PART 5 OF THE STORY...

A couple of miles down the road Katie is scrubbing her hands after helping her last patient of the day. Shortly before 1600hrs a large Drill Sgt came came walking up to the front desk. His "brown round" (Drill Sgt hat) sat perfectly parallel with the ground atop his head. He had two soldiers following him in the door, one had some swelling around his left eye and walking with a bit of a limp while the other soldier had whads of toilet paper shoved in his nose in a futal attempt to stop the bleeding from what was most likely a broken nose. Katie has seen this plenty of times. These two baby-faced soldiers were coming from the barracks over at Delta 2-19 (a basic training unit for infantrymen located on Sand Hill). As she was patching up the young soldier with the broken nose she the got the story. These two soldiers were in week six of training and according to this soldier the platoon was sick of getting "smoked" (made to do push-ups, sit-ups, flutter-kicks, and various other physical exercises) for the other soldier's (the one with the messed up eye) mistakes. So the soldier with the broken nose, after their most recent "smoking", had had enough. After the Drill Sgt had left, he walked over to the soldier who had been late to formation and started yelling at him and shoved him. Next thing he new, the soldier he just shoved punched him right in the nose. Needless to say a fight broke out.
After she had finished patching up the young soldier she escorted him back to his Drill Sgt. (Little did Katie know, her beuatiful face and tender touch would be the highlight of this young soldiers experience at Fort Benning.)
