a live fire exercises are about to be ramped up it's a tough job for the man in charge. and sometimes i get tired of ordering people it happens from time to time the guys don't obey me but i was given the task of commanding the company and i have to do it so in any case i'll remember this time with a smile it was tough sometimes but everything will be fine i'm sure we'll do our military duty. today the war games really got started we were assaulting the hill with full support. with the machine going to go first second is private brown private brown after him the squad leader your next and you bring up the rear beside the vehicle everyone mind your distance to look around to check your comrades and remember you're using live ammunition so
