I love you, I won't kill you

At around [-]:[-] p.m. on the day after the recruits' insignia ceremony, Amanda was wearing the uniform of the women's army and sat safely in the co-pilot of a large Chevrolet SUV.I didn't find my father Nelson's car in the rearview mirror. Judging from the situation, it should be kept by the commander of the base.Maybe the two old guys are still drinking beer and eating an officer-standard buffet in the base restaurant.

Starting from Barris Island at the southern tip of South Carolina, take Interstate 95, and then turn to Interstate 26, Vincent's car can be driven directly outside the town of Jasmine.The speed of the car is not fast, and the speed of the SUV is always maintained at about 100 kilometers per hour.With soothing country music blaring from the car radio, it all seemed cozy.

Lowering the back of the seat, Amanda half-lyed on the seat, staring at the scenery outside the car window, "Is this what you call the headquarters conscription plan? If I had known earlier, I should have brought Elena in, didn't I just take a few photos phase?"

Vincent held the steering wheel, turned his head and glanced at his sister, "Hehe, yes, it's just a photo for a few print posters. It's a matter of discussion between the headquarters and the commander of the base to choose you as the image of a new Marine Corps soldier. The problem."

Amanda still said slowly, "Because I got the marksman's medal? Or is it because I'm your sister?"

Vincent turned down the volume of the radio, and then explained, "The reason you mentioned is not the most fundamental factor in my opinion, although you have already broken the marksman's shooting record. Well, your shooting performance is still Really good! It seems that the recruits who will come to train in the future will not easily break your record."

Amanda didn't pay much attention to what Vincent said.But in the ensuing years, it seemed that God really was protecting the little girl.The base's rifle shooting record has always been held by Amanda.In the No.1 position of the top scorer list, her photos and shooting records have never given the recruits who followed the camp training a better reason to replace her.

"The most fundamental factor? Come on, it's not in your headquarters office, and you don't have the head of the training department directing your work. You know I trust you, don't you?"

"Hehehe, the little girl of the McLaren family, it's finally time to trust others. Apart from father, don't you even trust me and Billy? Wait, see this for yourself." Vincent After a burst of laughter, he took a document bag from the bridge and handed it to Amanda.

"What is this? Well, let me think about it, it won't be my retirement notice, right? Ha ha!" Amanda opened the file bag and took out a file while joking.

From the title, this is a letter of recommendation.The specific content is generally speaking that during the recruit training period at Balis Island, Amanda performed excellently and achieved outstanding results in various trainings.Could be the face of this year's Marine Corps recruiting ad.In addition, she has already met the admission criteria under the selection conditions of the midshipmen.It can also be used as a directional training for future Marine Corps officers.

Amanda was very curious about who wrote this letter of recommendation for her. She stared at Vincent and said, "This is impossible! How is this possible? Don't tell me, it was written by Colonel Dana, the commander of the base?"

"Of course he didn't write it. Besides, the colonel and I don't have the ability to recommend you to midshipman school. You can see who signed it."

When Amanda looked down hastily, a strange name jumped into sight: Matt Balfour.Who is this person? In Amanda's memory, she doesn't seem to know this man surnamed Balfour.After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Who is this person? I don't know him. Do you know him?"

"We'll be on Route 10 in another 26 minutes. What are you talking about? Oh, I didn't know this person before I received the letter of recommendation. But after that, I asked about it."

Amanda turned off the radio smoothly, "What did you find out? It can't be a general of the Marine Corps, right? Even if it is, I wouldn't trust a general to be interested in writing a letter of recommendation for a recruit."

Vincent glared at Amanda, reached out and turned on the radio again, "Hey, what are you doing? How can you not listen to music for such a long time?"

Amanda turned off the radio again, "Captain, I'm waiting for you to tell me the truth. Otherwise, I'll take the damn radio down! You better believe it!"

"Well, well, I'm afraid of you! Listen, this man is a member of the Senate of Congress. As a member of the Military Intelligence Committee, he has the decision-making power to determine the allocation of the Marine Corps budget. Now you understand ?”

Senator, Amanda couldn't believe her ears.He hurriedly said, "Congressman? Damn, such a big title, it will crush me to death. I don't want to get involved with any Congressman. Besides, my training results are obvious to all, not any officer or sergeant long fabricated."
