The so-called experience brings steadiness, but in fact, it also loses a lot.
"Captain, isn’t Captain Hutchinson coming over?"
When everyone was eating well and having a good chat, Nathan Foster suddenly spoke out of turn.
However, as soon as he finished, he received a variety of dissatisfied looks, which made him realize that his words weren’t exactly appropriate.
Nathan Foster was perplexed. Although he had been training recruits and hadn’t been around his forces for a while, he was also aware of their situation.
Theoretically, although there is a competitive meaning between the two teams, it shouldn’t have reached the point where one wants to hack at another just for talking.
They usually train on their own, so Foster didn’t find it strange that he hadn’t seen them today, but things might not be as simple as he had imagined.
What exactly happened when he wasn’t looking?
Then, Nathan Foster heard a weird voice next to him, saying, "They are on holiday today."
"What holiday?", Foster was even more puzzled.
Today is not a special day. It was a habit for them to have a bonfire party. They would pick one day each month to celebrate birthdays together. This month they picked today because there was a week-long field training coming up, so they might as well indulge a bit before going through the grueling training.
"Stop playing coy," Rowdy Brightwill passed a scallop to him, then his hand slapped on the table, "They are still in selection. Glenn Hutchinson sent half of them back, today it’s probably for the rest to rest well."
Pft--, the scallop he had just put in his mouth was spat back out, Nathan Foster looked at Rowdy Brightwill with disbelief, his eyes wide open, "Still in selection process?"
On the other side, Drake Easton glanced at him and added, "All those guys are new recruits".
New recruits.
With those words out of his mouth, the surprise on Nathan Foster’s face even grew, and he fell into a strange silence.
So, those tough guys who seemed as if they didn’t care for their own lives, they were not officially recognized team members?
Nathan Foster only felt shocked, an inexplicable shock.
At that, the others gradually fell silent too.
They have gone head-to-head with that team, so they are perfectly clear about their formidable capabilities. They are all great at land warfare. They admitted that they are no match for those guys, even though they excel at underwater warfare, but even their weakest member has improved so quickly in just over a month that he can catch up with their pace.
They are very formidable, and although they do not want to admit defeat, they have to acknowledge their capabilities.
So, they never imagined that those people were not even considered official team members, but were a group of people going through the selection process. And now, it was as if one day, Glenn Hutchinson got tired of seeing so many people, so he reviewed their recent performances, swiftly eliminated most of them, and sent them all back to their previous units.
This sudden occurrence seemed very much in Glenn Hutchinson’s style.
"But then again, it’s just a selection, they could have handled it internally. Did they really need to bring it over here and show off?", suddenly, a soldier asked with a frown. His question echoed the doubts of many others.
Yes, it’s just a selection, is that really necessary?
Besides, they had never seen them bring a selection process all the way to the Marine Corps before.
