I love you, I won't kill you

Just like the growth process of a school-age child from infancy to adulthood, at each corresponding age stage, he must receive corresponding cultural and quality education until the day the school-age child is accepted by human society.

From this point of view, the Barris Island training camp should be Amanda's "kindergarten stage", although every marine who graduates from the training camp is unwilling to return to that ghost place after being killed.All the boys and girls who volunteer to join the Marine Corps, whether they want to or not, eventually learn how to be a good soldier.

Combat training at Quantico was "middle school" for most male Marines.However, at this time, Amanda or Elena still haven't waited until the day of graduation.

Elena's future position in the Marine Corps was safe and secure.As long as the Marine Corps Expeditionary Command is not breached by anyone or any country, she has almost nothing to do with the battlefield, blood, human body fragments, or after-effects of the battlefield.Unless she is willing to find newness for Amanda, or sit in the headquarters office and be bored in a daze, she will think of joining the troops that can go to the front line.

The "middle school stage" of the female student Corporal Easley is not the original 30-day combat training, and naturally it is not the current 10-week officer candidate course.Because she, like other colleagues who were approved to graduate after passing the grades, had to undergo advanced training after being commissioned as an officer.

Corporal Theresa Easley's "butter stick" (ensigned as a second lieutenant rank marked with a golden bar) on the shoulder of Corporal Theresa Easley will only be worthy of the name after pre-commissioning development training and post-commissioning advanced training In fact, it has to be adorned at both ends of the shoulders.Only in this way can she serve in various units of the Marine Corps without any controversy, thus embarking on the road of a future officer.

Qualified with all excellent results, making Amanda the comprehensive No.1 of the five officer cadet classes in the same period.Naturally, if there is no accident, she will also enter the Marine Corps Basic School in the base with Teresa wearing the rank of second lieutenant. After completing 21 weeks of military basic knowledge, junior officer duties, and military skills learning, she will become a member of the Marine Corps Basic School. A real officer.

However, the appearance of Vincent and Billy made everyone dumbfounded at the turning point in Amanda's career, and even Amanda herself did not accept this sudden fact for a while.Not only was she unable to accept it, but Elena or Megan, and of course Teresa were so surprised that they didn't know what to say.

Lieutenant Billy McLaren told his eldest brother and father that he would have a vacation early this year.But I waited and waited, but there was no order to take a vacation.It wasn't that his superiors didn't allow him time off, or that the U.S. Navy was being unkind, just because he was a Navy SEAL.

There are only a measly 200 SEALs on active duty in the entire U.S. military.No matter what kind of legal or illegal missions are performed, as long as they are anywhere on the earth, these 200 men can be seen.Billy is one of them. He loves this profession, and he is even more proud of being a member of the Navy SEALs.

Just as Amanda was finishing her midshipman program, Billy, at Naval Station Catalina, Florida, was ordered to take a leave of absence.This vacation is really rare, because there are two full weeks for him to go back to his hometown in South Carolina to see his aging father.

Not only can I go home to visit my father, but I also have plenty of time to spend with my elder brother Vincent and younger sister Amanda.The warmth of the family, the reunion of relatives, how happy and happy it is.After a moment of daze, Billy jumped up excitedly from the bed with a paper order.

Before dinner that afternoon, after briefly packing up his personal belongings, he ran to the parking lot of the base with his marching rucksack.In my dusty lake-blue Chevrolet Corelado pickup truck, I sped north along Highway 95 from the Florida Naval Base.

The double-row, four-door heavy-duty pickup truck is completely worthy of the title of "big mac on land".The square-headed and square-brained exterior design is full of explicit tough and rough muscle.That makes it as fast on the road as Vincent's Chevrolet full-size luxury SUV.Coupled with the large displacement of 6.2 liters and the high-speed V8 engine, it is a pure American "gas-eating tiger" when driving.

From the southernmost naval base in Florida to his hometown in South Carolina, it takes 630 and a half hours to drive 1014 miles (about 9 kilometers).The journey was less than 10 hours, and in Billy's words, it was easier than going to Afghanistan.

If Billy wanted to, he could drive the car to a top speed of over 320 kilometers per hour.I believe that by driving back to South Carolina at this high speed, he will be able to drink beer and chat with his father Nelson in a beer hall in no more than 4 hours.

Nerves are tightened every day, 24-hour alert, training to fight against enemies around the world, this is all Billy's work content.But when he was on vacation to relax, why did he let himself be so energetic.

At about 4 o'clock the next morning, Billy was still in such good spirits that he drove the car to the side of the road beside the small garden in front of his house.Looking at the Luminos 500-meter waterproof watch of the SEAL standard on the wrist, the trip took only 9 hours in total.Smiling in satisfaction, he turned around and got out of the car with his marching rucksack and walked towards his small villa.

.....................

"Congratulations, sir." Sergeant Major Griffiths put the "butter stick" in the male cadet's hand, and shook the other's hand at the same time.

"Thank you, sergeant major!" The male cadet replied calmly, staring at the sergeant major with confident eyes.

"Congratulations, sir," said the sergeant major to the second cadet.

"Thank you, Sergeant Major!" the male cadet replied.

When he walked in front of Amanda, Griffith's face remained unchanged, "Congratulations, ma'am!"

"Thank you, Sergeant Major!" Amanda was very excited and happy because she graduated.

Next came Teresa and two other female colleagues, also excitedly took over the rank badge from the sergeant major's hand.Less than 10 minutes later, the 100 men and women in white dress caps, khaki long-sleeved shirts and navy blue dress trousers had officially become junior officers of the Marine Corps.

A few officials from the training department of the base and a few senior military officers stood in front of them, looking at this group of young officers who had just graduated with a smile, it seemed that without saying a word, they could represent that they were the same as the group of young people in the audience back then. Excited and happy.

"Oh...ha!" All the young officers present threw their white officer caps into the air at the same time to celebrate the hard work and more than doubled efforts in the past 10 weeks.

Vincent, who was dressed in khaki military uniform, and Billy, who was in civilian clothes, stood outside the playground not far away and stared at his sister who was laughing happily from time to time.Billy smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, when I graduated from Midshipman School, I was as happy as her."
