"ON YOUR FEET! EVERYONE UP! MISSION BRIEFING AT ZERO FOUR THIRTY! GET DRESSED AND DON'T BE LATE! NOW MOVE IT MARINES!"

Alex wakes up in a hurry as the gunny yells out. She quickly gets ready and heads to the briefing without a word, or even a look at anyone else. She sits silently listing to the briefing. The moment it is over she leaves making her way back to her bunk. She sits on her footlocker looking at a picture of her parents, they are both in army fatigues. Both her parents are army airborne.
Alex was raised a military brat. Her parents pushed her to be all she could be. As she grew up she decided she did not want to join the army like her parents, but having been raised and groomed to be a soldier she joined the Marines instead of the army. After college and ROTC she went to boot camp, here she quickly proved herself to be one of the top 10 rifle marksman in her class. Alex is not rude persa but she is overly quiet and reserved, to the point people think she does not like to work with other people.

"This is Gunnery Sergeant Foley. Alpha, Bravo, Charlie team report to the squad room on the double. Echo and Cobra flight leaders report to the squad room."

With this Alex puts her picture back into her footlocker and straightens her uniform. She walks into the squad room she sees that there are some officers in the room, she salutes to the LCDR and LT, as they acknowledge her she finds an aisle seat and waits for the second early morning brief to start.
