"I think the rest can wait, Sergeant."
Carolyne said as she stood and grabbed her tray. There was a lot to do today, and she'd have plenty of time to build the background for her stories. This time was for getting to know the men and women of the 75th. She didn't feel like being an outcast. "Here's hoping they have something in my size,"
she said as they passed through the doors. It wasn't like there were a lot of size 4's running around the base.

Luckily for Carolyne, it didn't take all that long to get geared up. Which wasn't to say everything fit too great; turns out the smallest size they had in the Army was, inaptly named, "small." Carolyne happened to catch her reflection off of a window when she was trying the vest on. I look like a turtle.
Carolyne winced. She got the feeling the staff sergeant didn't look quite as ridiculous when she was wearing it.

By the end of it, Carolyne had been issued everything from night vision Land Warriors to canteens and water purification tablets. It must have been sixty pounds of equipment, all told. Altogether it definitely explained why old soldiers weren't known for having great knees.
