Expect The Unexpected

Im excited. This is the first time im out on mission wif the big boys. Riding wif them in the Black Hawk is a dream came true. I clutched my carbine closer. Im going to use this man.. i goin for a real mission.

We reached the destination sooner than expected. The whole place was littered wif black smoke. "They are burning tyres to create a smoke screen!" screamed Cpl Burns beneath the noise of the rotor blades. Gunshots were heard in the distance. The battle had started. I saw marines roping down from other Black Hawks into their positions. The pilot gave a thumbs up n Sgt Miller was ordering us to get out from the chopper. "Wes you are ok?" Cpl Den asked from behind. I gave him the ok sign. Now im afraid. This is so different from the training mission. This is real. "Ur turn Pte Wes!" Sgt Miller pointed at me. I moved to the edge n juz abt to grap the rope when the co-pilot turned ard n shouted. "RPG!!" The Black Hawk rocked as it did a defensive maneuver to evade the propelling rocket. Fuck i tot to myself as i lost my footing n lurched forward. I tried desperately to catch the rope as i fall but failed. All i can see was the Sgt's horrified look in his face as i go crashing to the ground.....
