Tom sat on his bunk reading his book. He had only been reading it for a couple of days but he was half way through and the adrenaline was pumping. He heard David cursing at his side.
"Not again! Blast!"
He was probably cleaning his rifle again. The soot probably got in his eyes again. This was the life Tom thought. In the army it was like a second home.
He looked at his cousin in affection he had only been here a couple of months but David was dewing well. "Again" Tom said at him. " Just this ones i nearly got it then" answered David.
"You'll get there David some day"he replied.
They had heard that they were going to get a new room mate. Ever since there last one died last week.
At that moment Daniels walked in the room with three beers and sed to David
"Can't you stop cleaning that rifle for one minite all I can hear in here is BLAST and NOT AGAIN "
Then he turned towords his collegue and asked
"Do you and your cosin want a beer"
He got no answer and he knew that Tom was wrapped up in his book.He waited a couple of seconds to see if he got answer. Then he exclaimed across the room
"Hey Edwards do you want this beer o'r shall I leave"

Tom looked at him in surprise was he stupid there was a no drinking polace in the barracks. "Sorry not aloud drink in the barracks sir," he said emphasizing the word 'sir'.
He was not one of them a officer and a medic he was a nurse on the battlefield. He had heard that he was going to be there new commander after Bill died he remembered telling David yesterday 'great we got a nurse babysitting us!" he remembered haw David had laughed.
But he was his commanding officer so he could not make fun of him to his face court Marshal for shor. "David" he said "go get our commanding officer here some tea" he watched as David made some tea and give it to him.
"Here you ar sir" he said handing over the tea. He could see the hate that David had toward Jack as he walked pass David he said " don't be a fool David he can have you shot by a firing squads".
"Here is your bunk sir"he said pointing at the bed in the corner.
As Daniels exepted the tea he saw the look of hate in Davids eyes but decided to say nothing. But then he rememberd the roomer that has been going around that he was only a nurse and that he traced it back to this area. He got quite angry but managed to keep it at bay but couldn't help saying something to David.
"You know David if you've got a problem with me you should say it to my face now because i'll find out if you've been saying things behind my back if you tell me now and I won't do anything to you but if you lie to me at any time there will be concequences let me make that ebyndenteely clear."
He said this with outhority. There was a moment of silence then he carried on in a kinder fasion,
"Thank you for showing me my bunk Tom and thank you David for this nice tea."
Then he walked over to his bunk and sat quiatly drinking his tasty hot tea waiting for an answer.

Tom looked at Jack and saw the desire to fight. He looked at David who was about to say something but cut across him by saying "No sir it was not him , probably one of Bevan's boys not him, and if i get in a fight with him ill have disable you sir"
David might have been a fool but the Sargent was a bigger one. Getting in a fight with a private and me there as a witness would surely get him a one way ticket to demotion. He was a fool.
"Now sir" Tom said "i notice you haven't got a rifle haw may i ask will you be fighting?"
OK, Tom, what are you on about? Jack just made a perfectly fine post and you've been just...so unbelievably annoying. I don't know if you're trying to make your character a total b*****d but if you are, it's working.
Now, your quip that Jack doesn't have a rifle.
1. How do you know? Why would he take a rifle to a bedroom? 2. He's a medic. He doesn't need to fight. 3. He has a rifle. It's a game glitch so it appears that he doesn't.
You also god-modded a lot by stating that you saw a "desire to fight in Jack's eyes" as well as writing dialogue that literally makes no sense. Also stop bullying Jack. He is a senior figure to you and you should respect him. Plus, how the heck is he just a nurse??? He's in the army!
AND PLEASE, PLEASE SPELL F*****G CHECK!!!
Sorry for this borderline spamming but I have grown SO ANNOYED by your behaviour.
Jack was slightly confused but managed to say in a stable voice
"First of all it is not my job to fight it'll be my job to save your life when you've been hit.Second of all it was a technical glitch and thats what made me loose my gun. And may I ask how you got the information that I haven't got a gun?"
He waited there in silence for an answer from either David or Tom.
" They gossip like little girls sir". He pulled out his knife and began to sharpen a wooden stake. "Arh sir luggage promble?"he said.
"You may be able to heal me sir but we army lads ar superior with a rifle sir" he said
"Remember what the people said in roman times when Marius ,Julius Ceasers uncle held a triumphed 'remember thou art mortal" he said.
"So don't get overconfident sir medics die just as easily as the rest of us sir" he said.
"Now sir do you fancy coming to the tracking field with us later today, and sir don't worry about David he is just a bit angry at himself Defrel died the ether day" he said.
"Now sir lets go to the cafeteria and gets some food what do you say?"he said
"You do remember that I am your commanding officer and you should show me some respect.And you should be careful with what you say do I even need to mention Africa?And also I shall be getting a new gun and some men to help me with my job and defending me when I am healing you and your men on the battlefield.When I have my new rifle you shall not be superior if anything I shall be superior!"
He said the next bit nicer
"So now we've sorted our differences out lets go to the cafeteria".

"You should never be so quick to anger sir," he said
"It grows and festers till theres nothing left but an empty shell"
"All men ar fools sir and if i was disrespecting you sir i would not be saying sir no, we all may fools but the one that looses his temper is the most foolish i was once like you fresh new arrogant stupid but that was then this is now so don't give me your arrogance love your men as if they were your sons and they will love you back, be kind rewinde!" he said calmly.
"Now sir i was being kind i don't have to be i want to be friends with you but you have to learn to let loose, come to the tracking field at two o'clock i insist sir" he said.
"Sorry about that it's just this roomer it's so annoying I just don't like people saying things behind my back I'm sorry it was kind of you to invite me to the tracking field I'll be there"
He sat down looking ashamed of what he'd done.

"After whats just happened you still want me to come?" he heard Jack say.
Tom could not believe what he was hearing he was so full of rubbish. Piting himself that was not gonna get him anywhere he felt like saying 'shut up' but no that would get him into trouble. Tom thought of what to do would he comfort him or just walk off and leave him. He stood up and groaned in pain as he got up. He started cursing in welsh as the pained sored through his body. It had been like that ever since the scirmish with those germans he still could not get Defrels dieing cries in his head but that was over he had to go on live his life.
"David" he cried "get to painkillers". He watched as David got the tablets and gave it to him. He groaned in relief as the pain left. H limped toward Jack and said.
"Of course everyone makes mistakes thats life c'mon lets go" .
Then he limped towards the door and opened it while he said and said
"Hurry up David we haven't got all day!".
He watched as David walked over. Then he walked to the canteen.
