What Army Will You Serve Beneath? : US(American)
Nationality: American
Character History:
Troy Fox was always a trouble maker in school as he was always starting fights and picking on the younger kids and even at times the bigger kids cause he wasn't scared and just wanted to see if he could win the fight. Upon turning eighteen and finishing school he started life not knowing what he was going to do. With his life as he never really had a plan for himself. He was like a nomade just roming the good soil of America with no true goal or drive in his life. Becoming a fast food working he was always argueing with customers and starting fights due to the way the would walk in and just act like they was better than every one in there. Understanding that her son was just a trouble maker her mother recommened the army to him. Knowing that it was what he needed in order to straighten him up. She would take him down and have him recuited into the U.S Army.Writing Sample:
Hating every moment that he was there as he was always in the front leaning rest postion due to his attuide. "What's wrong boy!!! Sad that momma turned you in!?" His commanding officer would yell out at him as he pushed his body down in the dirt. Hot headed as Troy was he quickly sprung back up and attempted to strick the office. But with his lack of fighting skills and the officer being so much smarter than him he would simple just be thrown to the ground on his back with the man on top of him. "Now....Are wanting to make things hard on yourself? Or do you want to learn and do things right and just make it easier on youself?" The boy would understand that they officer was only trying to help him but he didn't like it or him.
Age 20
After two years with in the branch of the army he would be set free, or that's what he refered as. "MR.FOX IS ON THE LOSSE!!!" He yelled out as he walked up the road with his bags. Reaching his home he would enter his home with the intent of hugging his mother. Walking in he would see two small childeren sitting in the living room. What's this?1 The kids would scream alerting their father. He would enter the room as he attempted to fight with the man. Finally everything would calm down a moment so that Troy could ask where his mother was. The family told him that the women that used to live in this house died from cancer. Being completly shocked and amazed by what he heard he would colapse down on the floor. After waking up the family would invite him to stay with them for some time until he could get back up on his feet.Rejecting their offer he would simple leave the house with his bag heading for no where.
Reaching a small building that seem to be abandoned. He would decide that he was going to make this his tempory home. Night after night he would think about his mother and all of the things that they had been together though. Knowing that he really didn't have anything to live for he would pull his hand gun from his bag as he would put it under his chin. With tears falling everywhere onto his lap he would stop as he threw the gun across the building.
After six months of Empty nights he knew what he wanted to do. He wanted to return to the place that he hated so much. He wanted to rejoin the army and do the best that he could there. He knew that it was all that he really had left for him in life, and it was the reason that he didn't see his mother for two years. Or at least that's what he wanted to blame it on.
Age 21
At the age of twenty one he rejoined the army under his old commanding officer's unit. "I am ready to become better......I want to accomplish something in my life" With a smil on the officer's face he knew that Fox ment what he said and that it wasn't for show or else he wouldn't be there. "Well....Come on then..." Troy would searve with his office for over three years. Until one night his officer asked him what it was that caused him to change his mind and clean up his act. After telling the officer about his mother the man would then start to tell Fox about what it was that cause him to rejoin himself and try and become better for himself.
Age 24
Just in the pause of the story their camped would be attacked. The officer would quickly reach is feet as he would start to give out commands to the other NCO's. Trying his best to gain an advantage with in the battle.....or to just figure out what was going on. He would be standing just on the hill above Fox as he was calling out commands until a bullet bust though his chest knocking him down off of the hill. He would land down on his back just infront of Fox. "Sorry.....Looks like I will have to tell you about that story some other time" he said to Fox with a smirk on his face as he grabbed Foxs hand. "Become the best that you can be" With that his eye's would slowly shut as his heart came to a stop. Understanding the sutiuation Fox would quickly start giving out commands to soilders that was in a panic and not really doing anything. He would mange to make a small squad out of the men where they would quickly band together and work there way back to the bunkers where they would use the escape tunnels to flee from the ambush.
That night Fox would be known as a hero to them men as he saved there live.
Age 26
Serving with in the army another two years he was doing his best. He had became a man of honor and was doing he best to become the best that he could become.
He would then go into active duty once the war broke out. He would simply wait for orders from his upper officers.
Fox would whisper silently to himself as he walked though out he woods. "I need to get out of here....but I think some one is on my tail....Officer Danuiels taught me some tricks to when your being followed.....I should use them here." Fox would continue to sneak though out the forest until he felt comfortably ahead the person where he would then sit his trap.Approved/Denied?: Neither Yet
Quickly placing some trip wire up around a small root sticking from the ground he would then tie it around one of his two grenades. Tieing it so that the pin would pull out first and then the hand release next.
He would then start ahead and tie a second string a little ways up ahead just at the lower base of a tree just enough to where it would catch someone's shoe if they was to walk over it. He would then carrier the string in his hands where he would let the wire loosely fall. This way if some one was to walk on the wire he would feel it tug and know for sure and then gain an advantage point on them.
Staff Notes:
Overall decent applicaation, although you are speaking in 3rd Person you are talking in future tense, its better if you speak in present tense, like this " He walked over to the edge of the hill, peeked over only to see the cold steel helemet of the yougn Kraut officer. He slowly raised his battle hardened M1, aligning the cold iron sights with the krauts head. Boom! He shot the helemet wasn't enough to stop the 30-06 caliber bullet at such a close range, the Kraut's body fell to the ground only to create a puddle of mud around the corpse" Thats kinda what it should sound like, that was nothing good though. Welcome to the board First Sergeant!
