I was quite impressed with how advanced the base looked, it was a state-of-the-art type of base. I went to settle down, check-in, and report to the person in charge of the base. They gave me my schedule which quite annoyed me when I first took a look at it. I had training Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
My schedule was kind of weird, early in the morning I had to join them for military training too, which annoyed me to the point of almost talking back to the commander but I swallowed my words and decided against it. I saluted him and left, just when I was leaving he thanked me for my services but I still headed out without saying a word.
Someone escorted me to my room, when I got there it was a small room with no roommates. I felt like if I stretched out my arm and it was two of me we could touch each of the sides of the room. After settling in my room I went to the cafeteria to grab a bite to eat.
The food that was quite terrible as if it's been processed, it felt like I was eating prison food. On top of that, I was extremely broke, because they didn't allow me to take any of my cards or cash with me due to the mission and high risk of getting caught. They didn't want any of us to bring in our IDs or wallets or have anything on us, so anything I was supposed to have was back home in the states.
I decided that I would get a part-time job and go looking for one after settling down and unpacking. After settling down in my room for a few hours it was time for practice and it was going to be the first time I was going to be meeting my new team-mates, so I was a little excited.
The basketball gym was a bit further away from my dorm so I just jogged all the way out there and made it there in about 20 minutes. I was a little bit late to practice but I eventually made it to the gym. When I got inside there were a couple of people doing suicides and some people were doing push-ups.
I walked in and an older guy saw me and immediately recognized me and said "you must be Eazy nice to meet you, I'm coach Andre, and this is our team called The Ground Force. We've been around for many years and we have both males and females in our teams".
This surprised me when I saw this short fast girl running back and forth on the suicide line but that was just the tip of the ice because I then asked him if that girl was part of the bench. Coach Andre shook his head and said" no, that's our star point guard, her name is Paige and she's also the captain of the team.
I had a headache when I thought about being on the same team with a female, it's either she was going to be bossy or very timid and I didn't like that but I didn't have any say in it because I just came to play basketball and not judge anybody.
Coach Andre stopped the practice and started to introduce me to everybody. " Hey guys this is our new recruit Eazy, he will be joining us in our team and will be a great addition. Eazy here was a superstar back in his state and using all of our resources we were able to obtain him. With him, on the team, I'm sure we will be able to get the big cup".
Everybody started laughing when they thought they would get the big cup. They had never even made it to the playoffs let alone get to the finals to win the whole thing. I waved at them and said "hi my name is Eazy and it's great to be here please take good care of me" I stood at attention and saluted.
They all laughed and started introducing themselves. Paige went first, she was about 5'5, brown skin, with a slightly thick body. I can tell through how uniform that she was trying to hide all her juicy curves and plump chest. The look I gave her did not escape her eyes as she smirked and said:" so you're one of those perverts huh".
Everybody started laughing as I said "no, I was just admiring your figure but that probably won't happen ever again" this caused everybody to laugh out loud. Next up was their small forward Khalid, he was slightly shorter than me standing at 6'1 and seemed to be from Hawaii due to the skin tone that he had but I couldn't say, he told me that he was from Hawaii shocking me.
He was so short for a small forward and playing at his position but I didn't comment on that and I knew that he would probably be bullied by all the other teams small forwards in games. Next up was Gonfreak, he was the power forward, he was slightly taller than me standing at 6'4.
Gonfreak was a Caucasian with freckles on his face and seemed to be very timid as he shyly introduced himself. I looked up at these people in the starting lineups and thought no
wonder these guys are losing so much.
Everybody here squeaked like a mouse but if I had said that it probably would have added salt to the wound so I just kept quiet as the Center finally introduced himself, his name was Aldrich and was standing at 6'8. His height was not bad but he seemed to be a little bit overweight.
I knew that he probably couldn't keep up with us in the game's going back and forth but once again I did not comment. Aldrich was a black guy with bushy hair, he only said his name and nodded at me. I nodded back as Coach Andre came and said" well Eazy will be the new starting shooting guard to join you starters so get well acquainted with him", they all welcomed me as they went to introduce the bench team too.
