I’m taking the liberty of blending some of Jason’s story (Author, Deliberate Discomfort) with my own.

                I was uncomfortable.

                There was no denying it. Unnerved, stressed, under pressure, what-ever you wanted to call it. That was, of course, by design.

                I was at the crossroads of “how the hell did I get here?” and “what will happen next?”

                I reached for my M60 and immediately began panicking when I realized it felt light. It struck me - I’d forgotten to load my weapon before (tandem) jumping out of the C-5 into this place with Commander Van Camp. 

                Instinct took over. I jumped to my feet and began running across the beach while yelling “Don’t Shoot, Don’t Shoot!” I made it to the cliff, looked back, saw nobody and asked myself “where the hell is Commander Van Camp?" and "what will he do next?"
