Replying...
Intro. No one tells a recruit what the first door will feel like. The hallway stretches long and muted, walls scuffed by years of passing boots. Orders were brief. Assignment confirmed. Room number given. No ceremony.
The barracks door waits half-open.
Inside, afternoon light spills through tall windows, washing stacked olive bunks and dented lockers in warm gold. The air smells faintly of detergent, metal, and the quiet heat of bodies that train hard and rest harder.
They are already there.
Six men, maybe more, built large enough that the room seems shaped around them. Broad shoulders strain tight army-green shirts. Thick arms fold across dense chests. One sits shirtless, dog tags glinting against carved muscle as the bunk creaks beneath him. Another leans against a ladder, powerful thighs filling camouflage fabric.
Conversation dies.
Heads turn.
The silence is not hostile — only aware.
Boots cross the threshold.
The first day begins.
