 'up-tight' dirt-bag!--Ow!"
The first who'd spoked elbowed the other. "Naw, man! Th' Sarge is cool! He's a bit tough at first, but yah can't deny that he's a good guy! Sgt. Brenin's a bit arrogant, but when it comes down to it, he's a good leader too."
After that, the conversations were over between the group of friends and the other two.
Seto raised an eyebrow. "Well...This sounds like it will be....interesting..."
Sugi shrugged and smiled. "Arrogant, eh? I always seem to get stuck with leaders of that sort. Hmm, I think I recall that my team-leader at basic was like that...What was his name again....? Oh! I remember! Seto Kaiba!" she said with a smirk and a laugh.
Seto blushed- not enough to be noticeable- and muttered something under his breath.
Jounouchi laughed hard. "Oh yeah! Kaiba was a real jackass back then!"
Honda smirked. "Is he really that much better now?"
Ryou was laughing too, but he was almost able to maintain a straight face while he spoke. "Oh, come on guys! Knock it off!"

"You guys were makin' fun of me. Now it's Seto's turn," Kiba said with a smirk.
"Well it's not his fault he's so superior," Anna said sarcastically.

"Course not! It's yours!" Sugi accused sarcastically. Seto said nothing and instead cocentrated on his lunch.

Anna gave Sugi a confuzzled look, then continued to eat her lunch.

It was three weeks later, and everybody was now familiar with their squads and leaders.
"Finally! Some action!" Seto said, but it might not have been heard over the excited ramblings of his other squad members as they all readied their gear. Tonight they were going on a raid! Bravo squad had already done the recon for the mission and had provided tons of information. They had taken all kinds of photos, and even some video clips, not to mention getting the grid of the place and giving a detailed instruction as to how to get to the house in question.
"Hey! Listen up, now!" came the booming, gravely, but oddly pleasant voice of Sgt. Ackart. "I'm sure you're all aware, but shortly we'll be on our way to relieve some little hajji's of a few hundred pounds of IED materials, and bring those responsible to a lovely little place where they can meet up with all the other detainees. So, get your asses in gear! I'm sick of waitin' around for you lazy children!" he said.
There was a roar from the others, some carrying enthusiastic messages, others using some very colorful words of contempt for the latter comments of the announcement.

Anna was readying her gear. She was nervous, though at the same time excited.

Honda showed up from seemingly nowhere to give Anna an overly hard pat on the back. "How, yah doin'?!" he asked loudly, grinning 'ear-to-ear'.

Anna jumped slightly, though you couldn't tell since at the same time she was pushed down a bit by Honda. "I'm...doing fine. What about you?" she replied, turning to face him.

Before Honda had a chance to asnwer, the sergeant yelled again, calling the whole lot of them into formation. There were ten of them altogether, and they were now being packed tightly outside into humvees.
Seto ended up next to Honda, who in turn was beside Anna. Soon they were off.

"So...are you guys excited?" Anna said in a horrible attempt at making some sort of conversation.

"As excited as you can be when crammed into a humvee with a bunch of sweaty G.I.'s." Honda said with a laugh.
Seto laughed a little. "Feels good to finally be doing something useful!"
Soon they were at the drop off point, and were all made to dismount. They would be going the rest of the way on foot.
