I love you, I won't kill you

Marine Corps Intelligence (one of 16 government intelligence agencies across the United States) is part of the Marine Corps Command.It is not only an administrative department under the Marine Corps Command, but also an independent intelligence department under the direct jurisdiction of the Department of Defense Intelligence Affairs.

Not only does it have the same administrative intelligence status as Army Intelligence, Naval Intelligence, and Air Force Intelligence, but it also belongs to the same administrative level as the US National Security Agency (NSA) where the "Prism Gate" incident occurred later.

Its immediate bosses include the Director of Marine Corps Intelligence, the Commander of the Marine Corps, the Secretary of the Navy, the Director of the Department of Defense Intelligence Services, and the Director of National Intelligence.Of course, the biggest "boss" (boss) of the Intelligence Department is the President of the United States.

Although the administrative relationship between the intelligence department and other agencies sounds complicated, it is not bad to be able to work in the administrative branch of Marine Corps Command.Just like Amanda's brother Vincent before he was transferred, he has a stable income and lives freely and happily on American soil.

Whether it is the "subprime housing credit crisis" that is currently sweeping the domestic and international financial industry and other industries, or several larger "financial turmoil" that will break out in the future, it is almost impossible to affect my career and personal life. Life.

"Sir, I am a pilot of the Marine Corps Air Wing. And, I like the blue sky and the feeling of flying freely in the sky. Intelligence Department? That department is not suitable for me." Amanda looked straight ahead and said one word One sentence has to be said seriously.

"Lieutenant, do you really think so?"

"Yes, sir. I hope one day I will be able to fly an AH-1Z 'Viper' (an upgraded model of the AH-1W) to patrol the oceans and lands that the Marines pass through, providing the best fire support .and I'll be proud to tell the Army bastards that our AH-1Z will not lose easily to the AH-64 'Apache'".

The major nodded in satisfaction, and glanced at the documents on the table again, "Very good, second lieutenant. If now, I let you serve as a frontline air controller. What do you think of this job?"

"Yes, sir. The two-month work results in the Law Enforcement Brigade and the Intelligence Battalion do not mean that I am qualified for the important flight position of an AH-1W pilot."

"Well, second lieutenant, sail away from sex, do you understand?"

"Yes, sir. I understand that this is a test for me by the squadron, group and air wing."

The major smiled and said, "Very good. Well, after all, it's a wartime state, and I need you to make all flight preparations while working, understand?"

Amanda had to say loudly again, "Whoah!"

"Second Lieutenant, come to the office at 0500 tomorrow. Dismiss."

"Yes, sir."

Frontline air controllers, also known as joint terminal attack controllers (JTAC, JointTacticalAttackController, synthetic tactical attack guidance)), refer to the provision of air fire support at close range in the complex forward positions where the enemy and the enemy are intertwined.Unlike the JTAC of the US Army and Air Force, the Marine Corps has its own air fire support, so it must have its own JTAC personnel.

Judging from the principle of the Marine Corps' selection of guest JTAC personnel, Amanda is a helicopter pilot, has received basic JTAC training, and has excellent Marine Corps pilot qualifications.So, she's a good fit for the position.

In her or Alena's early flying career, "disengagement flight" is popularly known as the rotation system in the US military.Rotation system to familiarize yourself with the working environment in other professions or friendly forces.Not only can it strengthen the understanding of foreign majors and foreign troops, but it can also strengthen the various combat connections of personnel at various levels.

The pilot rotation system of the Navy and Marine Corps is to let new pilots make a guest appearance in JTAC.The purpose of this is to allow new pilots to better understand the ground combat environment and operational requirements.

Today's lunch was settled in the restaurant of the aviation wing.Alena Franks, Talia Evans, and Corolla Clark took the three vacant seats next to and across from Amanda.

Alena frowned and looked at her, "The branch leader really asked you to do JTAC?"

Amanda continued to eat from her plate and said, "Mmmm."

Thalia propped her chin with her right hand, "Alena, don't worry. Amanda is just following the ground troops, and all she needs to do is make a few air calls to the command post."

Corolla also said from the side, "The sergeant is right. You know, Amanda is the core figure in the ground force."

"Central figure? Corolla, what do you mean?" Alena asked.

"Okay, I think you've returned everything you've learned to the Pensacola Aviation School." Amanda said bluntly to Alena after finishing her lunch.

"Come on, I know what JTAC is. It's just... Is JTAC really that big of a role in ground forces?" Alena asked, glancing at Amanda.

"Of course. Now, let's assume that a Marine Corps reconnaissance team is surrounded by strong enemy firepower. So, what do you have to do to rescue them?" Amanda asked Alena.

"Well, call for air support. It would be best if we win the battle. If we can't win, we will of course retreat."

"Do you think the brothers in the infantry squad will use synthetic tactical attack guidance?"

"Hmm, it seems unlikely!?"

Thalia sat across the table and smiled, "Alena, don't think about it, the brothers in the infantry squad don't know this major."

Amanda took a few sips of mineral water and explained, "You come from the Naval Academy, of course it is impossible to know all the principles of the Marine Corps. The guest JTAC principle of the Marine Corps must be served by someone with pilot qualifications."

Alena asked a little nervously, "No way? Amanda, then it's possible for me to take up this position?"

Amanda said half-seriously and half-jokingly, "Well, there is a possibility."

Carolla laughed, "Second Lieutenant, you are already studying aviation maintenance. At present, the squadron will not assign you to the position of JTAC."

"God bless! Amanda, you must come back with good limbs. Well, you must come back alive." Alena said.

"Well, I will." Amanda nodded solemnly.

As soon as she thought that she would become the core figure in the US military company in World War II from tomorrow, Amanda couldn't help laughing at herself, "Ladies, the most important thing for the captain and company commander in World War II is the signal soldier. So, now I am the female soldier in the Iraq War." Signal Corps."

"Good luck!" Thalia reached out and shook her hand vigorously.

"Me too, good luck!" Corolla stood up, walked up to Amanda and hugged her.

"Amanda, remember our agreement." Alena said very seriously.

Carola asked curiously, "Promise? Oh, I understand. When you go back to China for vacation, how about finding a few strong male marines to have fun?"

Talia shook her head and smiled slightly, "Sergeant, Alena might do that. But, Amanda..."

Four female marines met in the restaurant, happily chatting about after-dinner topics.After lunch, Amanda went back to the barracks alone.From now on, she will prepare everything for the upcoming infantry life.

As a special unit directly under the Second Expeditionary Force of the Marine Corps, the two platoons of the Second Sea-Air Fire Coordination Company are stationed in the camp near Al-Assad Airport as a rotating force.The Air and Sea Fire Coordination Company provides liaison and direction for artillery, naval artillery, and close air support to the U.S. military and other allies.Specializes in forward observation, joint terminal attack control, and forward air control.

Amanda was thinking while checking personal combat equipment, "Tomorrow I will report to ANGLICO (the abbreviation of Sea Air Fire Association)."

"Maybe, this infantry job will continue until the end of this seven-month service period."

"Damn it! No M4A1, no helmet, no bulletproof vest, I don't even have a fucking full infantry outfit!!"
