Everyone was asleep in Shelby's Quarters. It was 5 in the morning and was still dark. Suddenly, the sound of a bugle was blaring through the loudspeakers. Shelby burst into the room shouting, "Let's go, let's go. Get off your lazy a**es. Come on, let’s go. In five minutes, I want you dressed and ready go.” Shelby then tore the Covers off all their beds. "God, urgh, let me sleep" groaned Wolf. He tried to hide his head under the pillow. "Get up fur ball. Come on, everyone up, NOW!" They all got up as fast as they could. "Attention!" yelled Shelby. Being half asleep, they were hardly able to stand at attention. "That was to Slow. You need to do this in under 5 minutes. If you did this while you were under fire, you'd all be dead! Now I’m going to inspect how well you did."
Shelby walked over to where Slippy's bed was. "That’s the worst bed I’ve ever seen. Do it again!" Shelby tore the covers off the bed. “You’ve got to be kidding me” exclaimed Slippy back. “20 push-ups, Now” yelled Shelby. “But” stammered Slippy. “40!” But” 60!” But I...”100. Now get on the ground or I’ll make you clean the all the mess hall floors with a damn toothbrush!” “Then Leon chuckled. “What the hell are you laughing at Lizard Boy! 100 push-ups! NOW!” No one else spoke. All the other beds were soon in order.
"Now then, you will report to the Supply tent at 0530 hours to get you clothes, supplies, and other G.I Issue items. You will wear nothing but standard G.I issue clothing. After that, go to the Mess Hall for breakfast at 0540 hours and to the firing range at 0600 hours. DISMISSED!" They filed out the door to the supply tent and then to the mess hall. After they had eaten, the real training had begun.
They were all waiting at the firing range when Shelby and another G.I appeared. They were carrying a M1919 .30 cal machine gun, its tripod and several belts of ammunition. "Uh, what are you going to do with that?" stammered Falco. "We're going to find out how fast you run." grinned Shelby. He set the .30 cal on the tripod, flipped up the receiver cover up and placed a belt of ammo in the feed position. Then he slammed the receiver cover back down and cocked the weapon. It made and eerie sounding CHA-CHINK that ran down Fox's spine. He was sure it was felt by everyone else. "I'd start running if I were you" said Shelby. "Yikes" yelled Slippy.

"10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1..."

BRATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

"Jesus" yelled Fox. Bullets started hitting the ground in a path that was headed straight towards him. He took off running away from Shelby with bullets hitting the ground at his feet. Shelby was laughing. He was a good enough shot that he was able to put the bullets right at their feet but didn't hurt them. "This'll help you keep your head under fire" yelled Shelby over the roar of the .30 cal. "Sir you might want to see this" said the soldier. "Jesus Christ! That’s incredible. That’s about, oh, 57 mph. Dear god!"
They were astounded at how fast Wolf ran. It was almost twice as fast as anyone one earth. Shelby now aimed at Panther and Leon who were trying to make a run for the forest behind the range. But Shelby Fired at them and the bullets went so close, they tripped them. Leon fell flat on his face and Panther ran a few steps before falling and rolling several feet. Shelby was still laughing at them and shooting wildly. Spent shell casings were flying out of the gun and were piling on the ground. Shelby was chewing gum so that his ears would pop.
Then he pointed the gun at Falco who had ducked in the shell crater along with Fox, Slippy and Krystal. "I don’t think he knows were in here. The shooting has stopped." said Falco. But Shelby had anticipated this. He had brought an M-1 Garand equipped with a muzzle rifle grenade launcher. It was fitted with the older type of rifle grenade that had a standard hand grenade on the top of the weapon. Shelby aimed the rifle like a mortar, straight up in the air. He pulled the trigger. The metallic sound of the M-1 ejecting the blank shell was heard. The rifle grenade leaped off the muzzle and into the air. Fox and the others in the crater heard it fire but didn’t know what to think of it. Suddenly, the rifle grenade landed right in the middle of them and rolled to the bottom of the crater. They stared in amazement at it until the handle of the grenade popped off. "Oh crap, it’s a grenade" said Falco. They all scrambled out of the crater as fast as they could.

This shoot fest continued for another half-hour. When they were done, Shelby called them over and said, "Attention, I want you over here right now! Your speeds are good. A lot faster than I’ve ever seen.”
“Now then, we'll get in to hand to hand combat. Here Falco, I'll let you demonstrate, go ahead, try to stab me with that." Shelby handed the K-Bar to Falco. "Are you sure about this" said Falco. "Yep, go ahead, try it." replied Shelby. "Well, ok." Falco charged Shelby with the knife in hand. But just as Falco was about to stab him, Shelby reached up and grabbed Falco's wrist and twisted it. Falco dropped the knife. Then Shelby Swung around behind Falco and kicked the back of his leg. Falco dropped to his knees and went to the ground. Shelby pulled out his HiStandard and held it to the back of Falco's neck. "You see that, if that were a German, he would have just blown his brains all over the ground. Don’t they teach you this stuff were you live?" They trained for hours more in the art of hand to hand combat. They went through this training for several weeks. Then the next part began.
They were on the obstacle course at 5 in the morning. It was pouring down rain. They had almost adjusted to the early rising but were still a bit groggy. The whole base had adjusted to them being there. They were grateful to. Since they had appeared, the nuisance raids by German aircraft had stopped completely. This happened because they had introduced a new weapon to the base's anti aircraft arsenal: the stinger surface to air missile.
"Ok, now were going to see how quickly you can complete this obstacle course. It will require team work which I hope you have learned by now. Treat this as a life and death situation. Now then, on your mark, get set, go." None of them left the starting line. "Why should we. This isn't a life and death situation."  Shelby pulled out a pineapple grenade and pulled the pin. The handle flew off of. "It is now!" they all went screaming away from Shelby except for Wolf. "Oh come on, it’s just a dummy grenade." he said. Then Shelby threw it behind a tree.

KA-BOOM

Wolf threw himself on the ground. He didn't know there was a mud puddle where he was standing. The tree fell over when the grenade blew up with a loud crash. Shelby started laughing at Wolf who was covered in mud. "Damnit, I'm gonna go clean my self off" grumbled Wolf. "No you're not" said Shelby. "You're going to finish the course just like all the rest of them. Besides, if you don't, you get to do it with full combat gear." said Shelby. Knowing this couldn't be good, Wolf decided to run the course. Shelby had them running until nightfall. When they were done, they were completely exhausted. Then they went back to Shelby's room and quickly fell asleep.
