your face was the one i

by quietconversation

Bradley Bradshaw finally arrives at Basic Training at age 25 and meets Jake Seresin, a royal pain in his ass—The men in the bunks surrounding him were already talking, a few louder than most. A blonde sitting across from him seems to be talking to the person above him.

He’d seen her fall off the ropes course that morning. “War ain’t a place for little girls.”“Then they shouldn’t have let you in,” she’d responded and decked him. That led to one of the most spectacular (if brief) brawls that James had ever been a part of.

By The Stars
