Was it all dream? I checked the date and time. It was April 14th and the time was twenty-three hundred hours. I had two hours before I had to go teach the cherries how to shoot. I also had to wait another 13 hours before Bulldog returned from Laos. I turned over and tried to get my two more hours of sleep. I got up at one hundred hours and went down to the firing range like I was ordered to do so.\n\nI went through the doors to see the cherries already firing at their targets. I moved over to the center of the floor.\n\n\"Attention! Raw recruits!\"\n\nThey all unload their weapons, turned and saluted me all at once.\n\n\"Okay. Today I will teach you how to properly use a fire arm.\"\n\nI grabbed a standard issue M16 from a table and went back to the center floor.\n\nI unloaded the weapon.\n\n\"First, unload the weapon.\"\n\nI turned the safety on.\n\n\"Next. Turn on the safety.\"\n\nI watched as all the men did the same as me.\n\n\"Alright, load your rifles, turn off the safety`s and assume\u0026nbsp; firing position.\"\n\nThey all did so.\n\n\"Now. Aim down your iron sights and fire at your target. Aim for center of mass.\"\n\nThey started firing. I started pacing the range and watched the men shoot. They were good, needed work, but were good.\n\n\"Keep a steady aim and make every shot a kill, it`ll save your life one day.\"\n\nMinutes seemed as if they were hours, hours seemed like days. The men kept shooting and I kept coaching and what after seemed like forever I was relieved by the MP stationed at the range. He handed me a bottle of whiskey.\n\n\"Make sure this gets to General Simmonds.\"\n\nI nodded, Straight to Boss.\n\n\"No problem dude.\"\n\nOff I went to go give Boss his bottle of Whiskey. I found him in his office doing paper work for the day. I handed him his bottle.\n\n\"Thanks Pyro.\"\n\nI nodded.\n\n\"I`m very happy you covered for me and I thank you for that.\"\u0026nbsp;\n\nEVERYTHING had gone just like in my dream, I felt dead inside I did not know what do.\n\nI heard Medics yelling the familiar words from my dream. I rushed outside the M16 slung over my back, I stood and watched the Rangers pour in from Laos and I started looking for Bulldog frantically and in a panic. I saw the brown flat top and the green patrol cap tilted to the left at an upwards angle. I ran full speed to it, I burst into tears when I saw that it was actually him.\n\n\"Pyro? What`s wrong?\"\n\n\"I thought I lost you! Everything was like my dream, I feared the worst!'\n\nHe hugged me tight and I sobbed into his shoulder.\n\n\"Hun, your making people stare.\"\n\n\"I don`t care, I`m happy that you`re back.\"\n\nI paid no heed to the people around, I was completely oblivious anything else except for the lovely face in front of me. I cupped his face with my hands and kissed him, flat out. A romantic and deep tongue kiss. He melted into it and gasped slightly as I started biting and sucking at his tongue. I pulled away looked around at the people around us, their jaws were dropped, other just stared wide eyed. One guy even whistled teasingly. I looked at Bulldog.\n\n\"Hun? Did I just?\"\n\nBulldog was red in the face and choking on his words.\n\n\"Yeah, you did.\"\n\n\"In front of everyone?\"\n\n\"Yeah.\"\n\nI felt cold now.\n\n\"Ah fuck!\"\n\nBulldog chuckled.\n\n\"I know Babe.\"\n\nI smiled a little.\n\n\"Least we get to go home early now.\"\n\nHe chuckled.\n\n\"Yeah, I just hope we got honorable discharges.\"\n\nMe and Bulldog walked into Boss`s office, holding hands and waited for the worst.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
