Chapter 28 Paratrooper Badge

On December 26, 1942, all the soldiers of the 506th Regiment completed their last jump.

"I can't believe that I will become a paratrooper today." Joe Toy gently stroked the wearing silver wing badge with his hand. "I think this should be one of the most important moments in my life!"

Many people are as excited as him. Even Parks, who has seen the big scene, has fluctuated in his mood. It is indeed a happy and exciting thing to get a badge with so many brothers.

"You are now members of our group." Sink stood on a high platform and announced: "This is one of the best regiments of the U.S. Army, and of course it is also counted in the world. You should remember our battle slogan and motto 'Colahi', which means 'read and fight'. Let's read and fight together.

Sink's words made the officers and soldiers of the 506th Regiment excited. Because this is a sacred moment, which marks that he is already a qualified soldier, and it will be an important moment for almost everyone.

And Colonel Sink announced a more exciting news at the end: "Tonight, the community in the barracks will be open to all soldiers. At that time, you can raise your glasses and drink for your paratrooper badges."

"From tomorrow, I will have ten days off for you. You can go home and have a look and tell your relatives and friends, of course, your wife or girlfriend. You are an American army paratrooper." Sink smiled and then changed his tone, "There are some things I hope you can do - not only to do it during the vacation, but also to become a belief to guide your life. You should walk with your heads high and chests up, you should have the posture of a soldier, and always remember that you are an airborne soldier, not an infantry, not a marine, but an airborne soldier. Look at your shiny boots and the handsome trousers tied in the boots. Let everyone who has seen you know the elegant demeanor of airborne troops.

At this time, everyone cheered. This is undoubtedly very good news. Ten days off, which makes them very happy. When the "dissolution" command came, everyone couldn't help hugging.

"I think I finally survived. It's just a dream!" White packed his luggage in the barracks and said to Parks, "I used to think I was going to be tortured to death by Captain Sober. But I survived. Look at my boots. Look at my silver-wing badge.

"You deserve it! White, you have always been excellent!" Parks smiled and watched him pack up, but he didn't mean to pack his luggage at all.

At this time, White straightened up, then looked at Parks and said solemnly, "I know that I couldn't do all this without you. Maybe I would have been kicked out of Company E by Captain Sober. Thank you, Parks!"

Parks shook his head and smiled: "Okay, White, don't say these stupid things. We're brothers, aren't we? A brother in a company, a person who can rely on each other on the battlefield!"

"Yes!" At this time, White stepped forward and hugged Parks tightly. "Remember, we will always be brothers. Don't abandon me. Of course, I will never abandon you!"

At this time, the barracks door suddenly opened, and then Gernelly came in. When he saw the two people, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then he smiled and said, "It seems that I came at the wrong time. Maybe I disturbed your interest?" He smiled ambiguously.

"Oh, Mr. Gonorrhea, don't imagine it with your head full of ** officials," Parks couldn't help patting his forehead. "Yes, why don't you sort out your luggage?"

"Hey hey, Parks, I'm about to go to the community. The beer there is open today." Granari whistled at the two, "Let's go and be happy together!" Today is destined to be a sleepless night.

"Why not?" Parks smiled and said to White, "Let's go, White, pack up these things later. We should celebrate tonight with our brothers."

The community club tonight is very noisy.

"One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds... ten seconds!" A group of people, including David Landorman and Joe Ligot, are surrounding Grenari, reading seconds in unison.

"Bang!" With a sound, when Gnery counted to "ten", he had already drunk the beer in the glass with a silver-winged badge in his mouth, and everyone cheered in unison.

"Let's go, steed!" Gernelly took off the badge from his mouth and shouted proudly.

"Cheers," Landorman also raised the glass, and suddenly more than a dozen glasses bumped into each other, splashing the golden combble. The brothers of E Company don't want anything now. They just want to vent their emotions at such a time. From entering the military camp to now, I have experienced all kinds of tortures and tests of Thorber, and also landed from the sky with beautiful umbrella flowers. Now that I think about it, everything is worth it.

With such a mood, John Martin carefully folded his trousers into the high paratrooper leather boots. He stepped on the chair with one foot and looked meticulous.

At this time, another leather boot suddenly appeared on the stool. When Martin looked up, he saw the red-faced Parker. He looked at Martin and said proudly, "Think about it, if you are as handsome as me, others may think you are a big man, Martin!"

When Martin heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head and looked at Paconti: "Do you mean like a monitor?"

"It's just a joke!" Paconti shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can finally fold my trousers into my trousers without listening to Captain Saab's roar. Isn't this a fortunate thing?"

Martin couldn't help but wink at him with a smile, then stretched out his hand, and the two held each other.

"Congratulations, Martin!" Pai Kandi said his blessing sincerely, "Congratulations on your promotion to sergeant!"

As I was talking, I suddenly heard a voice shouting loudly, "Li-right!"

All the soldiers of the 506th Regiment immediately put down the beer in their hands, and some immediately bounced up from their seats and stood upright. Colonel Sink, Lieutenant Colonel Stryll and others came in and then walked straight to the main platform in the community.

"Paratroopers, please take a break!" Sink smiled and said, "Good night, brothers of Company E!"

"Good night, sir!" All the paratroopers shouted in unison.

"Paratroopers are a brand-new concept in the United States, but the 506th Regiment is absolutely capable of turning this new concept into victory." Sink smiled and nodded to the brothers.

"Yes, sir!" All the brothers of Company E said loudly.

"I want you to know how proud I am of you. You deserve this banquet." Sink continued.

At this time, Sergeant Grant brought a glass of beer and handed it to Colonel Sink.

"Now I want you to enjoy it and remember our motto." Colonel Sink raised his glass.

"Unity!" Everyone roared from the bottom of their hearts, and then raised their glasses and bottles high.

This was a banquet that made the E Company brothers happy. Almost all of them were drunk. They helped each other in groups and staggered back to the barracks. In the barracks, there was another lively noise, and some people continued tonight's banquet in the barracks, splashing beer everywhere.

The next morning, Parks got up very early. He put on his training suit and was about to go out to the camp for exercise. This is his habit, even when he is on vacation. He knew that only in this way could he keep his body in the best condition at all times.

"Pon!" With a sound, White suddenly jumped up from **. His hair was messy and his body was still full of wine. He looked for his clothes in a daze and muttered, "Damn it, it's terrible today. I must be late!"

"Shut up! "White!" At this time, Tibo, who was lying on **, lengthen his voice in ** and said lazily, "Have you lost your head? From today on, in the next ten days, there will be no damn bugle, no damn training, and no Captain Thorber. We are on vacation!"

"Ah--" White was wearing trousers. As soon as he heard it, he was stunned, and then immediately remembered that he would take ten days off from today. Suddenly, he relaxed and couldn't help laughing. Then he fell back and fell heavily on **.

"Parks, what are you doing?" Then White noticed Parks in a training suit, "Oh, God, don't tell me you're addicted. No wonder you're a perverted monster."

Parks smiled and said, "Are you going home? It's getting late now. I hope you can come back here on time and don't stay at home for too long. Don't forget that Captain Sober is unwilling to give up. And Colonel Sink will not let go of those who are overdue. Don't be kicked out as soon as you become a paratrooper.

"Okay, okay! I really have to go home." White got up from ** again and began to pack up.

When Parks comes back from training, White has already packed up. His hair was neatly combed and oily, he was wearing a neat military uniform, and he was wearing a shiny silver-winged badge. His leather boots were also shiny, and his trousers were tied inside, and he looked handsome and heroic. At this time, the others also got up and were packing up.

"Oh, what a handsome guy!" Parks laughed.

White smiled confidently, looked at Parks, and said strangely, "Parks, aren't you going home? Or what else do you have?

Parks nodded: "I'm not going home for the time being." He wants to stay here and use these days to complete the rifle design he promised.
