It has been a hellish first 3 weeks of training for the recruits of the Hyperborean Foreign Legion. It has been a lot of being yelled at and exercise as punishment as well as a few incidents requiring punishment at the whipping post at the center of camp. If that wasn't worse enough the recruits have been having the same things pounded into their brains day in and day out in the classroom and they have all learned how to take apart and put back together their weapons blindfolded. At the end of these first 3-weeks the recruits were massed in the center of camp to be addressed by Lt. Krueger.

"Alright maggots. Your first 3 weeks of bootcamp has come to a close. You have learned the values of not only what it takes to be a soldier but what it takes to be a citizen of this great nation. You have learned to only do what your superiors tell you to do and how to do it. We have thoroughly removed "why?" from your vocabulary in regards to questioning orders. You've learned the ins and outs of your weapons. You've been taught some basic combat skills. Your bodies and minds have been broken down to their base elements and rebuilt and reshaped. I am also surprised to say that only one of you failed your tests. You damn dirty foreigners just might be able to get past your backwards ways and become quality citizens of this great nation. I guess we'll see how many of you make it through the rest of your training.

Over the next 3 weeks of your training you will be entering phase 2. In phase 2 of your training you will be taught basic weapons training and get to use your weapons on the range. At the end of phase 2 you will be required to meet your basic marksmanship qualifications. If you fail you get deported back to whatever crap-hole country you crawled out of and back to eating dirt. You will also be trained how to engage targets and learn how to prioritize multiple targets at once. You will receive more advanced hand-to-hand combat training, night training, and navigation techniques. During this time the barracks inspections will continue as will the exercises and classwork.

The main goal of this training besides making each one of you proper soldiers and potential citizens is to teach you maggots teamwork. To help in this each one of you maggots will be assigned a battle-buddy.

Sovern your with the Tritran. Hedran your with the Volohkian and remember you deviant Hedran I said battle-buddy not butt-buddy. The berber states with Garnel. Valgorian with Wato salian, Velkisan with Holy Barbarian Empire.

Where you go your buddy goes and where your buddy goes you go. Whatever one does the other does also. If your battle-buddy stubs his toe you will do the same. When he goes to the latrine you go to the latrine. If they get punished you will get punished. If I catch anyone of you WITHOUT your battle-buddy I will shove your head up your battle-buddy's ass so you will never lose them again. If you wash out then your buddy washes out.

Starting after today we will also begin the fire guard. Each group of two will be assigned a 2-hour shift where you and your battle-buddy will walk around and guard the barracks to prevent someone from trying to steal it or worse yet set it on fire.

Tonight you get the night to relax. The chowhall will be open late tonight and lightsout will be pushed from 21:00 to 02:00. Beers will also be available in the chowhall. There's also going to be a movie at 21:00. Tomorrow you'll clean up whatever messes you get into tonight. Do note that if any of you do anything that is conduct unbecoming a soldier of the Hyperborean military you will be penalized for it. That is all." And with that Lt. Krueger returns to his quarters.

IC: Hyperborean Foreign Legion: Bootcamp: Phase 2:
The recruits have been hard at work in their training. They've been busy with basic firearms training and marksmanship. They've also learned some more advanced hand-to-hand combat. As they passed the first 3 weeks and are now into the second 3 weeks the recruits are also beginning to notice that Lt. Krueger, the crazy, angry, racist he is, has actually been a bit... nicer to the recruits... well at least treating them a bit more like human beings anyway. The recruits think that it's either that or they are just getting used to Lt. Krueger. Their physical training has also gotten more difficult.

After a long day of physical training on the training course in the camp the recruits are exhausted and have been assembled by Lt. Krueger. The recruits stand at the base of large wooden tower that rises high above them all. At the top of this tower Lt. Krueger stands to address the recruits.

"Alright maggots. I know you're tired after a day of running your asses around the training course here. The tower I stand on before you all is the newest method of torture I have at my disposal to use on you. You will scale this tower freehand. Once at the top you will then rappel down. You and your battle-buddy must ascend and descend together. Everyone of you must do this successfully before you will be allowed to return to barracks. This could take a few hours or it could take days. Hell if one of you falls and breaks something it could be weeks. It's up to you." With that Lt. Krueger goes and sits down in a lawn chair he had placed for him on top of the tower. The Staff Sergeants begin yelling at the recruits, barking like mad dogs to drive the troops up and over.

OOC: 10 & 3
Sovern & Tritra
The first of the two recruits begin their attempt. The recruit from Sovern is getting a fairly good start but his battle-buddy from Tritra is really struggling. As the two recruits slowly scale the tower they can see Lt. Krueger pop his head over the edge, look at them, and then walk away. The next thing the recruits know their are rocks being thrown at them from the top of the tower. Looking up they can see Lt. Krueger dropping rocks on them.

"Oh did I forget to mention that there'll be obstacles? HAHAHAHA" Lt. Krueger yells down to those below before erupting into an almost maniacal laughter.

It isn't long after this that Lt. Krueger lands some good hits and causes the recruits lose their place and fall from the side of the tower back down to the ground.

OOC: 3 & 9
Hedra & Volohk
The two recruits make their attempt to scale the tower. It's a similar sight to that of those who made the first attempt with one getting a good start and the other struggling. Lt. Krueger continues his dropping of rocks and other debris down on the recruits to obstruct their ascent. The Hedran recruit gets hit and begins losing his grip. As he slips he reaches out his hand towards his battle-buddy. Eckhart not wanting to touch the Hedran's hand does not reach to take it to help his comrade and Reed falls. Eckhart then takes a barrel to the head and chest Lt. Krueger tossed down from above.

OOC: 17 & 10
The berber states & Garnel
The two battle-buddies work together in scaling the tower. The recruit from The Berber States scales the tower very well while trying to help his battle-buddy up. They get close to reaching the top when Lt. Krueger throws down a large wooden fence post which hits both the recruits and sends them down to the ground.

OOC: 18 & 13
Valgoria & Wato salia
The two battle-buddies scale the tower working together to help each other up. It is through this tower that the two recruits are the first to make it to the top.

OOC: 19 & 5
Velkisa & Holy Barbarian Empire
The Velkisan recruit manages to scramble up the tower dodging the falling obstacles with ease but as the Velkisan recruit reaches the top Lt. Krueger runs up and gives the recruit a spartan kick to the chest kicking them off the top of the tower. As the Velkisan recruit falls they take out their battle-buddy who is struggling to ascend the tower.

"Have a great fall maggots! HAHAHA" Laughs Lt. Krueger. The recruits haven't seen Lt. Krueger smile this much since he went to take the belt sander to recruit Reed's privates.

Volohk and Sovern
