Welcome to Gaia! ::

Raven sighed and got up from her bed. She seemed frustrated as she paced. She wanted to get a short nap in, but her mind was flooding with thoughts and racing memories that she was feeling sick and making her not able to sleep without those memories showing. She felt her body shake as she paced. She finally sat down and tried to calm her mind. "Just don't think, just don't think!" She commanded of herself as she put her elbows on her thighs and put her head in her hands trying to keep herself from thinking. "Don't think, don't think, don't think, don't think! Stop!" She kept commanding and trembled, she wanted it to end.

I may be odd, but that doesn't mean I am a failure. I am me, and I will win. I am a soldier girl, get over it.

Airman 1st Class Trevor Thompson
"Those who always talk about combat, has never seen it before."












When Trevor felt the the American C-130 land at his new base he stood up and threw on his rucksack, attached his M4 to the sling that was wrapped around his upper body, picked up his deployment back and walked towards the back hatch of the aircraft as he patted his drop holster on his right thigh to make sure that is was properly attached and that his M9 is seated properly and locked inside. when the ramp came down his fellow security force members that were assigned to the air craft ran out to the five points of the aircraft making sure that the area was secure before they gave to go ahead for the cargo and personnel to be off loaded. When Trevor walked down the ramp he looked ahead he saw a man wearing multicam leaning against a humvee with the Security Forces badge and was beckoned him over. As Trevor was making his way over to the humvee the man walked towards him, "Welcome to base X," the man stuck out his hand. Trevor then put down his deployment bag and grabed the man's hand and shook it. "Here let me help you with that." The man then reached over to Trevor's deployment bag and picked it up then headed towards the humvee. "Now before we head to your room can I see your orders?" Trevor then dug through his rucksack and found the folder that carried his orders before giving it to the man for him to look it over. The man then withdrew a card from his pocket. "This is your new ID card like your old one keep it on you at all times."

"Yes sir," Trevor promptly replied. He then was handed back his orders and put them back into his rucksack before climbing into the humvee to be transported to this new room. When they arrived Trevor put on his beret and he and the man got out of the humvee, "Ok kid here's your building; your room is on the second floor, first on the left room 8213, and your ID acts as your room key. As soon as you drop off your gear you are to report to Captain Lukas immediately. The last place I saw him was over at the chow hall which is over in that direction." the man then points in the dirction down the street and Trevor looks down at the direction given to him. He then nods his head and then thanks the man before the man takes out Trevors bags and places them at his feet and then climbs back into the humvee and drives off. Trevor walks into the building and quickly finds his room and drops off his bags before heading to the chow has like he was instructed. when he walked into the chow hall he quickly scanned the room to find his new CO and saw him sitting with a few others. Trevor then makes his way over to the captain and stopped a few feet away and snapped to attention, "Sir Airman First Class Thompson formerly from the 39th Security Forces Squadron, reporting as ordered."
