teams play and cadet protocols were relaxed.  He was able to sit next to his brother and forget about problems and difficulties while they watched the game.  He had noticed these girls during their practices, since the soccer and lacrosse fields abutted, but he’d never actually paid them much attention.  And, he hadn’t realized Ron would be there.
    “When did you start watching girls play soccer, Ron?”
    “Until this year, I never did.  But, Marty and I decided we had to see what all the buzz was about.  We already knew what a freak Missy McCrea was, of course, but we decided we had to see her out here for ourselves.  Just watch … you’ll see.”  Ronald laughed and leaned forward, arms on his knees.
    “I know she’s on the team.  Why are you calling her a freak?”
    Martin was seated on Ronald’s other side and when Ron ignored his brother, he spoke up. “It’s sort of a private joke, Don.  McCrea thinks it’s funny and calls herself that whenever it’s only with one of us.  But, don’t you ever call her that.  And, don’t ever let any of her friends hear you say that about her either.”
    Donald looked around and could see Tracy with a huge group of her classmates, which not only included all the so-called Quigby girls but several guys as well.  He and Andrew had made a point of having her notice them when they’d first arrived.  Now, after seeing such a large group of Missy admirers gathered there and hearing how his brother and Martin were describing her, his curiosity was fully piqued.  Yeah, he’d heard some crazy things about Missy McCrea but surely most of those things were greatly exaggerated.
    Some he knew were not.  Her marksmanship on both their Rifle Team and Combat Weapons Team was a matter of record.  She’d broken all the earlier records and was constantly setting new ones every time she competed.  But … that rumor about her actually proving herself in combat as a sniper that past summer?  Killing three guys from twelve hundred meters while serving with a Special Forces A-Team over in Afghanistan?  Surely that was merely part of the hype going around, with her being written up as one of the female soldiers serving in combat.
    She did have those medals and the Combat Infantryman Badge.  Until recently, women weren’t able to receive the CIB because it required actually being assigned to an infantry or Special Forces unit.  But, women were now allowed in such units and some, like Missy, had managed to earn this badge.  And she also had Jump Wings.  She and Tracy had gone to jump school just before she’d resigned to go over to Afghanistan.  Who does that, resigning to go be a common grunt, anyway?  But, then she’d returned, just in time for the start of classes at the academy.
    She and Tracy just seemed so normal, always nice to him and treating him like he was somehow special.  It indeed had gotten embarrassing but as these past few weeks had gone by, things had definitely improved for him.  And, those damn Quigby girls had made that happen.  More and more, guys were asking him how they could get some of that.  The magic.  The special assistance.  The girls had taken the target off his back.
    So, he watched the game.  And, he watched Missy.
    Andrew said, “Holy shit, did you see what she just did?”  Two opponents had tried to intentionally block Missy, willingly sacrificing themselves by charging in front of her at the same time.  Both girls were large and it was obvious they had tried to take her out, colliding very hard, although they tried to make it appear an accident.  But, Missy somehow plowed through and maintained control of the ball.  Before the referee had a chance to declare a foul, Missy had raced down the field and then had kicked a perfect shot past the goalie, scoring for Army.
    The two girls who had smashed into Missy both needed help getting off the field.  The sound when their bodies had each impacted with Missy had been what
