They’re all proud and ready to give and do their best. They’re Marines and damn proud of it after all. But one of them is different from the rest. They all know it. They’ve known it since the day the Sgt observed them before taking a few aside for a more detailed review before selecting one of them for more advance training. After that day he stopped being just like them. He’s still one of them, they still trust him to have their backs and know he’s still a Marine but it’s more. Without even realizing it they turn to him for advice and the critique of their maneuvers more than the trainer. He’s become their true leader. And more than a few of them have asked about the Sgt and if he’s taking on more Marines.
