i was 27 when i received the letter saying that i was required to join the combat medics in the upcoming war.

it was morning when i read it , eating breakfast with my wife, when i told her i was going , she started to complain.

she said things like "why are they sending you ", "could they send someone else", "please don't go"

i continued to read the latter, it says i have 1 week to prepare and they would pick me up then

after spending 1 week preparing and being together with my wife, they eventually came.

"knock" knock"

i told my wife goodbye ,then she tightly hugged me i could see tears falling down from her face , she said goodbye and be safe , don't die.

i reply by hugging her and kissing her in the lips , then i turned around and opened the door i saw two soldiers , they were telling me to follow them and so i did.

before completely closing the door i saw my wife crying on the floor

after a couple of hours i was in a bus with people that were also chosen to join the combat medics. i graduated top of class in med school i was on my way to be becoming a doctor before this happened but now i'm on my way to the naval base where we will be trained for 4 years before going to the frontlines

the bus eventually stopped and the training begun ,we were taught how to hold a gun, how to defend yourself unarmed , battle formations, do's and don't's in the field ,how to survive.

Stolen story; please report.

5 years later

i was promoted to HM2: Hospital Corpsman Second Class for my outstanding work during my training , it did not matter to me, my only goal was to come back home to my wife.

i was assigned to the frontlines ,where most of fighting happened together with 6 of my colleagues , we did our best to treat wounded men but medicines were scarce,sometimes when we were running low on anesthesia ,we operate without it ,pulling bullets from the bodies ,cutting off infected limb ,stitching wounds, its was terrible

1 year later

it was the middle of winter i was assigned to an outpost to treat more than a hundred men

it was going smoothly before the outpost was attacked ,all of my staff and the soldiers died then they got to me ,

i was smoking , looking at reports when i heard the alarmed, suddenly a big explosions could be heard through the walls of my office

"BOOM"

what follows were gunshots and people shouting ,i quickly took my pistol from my side and run towards the door. when suddenly

"BOOM"

the place where the door was, was gone and i was sent flying towards the wall

i hit the wall with my head causing me to black out
