Great application, I think you will be able to bag a Kraut or two on here . Also you will be joining the 101st Airborne for now. I require members of Allied to join it for now.
Thanks,

U.S
Character History:
James was born into a middle class family, his father was teacher, and his mom was a stay at home mom. James always wanted to do something exciting with his life, so he explored many options. Eventually when James was 17 he wanted to join the U.S Army. Well just a few months later, WWII broke out in Europe. Two years later, James enlisted against the will of his parents. James was sent into active combat just a few months after completing basic. James is fresh out of basic, so he tries to an ideal soldier, but has been known to crack a few jokes. James isn't afraid of combat, and is looking forward to bagging himself, his first Kraut.
Military Rank:
Private
Writing Sample:
Scenario:You are in the middle of two German MG42's and have nothing but a grenade and bolt action rifle. There are 4 soldiers 1 in each nest and one one each side of you with MP40's. What would your character do? How would he respond?
James stuck his head out from cover to survey the area, but was forced to lower his head when an MG-42 fired at him. James looked at his gear, only one grenade, and a few clips for his M1 Grand. "OK, this shouldn't be too hard" James jokingly said as he looked around for anything he could use. James spotted a flatbed truck next to one of the gun nests. James looked to his left, he spotted the teams radioman, next to a German soldier, "Now if i could knock out that soldier, and get to that radio, i could call in for some back up" James said to himself. James cooked the grenade, and threw it at the flatbed truck, the grenade detonated, and the truck exploded as well, sending shrapnel into the soldier inside the nest, and next to it. "Two down, two to go" James said as he spotted the next German soldier taking cover. James popped up for a second and fired, but the shot missed, and the soldier opened fire on James. While the soldier was reloading, James fired three shots, two of them missed, but the third one hit the German soldiers right arm, causing him to take a slight step out of cover. The other gun nest opened fire on James once the smoke cleared. James dropped down, and waited for the gun to stop. James popped out of cover, and shot the German soldier in the chest. James quickly dropped back into cover. "Well this wont be easy" James said as he looked for anything else he could use. James was going to have to shoot the fuel barrels near the nest, but this is easier said then done. James popped up one last time as he fired at the explosive barrels, causing them to detonate. the nest's gunner was stunned, so James bolted from cover, and dragged the radioman's body to cover. "This is Private Harland, 2nd squad, 3rd platoon, i am pinned down in the courtyard by an MG-42, i am requesting assistance, over" James said into the radio. "Roger that, the calvary is on its way" a man said. A few minutes later, an Sherman tank rolled down the road, and opened fire on the nest, killing everyone inside. James then hitched a ride on the tank back to a rally point.
