I had fallen asleep after getting into my bunk when I woke up to the sound of the emergency siren on the ship. I thought I had dreamt it but it kept going and I knew that it was legitimate.
I jumped out of bed I went to my wardrobe and grabbed my uniform and threw it on, grabbed my body armour from the back of the door, helmet and sidearm from my safe and desk. I sprinted out of my bunk and ran for dear life to the top deck of the aircraft carrier.
On the way to the top deck I ran through the lower decks nearly knocking people over because I wasn’t watching where I was going, when I reached the deck I looked around to see if my unit was there, I spotted the officer from my squad and I walked over and spoke to them, because of the noise I had to shout so he could hear me.
“What’s going on”
“Enemy been spotted near the ship” he called back
“Where”
“Over there” he pointed to the port side of the ship.
I turned round so I could see what he was pointing at, I looked over the sider of the ship and scanned the water with my eyes and this is where I spotted a small speed boat with multiple people in it circling around the ship.
I pointed to the small boat and looked back and saw Robbie emerge from the bunks and I beckoned him over. When he reached me I explained what was happening and I asked him to give them commands to see if they would listen to us so we wouldn’t have to use lethal force, he ran to the tannoy and shouted commands to the boat.
“Turn your boat around or we will open fire”
I watched as they were talking on the boat, one of the men grabbed a speakerphone and stared talking.
“No we need to come aboard”
“Why do you need to” shouted Robbie.
“You have someone that belongs to us”
After they had said that I knew that we needed to check to see if there was anyone on the boat that we had taken on another raid. We radioed to the bottom decks and we asked if we had any prisoners.
We received an answer and we were told that we didn’t have anyone on board, we relayed this to the boats and they were sitting there talking to themselves. I watched as the men looked at the fully armed aircraft carrier and they decided that it wasn’t worth the hassle trying to board us. I was glad that they didn’t carry on with the plan as I could see rocket propelled grenade launchers on the speedboat.
We were told to stay on full alert after the sighting of the first speedboat, our officer in command had seen many smaller crafts coming close to our ship. When they came closer we were told to hold so they could come closer, the 50 cal machine guns were loaded and we waited for the command.
The officer spoke to us over the radio we had in our helmets and we were given the command to open fire at the small boats. I switched the fire selector on my rifle to single shot and fired a couple rounds at the closest boat. I heard the machine guns start to fire and I watched as the water around the boats were being thrown in the air.
After we opened fire on the small crafts I noticed that they were turning around, a lot of the men on the smaller boats were trying to avoid the bullets from our ships we were glad that we had defended the ship from being boarded.
Once we had been able to defend the ship we had some time to relax before we were debriefed. I sat down next to one of the planes that were sat on the deck.
I placed my rifle next to me, I reached into my pocket of my uniform and I took out the picture of my mum which I carried and started to wish I was at home with my family.
Whilst I was thinking to myself I heard footsteps coming towards me, that is when I looked up and saw Robbie walking towards me with another sailor that I knew. I put the picture back into my pocket and I waved to him, they saw me and they walked over, when they were with me I stood up and grabbed my rifle and started chatting to the sailor when Robbie started to talk.
“We are grabbing some food do you want to join”
“Yes please”
“Come on let’s put our equipment back”
We walked across the deck and entered the equipment room. When we were in the equipment room we locked up our rifles. Once the rifles were locked away we walked to our bunks and put our helmets and body armour away so that we could have dinner. We walked into the mess hall where we grabbed our food and sat down, we had our dinner and chatted for a while.
We had Mac and cheese that night with sponge pudding with custard for pudding. We needed the meal after the day we had, it gave us time to relax.
Robbie and I always got along after meeting each other when I first joined the navy, we were always looking at bringing new people into our friendship group.
We knew that we wanted to get to know the new sailor, we had met before but never had the opportunity to get to know him.
“What’s your name”
“It’s Brandon”
“Brandon I’m Jason And this is Robbie”
We were sat there eating our food and talking for a while which was brilliant we were talking about our time in the boot camp when we joined the navy. I looked at the time and I was shocked that we had been there for hours.
I had to excuse myself as I had to go to the Gym because I had been trying to get fitter so I would be able to join the marines in the future. I walked to my bunk to grab my gym clothes. I made it to the gym and I went to the changing rooms because I always had a shower before heading to the gym because a shower helps my muscles to loosen up.
I stripped my uniform off and placed it in the locker, I took my boxers off and hung them on the inside of the locker and walked to the shower I got in and turned the water on, I got under the warm water and was enjoying the shower until I heard the door open and someone walk in.
I wasn’t expecting people to come in so I wanted to have a look becauseI was curious to who it was that walked in to the changing room and I poked my head around the door and saw that it was Brandon, he was getting changed into his gym clothes.
I was excited to see him that I shouted over and he looked up, his face suddenly went red when he saw that I was naked which I forgot about. He looked down and mumbled.
“Wait for me we, can go to the gym together”
“Yeah that’s fine”
I jumped out of the shower and ran to the locker where my bag was on the floor, I grabbed my shorts and my T-shirt and threw them on I looked around to see if Brandon was ready to head into the gym. He was ready and we walked into the room and we were there for an hour on the machines getting a sweat on.
Brandon was so hot when I looked over at him during our work out he had been wearing a pair of blue shorts that were a little too tight for him which showed off his bulge which was amazing. His T-shirt was a little too small which showed his chest with the muscles that were stretching the shirt out over his muscles. I knew that I wanted to fuck him but I wasn’t sure how I was going to get around to fucking him, we were working out near each other and I had a hard time concentrating on my workout, I kept looking at him the whole hour we were in the gym.
