New people, I do hate new people.
All right listen up all of you. Welcome to I Company HQ of the 39th. You have all been selected, by virtue of your skills and dumb fucking luck, to join the company HQ's squad, the best of the best - otherwise known as the 'things have gone to shit anyway, letting those bunch of failures into the fight wont make it any worse' squad.
Now, rules. Firstly Uniforms.
You are now part of the ninth division, the patch for which is this pretty little flower:
.
Further more you have joined the ranks of the infamous 39th Regiment, and you may well notice we have damn special helmets with this on the side:
.
Now, I do not care if you want to paint this branding on your helmet, or sew this lovely flower on your sleeve, it isn't nothing but a waste of time, paint and thread to me. However you are not for one second to assume I am devoid of tedious military tribalism! I will not, under any circumstances, tolerate some other damn unit's insignia in the place of what should be there! I have a knife and a pot of green paint and I WILL use them!
So who will you be obeying without question from now on then!?
Americans!
So who will you be obeying without question from now on then!?
The Company's commanding officer is Captain Heath, and it has been since the last fellow took a bullet to the lung back in Sicily. The Man has stormed more beaches, bunkers and Kraut bastards then you will likely get the chance to now, but he's a fair guy. A nice guy in fact, suppose he can afford to be when he has the NCOs he does.
Speaking of which Armistead is our 1st Sgt. He is your go to man if you have some form of a problem, and the man who you will look for direction from in combat. He is the most senior NCO in the company, and when he asks you to jump you have no business quibbling with him over height, he will simply expect you to go as high as you can.
Sgt 'Sparky' Philora is our resident technical expert. He is in charge of things communications, and anything else too complicated for idiots like you to understand.
My name Cpl Bellefleur and I will be your clerk for the rest of your miserable lives. Out here I control your passes and you promotions, your requisitions and your rations, your penalisation and your pay. In short I fucking control you.
And finally you should all know the 3 Ms - Marsha, Mindham and McKenzie. These three are veterans of the unit, they are the people who you will look to immediately in the field for guidance. If these people tell you to do something, you jump straight to it.
And one last thing, as far as my paperwork says, y'all transferred here as privates, and I do believe in paperwork, and a proper respect for army administration. If you think there is a problem with this paperwork, you file an official complaint, until that is resolved I will not tolerate the wearing of rank insignia above that which my files decree, and will get out my pocket knife of badge removal.
Now, onto the food and sleeping arrangements...
OK pup tents will be placed just away from the command HQ so those of you who get to stand down will not get under our damn feet. Now, you may well have smuggled in some non military issue items. Now I don't care about that, unless I see 'em. If I see 'em then I have got to care, so keep them hidden.
Now as for food we are on the good old dependable C-Ration, I know don't all whoop for joy at once, but at least all of you will get a couple of cans of grub that can be easily heated up. If you have managed to smuggle any other food stuffs in with you, then have the decency to keep it on the quiet, or share it around, there is a war on you know.
Organisation on the front lines will be determined at the time. We are one single squad, and will have to divide ourselves into smaller operational units to cover all tasks as needed.

Be advised, HQ has one correctly marked helmet shell with tan strap available for issue if required. (The liner has no sweatband).
I'll be in my pup tent. Also I'm taller and broader than you Cpl. Just sayin....
But the Cpl is broader in the other way......
Careful other wise the cpl will have pealing pataoes for the whole weekend
At least I won't get shot at then!
WHERE you peal those potatoes was not mentioned...

Gonna go and 'make' the C Rations tonight, last chance for anyone to let us know of any important dietary concerns....
Be sure to get a good stock in so that there are plenty of rations for us hungry Germans to liberate when we over-run your positions.

I've told ya, we have plenty in for those Germans with the wit to see the writing on the wall, and surrender like good sensible boys. Those foolish enough to carry on fighting should not have the quality grub [sic] wasted on 'em.

I think we can save you the walk to our positions, we'll just pop by yours and have a two-day social. Hope Craig has a lot of gold paint 'cos he's going to need a lot of tins. Who needs ammo limits!
I would suggest, for those that haven't, getting one of these [link]http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=P38+can+opener[/link]
