All Wing Commanders are required to support their flight data and recon report to the Captain immediately to prepare for surface insertion. All surface units are to prepare for duty by 0400.

Pierce heard the announcement and stood off the bench. "Mercer, you heard it, lets get back to our quarters and get ready by 0300 hours." Pierce began to walk toward the gym doors.

"Yes chief." Mercer said following him.

"Finally we're getting off this hunk of junk." Bumper said strapping on his vest. "Maybe we will find something the pilots didn't and make them look bad."

"Lets just get the job done." Pirece said adjusting the rest of his gear. Like always, he had finished getting ready first. "We need a new combat medic. Deryl was killed in the battle."

Goose nodded. "I know, his kid just turned two last week as well." He said shaking his head.

Bumper finished adjusting his gear and looked at Boxer. "What will you be bringing this time?"

"Standard weaponry. We aren't sure whats down there so no need to bring anything large." Boxer replied.

"Any idea when we will be called to briefing?" Goose said sitting on his bunk.

"0400 was our scheduled time. Somewhere just before then." Peirce said walking over to Bumper. "As for the medic, we will come to that when we cross it."
