nothing to make anything that has already happened easier. The only thing you gotta know is that if it comes down to you or them you better be ready because they don’t hesitate and they don’t wait.”
                  He nodded thanks for the heads up I just need someone to teach me how to do one of those things. My dad taught football but never did anything with guns. He thought they were dangerous.”
                  Aslin patted Jordan on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up. “By the time i’m done with you guys you are going to know so much more about weapons and rifles than you ever wanted to. Once your training is done though only those that don’t want you to be armed will have a reason to fear you with a gun. Shaun and Greg seem to have a pretty good start already like you’ve been shooting for a while.”
                  Shaun pointed to a main highway not wanting to get into any other talks that would keep the discussion on his father. “Hey here’s the last road we need to take to get into Camp Dodge hang a right we’ll be there in no time.”
                  Aslin said, “Thank god a solid road. So it’s just past this farm?”
                  Greg said, “Nope this isn’t a farm it’s where they go and play their war games on the weekends. They have a skeleton crew working most the time full of guard members that put in their forty at least that’s what my dad would say. Anyways that field has all the different types of courses all rolled into one making sure that they stay in war time shape.”
                  Aslin slowed letting the truck coast. He said, “Greg didn’t you say that all resources were being gathered when you listened to the CDC announcement yesterday? So there is a pretty good chance that those guys all got called out. I wonder if any of them came back?”
                  “Aren’t they going to let you back on either way? I mean don’t they have to if you showed them any credentials?”
                  “It depends on what their orders are. There is a hell of a good chance they aren’t letting anyone in. It might be smarter if I took a stroll in there before I put you guys in arms way to.”
                  Jordan asked, “Do you think that you could get in there?”
                  Aslin stopped the truck checking out the road ahead of him and saw a barrage of military vehicles not parked, not on guard but crashed into each other in the street. They weren’t smoking or on fire but from the blackened pavement it didn’t take a genius to try and see that something was seriously wrong here. Aslin drove the truck up slowly as they got closer they looked at the guards entrance and could see that the entrance was not accessible. Instead of having a metal gate or a wooden gate it was worse. They saw large foot thick poles that rose from the ground and enough of them that there would be no chance of getting through. Shaun said, “We are going to have to go in on foot. You think that’s a good idea Aslin?”
                  “Fuck no it’s a horrible idea. Let’s take a minute and think about this though.”
                  Jordan said, “Well what the hell do we know about this type of thing. What are you asking us for?”
                  “Because it’s your life on the line. You aren’t a kid anymore, you aren’t waiting for mom and dad to tell you what to do. If you want to survive all this shit you need to think like a man and you need to be able to make decisions for yourself. It’s important, don’t be a follower, none of you be a follower, you’re going to have to make tough choices and if you follow someone thinking that they know more than you then you probably aren’t going to last to damn long.”
                  Shaun said, “How about we pull in a little further and see what it
