I’ve got to catch up with my sniping, since being
promoted I’ve spent far too much time on the damn radio than doing what I’m
supposed to be doing. There’s so few times where I feel like I’m doing
something worthwhile, this is not one of them. I want to be out in the field
but my team is a part of the QRF today so we’re spending it alert, waiting,
preparing. There’s a group out from the Danish Jaegers, they’ve been out there
for at least five days, soon we’ll have to bring them home and another target
is to be found, I only hope this time is our time.
Mike struts into the tent with his weapon over his
shoulders.
“Just heard, they’re being pulled out, no need for
QRF. Steady and easy.” I roll my eyes, I want to get out there again, I don’t
do well with sitting on my ass waiting when I could be out there with my boys
doing what we do best.
It’s been quiet for awhile, this length of quiet makes
me uneasy, we’re at war and quiet is a bad sign.
“Tucker,” Paul starts, “Any news from home?” I cross
my ankles and put my hands behind my neck.
“No news.” No news, no damn news. They’re just going
to leave us here, twisting in the wind like bitches.
