So new story! yay! I hope you enjoy!

"Father, Father!"

"What is it Adriana?" her father asked.

"I just heard about Pearl Harbor! It's awful. Father what are we going to do about it? Will you declare war on who did it?"

Franklin Roosevelt opened his arms to his daughter who ran to him.

"Yes my darling. We will."

"I knew you would. I want to help."

Roosevelt pulled his daughter to arms length and looked in her eyes.

"What do you mean my child?"

"I want to go to wherever the fight is and help."

"You mean as a nurse," he said thinking he understood.

"No father. I want to fight. I want to learn how to shoot and fight!"

Roosevelt was taken aback by her excitement for the war.

"That isn't allowed," he said lost for any other words.

"Who says?" Adriana asked. "Father you are the Commander in Chief! They will do what you say!"

"Adri, I appreciate your attitude and wanting to help the cause, but you should do it from here, or as a nurse at an aid station. I don't want you fighting."

"Bur father, you fought in a war. I want to help my country like you did. I want to fight for something! I want to be a part of something bigger than myself! If I was a boy would you stop me?"

Roosevelt looked into his daughter's eyes and saw the same spark he once had for war. The spark he had for his country. She was right. He would not stop her if she was one of her brothers. She knelt in front of him so she was eye level with him.

"Father, please give me a chance to prove I can do it."

He thought for a moment then he smiled.

"Adriana, you are my blood. I know you can do it. If this is what you really want, I will make some calls. You would like to train with the army?"

A smile then graced her soft features.

"Not just the army father. I want to be with best. The 101st airborne, Easy Company Paratroopers."

Roosevelt smiled and tussled her hair.

"Why do you know so much about the war and its companies?"
"It interests me father. Thank you so much. I will make you proud."

Roosevelt pulled her into a tight hug and a tear fell from his eye.

"You already have my daughter. You already have."

**Six Weeks Later**

Captain Sobel had just finished yelling at some runner for being late when another runner came up to him.

"Captain Sobel."

The kid saluted then continued his message.

"Colonel Sink wants to see you sir."

Sobel nodded and saluted after the kid saluted him then went to Sink's office.

"Colonel Sink?" he said at the door.

"Enter," Sink said.

Sobel did and saluted the Colonel who saluted back. Sobel noticed a short man standing in the corner, but didn't think much of him, but apparently Sink did.

"Captain Sobel this is Adrian Roosevelt. He has just been transferred to your company. He wants to be a paratrooper. Adrian, this is Captain Sobel."

Adriana saluted Sobel.

"Nice to meet you sir."

Sobel shook her hand and said, "Roosevelt? As in Franklin Roosevelt?"

"Yes sir. He is my father."

Before Sobel had a chance to say anything about that, Sink ushered them out of his office saying he needed to do some paperwork. He wished Adriana luck then shut his tent flap. Sobel started to lead her to the barracks then turned to face her when they were far enough away from Sink's tent that he wouldn't be heard.

"Do you think you are special because your daddy is the commander in chief?" he asked getting very close to her face.

"No sir, quite the opposite. I don't want any special treatment because of that fact."
"Good," Sobel said. "Because you will not be getting any."

He stayed in her personal space for a few seconds longer then pointed off in the direction to her left.

"The barracks are that way," he said then left.

It took her a second to recover from his rude behavior, but she managed then turned for the barracks. When she got there she almost got hit in the face with a rolled up sock.

"Oh easy Luz you almost hit the new guy!" said a guy who wore a goofy grin as he practically skipped up to her.

"Hey new guy. My name is Muck," he stuck out his hand to Adriana.

"Adrian," she said and shook his hand.

"That asshole who almost took off your nose is George Luz. He doesn't have the best aim."

"It's alright. I just got yelled at by our Captain."

"Oh so you met that sorry excuse for a soldier," a large guy with a southern accent asked.

"Yeah he basically kissed me he was so close to my face."

"He is good at that," a tall, lanky guy said nodding to a cot next to his. "This one is open."

Adriana tossed her stuff down and sat heavily.

"Well let me introduce you to everyone," Muck offered.

He started with the guy sitting across from her.

"This here is-"

"Skip I can introduce myself," he said. "Joe Liebgott," he said and shook Adriana's hand.

Muck continued on down the line of people.

"That red haired boy over there is Malarkey, and yeah he knows it means bullshit, so don't say anything."

Malarkey aimed a boot at his head but missed.

"Next we have Perconte, then you already met George Luz, and that there is Bull Randleman. Then Bill Guarnere, Joe Toye, John Martin, Shifty Powers, Floyd Talbert and Webster."

"David Webster," he said correcting Muck.

"Yeah whatever college boy," Guarnere said.

"At least my nickname is not a sexually transmitted disease. Gonorrhea," Web shot back, and the room laughed.

"So do I get a cool nickname?" Adrianna asked.

"Oh trust me, if you're here long enough, you will get one," Perconte said.

"Often times it just ends up being some form of the person's last name," Web said.

"You see when you use words like 'often times' that is what gets you the nickname college boy," Malarkey said slapping Web's back then he looked at Adriana. "What is your last name?"

Adriana thought about lying for a few seconds but didn't have time to decide.

"Let's go boys on your feet! Sobel wants us all out for a weapon's check!" someone said bursting through the door.

There were groans throughout the group of men but they quickly grabbed their weapons and trotted outside. Adriana followed, making a point to meet Lipton on the way out.

"Adrian Roosevelt," she said shaking his hand.

"Cartwood Lipton," he said. "Good to have a new face. Watch out for Sobel though. He has the tendency to be a little rude."

"I know what you mean. He is the one Sink introduced me to."

"Well then you know you better get out there or he will have both our asses."

Adriana nodded and ran out to where the men were lined up at attention. She slipped in next to Liebgott, Toye and Martin. Liebgott smiled at her just before Sobel came yelling around a building. Everyone stiffened up as he yelled about them not being at attention.

Although she had not been at Camp Toccoa for more than ten minutes, she knew enough to do what the other men were doing. They stood patiently as Sobel paced back and forth until he spotted Perconte. He dashed over to him and yelled.

"Private Perconte have you been blousing your trousers over your boots like a paratrooper?"

"No sir," Perconte replied.

"Then explain the creases at the bottom."

Perconte had no answer because from what I could see, his trousers were not creased at all.

"No excuse sir," he said after a moment hesitation.

"Volunteering for the parachute infantry is one thing Perconte, but you have a long way to go before you prove you belong here. Your weekend pass is revoked."

Adriana couldn't see his face but from the way his back tensed she knew he was pissed. Sobel immediately moved on to Luz. Adriana would later find out that when he was around Sobel was the only time Luz was quiet and meek.

Sobel took Luz's gun and inspected it for three seconds before he said, "Dirt in the rear sight aperture. Pass revoked."

Luz let out a quiet sigh as Sobel moved on down the line. He stopped at Martin for half a second who stopped breathing until he moved on. He glanced at Bull then turned his attention to Lipton. Adriana figured he was safe because he was a Sergeant but she soon found he wasn't. No one seemed to be safe from the rath of Sobel.

"When did you sew on these chevrons Sergeant Lipton?" he asked pulling at something on his sleeve.

"Yesterday sir," Lip answered.

"Long enough to notice this," Sobel said holding up a string. "Revoked."

As Sobel walked away, I saw Lip glare at him out of the corner of his eye for half a second before returning his gaze forward. Sobel made his way over to Malarkey.

"Malarkey, Donald G," Malarkey said.

"Malarkey that is slang for bullshit isn't it?" Sobel asked snatching his gun from him.

"Yes sir," Malarkey answered.

Sobel looked over the weapon, then shoved Malarkey's gun in his face.

"Rust on the butt plate hinge spring private bullshit, revoked," he said while tossing his gun at him.

As Sobel walked away Muck glanced over his shoulder and gave Malarkey a worried glance the quickly turned back to attention.

"Name," Sobel was saying.

"Liebgott, Joseph D, sir."

Liebgott held up his gun, but Sobel seemed to know what he was going for. He pulled his bayonet.

"Rusty bayonet. You want to kill Germans Liebgott?" Sobel asked.

"Yes sir," Liebgott answered.

"Not with this," Sobel answered smacking Liebgott on the helmet with the knife.

Sobel continued as he walked back up in front of everyone.

"I wouldn't take this rusty piece of shit to war and I will not take you to war in your condition. Now thanks to these men and their infractions, every man in the company who had a weekend pass has lost it."

Suddenly his gaze was trained right on Adriana. He came up to her and said, "Name."

"Roosevelt, Adrian," she said swinging her gun around and opening it.

"Roosevelt," Sobel scoffed. "Is that Roosevelt like our President, Franklin. Delenore. Roosevelt?"

The last part he said loud and slow enough for the entire camp to hear.

"Yes sir he is my father," she said.

He seemed to mull that over for a second before he pulled on her helmet strap.

"Loose helmets will fall off in war Private. You don't want that now do you?"

"No sir," she answered.

"Then fix it private," he said. "Don't think the Germans will go easy on you because you are the President's son. I sure as hell won't."

"I wouldn't want you to sir," Adriana said.

Sobel was silent for a second then said, "Change into your PT gear. We are running currahee."

Okee everyone! tell me what you think!
