Last week I bought an NcStar upper receiver and scope for my AK-47. After an hour I finally got the thing on. The rest of the week I stayed over at my grandparents and had an airsoft war with my friend.

How I would like to go down in history

I would like to go down in history as the USAF's greatest pilot, or the "Ace Of Aces". I want to be known as the guy who can gun down any other pilot no matter what trick they can pull. I will remember this school 10 years from now but it won't be anything specific. I honestly don't know what people will remember me by.

Reflection

The only challenging part was finding minor comments in the story that were historically accurate. I thought I used my class time wisely, and the only thing I would change about my story would be to finish it.

Reporter

Question 1: Who was your commanding officer?
Response: General Hiram Berdan.

Question 2: What was your mission?
Response: To assassinate Abraham Lincoln.

Question 3: What did you do for the Confederate Army.
Response: I was one of Berdan's sharpshooters.

The time was around 1900. I was the new member of the platoon. We were about half way over Khe San to infiltrate the infamous Hanoi Hilton to rescue the POW's when the chopper began to hover. The pilot gave the platoon leader the thumbs up and told him to jump when ready. The platoon leader backed up and yelled to us "Alright men, were cocked, locked, and ready to rock". then looking over at me he said "Keep your eyes peeled private, we don't want you tripping over any land mines." We grabbed our rifles and jumped out of the helicopter. A couple of minutes had passed and the seemingly peaceful jungle exploded with gunshots. All I could think of was that PT session were the platoon leader decided to ambush us with a forein weapon. After looking back he said "This is the AK-47 assault weapon, the preffered weapon of your enemy. It makes a distinct sound when fired at you. So remember it".

CAP

Last night I promoted to Cadet Senior Airman in the Civil Air Patrol. All I need to do now is to pass a physical fitness and comprehensive exam and then I will become a Cadet Staff Sergeant.

Stream of Consciousness

I have been alone for weeks my scouter has been shot dead and I have been on the run to find a perfect place to just sit and pick off my targets one by one. I finally found the perfect spot. The top of a cliff that just peers over the battlefield, as soon as I blow the brains of the officers on the battefield I can end this war. I feel my hands grow tight, he is a sitting duck. But something in my mind comes over me that just won't let me squeeze the trigger. What if I miss? What if they find me? Overcoming my anxieties measure wind speed and move the drop sights a couple feet to the left of his head. I squeeze the trigger. Perfect shot.
