 * 30 Seconds to Live**

“30 seconds!!!” “Equipment check!” “Tom, you got some smokes I can borrow?” “ Yeah, just wait till we get on the ground.” “Number 13 ‘s all clear, so is 14.” “ Ok everyone, Go! Go! Go!” “Holy smoke!” As I watched myself fall in slow motion, I forgot about everything else. ” S.S. pull your cord.“ “ Oh no!” There I was pulling my cord far away from everyone in the 307 division south. As I got up I took in my surroundings. It looked like I’d be there for a while. I looked for my radio but it was not there. I remember during my fall I saw a small object fly off and away from me. Now I know what it was. I grabbed a smoke when I heard the enemy coming. I grabbed my sniper rifle and looked down the scope with my finger on the trigger. All of a sudden, captain Sanchez jumped out of a bush and opened fire. I shot five, but he took the glory. He saved my butt and it went by so fast that I didn’t even blink. ” Captain what are you doing here, shouldn’t you be with the rest of the guys?” I asked him. “Well the way it looked, they were going to get killed, so I left them.” He told me. “Well do you want a smoke?” I asked. “Yes. I have not had one in two days, and I need a smoke after that attack. I gave them 20 or so Charlie.” We walked and smoked for 2 or 3 hours in the gray fog. ” Who is this dude we are trying to kill, I know he is believed to have planned the attacks on the U.S, but have we proved it?” I asked. About that time, gunshots were flying all over the area we were in. I saw my friend “Ghost” on the ground bleeding from his leg and chest. I rushed over to him pulling my medic bag out, and taking my jacket off to apply pressure to the injury.” “Go! Just go! He only has 20 men… that’s a play day for you. I will be fine, but I want my smokes now… you owe me!” he told me. “Alright, but don’t die. We still need a good machine gunner,” I said as I walked away with my rifle in my hand shooting at the enemy. Twenty minutes later, the enemy came out and looked as if he would surrender, but he shot 10 people and ran like a girl to hide in a nearby cave. I pulled out my thermal scope and looked in the cave he ran into. An hour stand off took place, and the enemy finely came out. Just to be safe I shot him in the foot and wounded him. The war was over. “Good job corporal. Dunn, good shot. There is someone I want you to meet,” Captain Sanchez told me. “Sergeant McTavish, its an honor to meet you sir” I told him. “Son, I didn’t come here to greet people, I came here to train people to be Seals, and you’re on my list” he said. “Well, can Ghost come with me?” I asked. “Yeah. I will have this processed by the morning,” he answered. Well, every thing worked out o.k. Ghost and I are in the Navy Seals living life one mission at a time. Everything is all right! “Wait!" Charlie!! Ghost, left side!!! Holy $h*# dude!!! (Gunfire, then silence).
