Weapons Training

Alannah had awoken bright and early with wanting to get herself in to a daily routine. It would be officially her first day on duty, first on the list was weapons training. Alannah couldn't help but feel a bit nervous and excited at the same time with the idea of weapons training. There had been a few people from her world had used the Tau'ri weapons, even during the the war with the Gou'ld few got there hands near them and no one could say it wasn't amazing to see how many bullets could be fired from such a small weapon in a second compared to there Gatling gun as SG-2 called it. She remembered watching from a window a squad of Jaffa loyal to the Gou'ld pin down a group of her peoples troop and as all seemed lost a Tau'ri soldier managed to turn the tide with his weapon. With one volley of bullets he took out thee Jaffa. Personal she had no for or against opinion on weapons, but it helped like it did at home, well why not she taught.

Before leaving the Tau'ri home world she had been kitted out with all uniform requirements, while on base her own people required her to wear a badge representing her own home world and this was there way to get themselves noticed.

As Alannah entered the training room she found herself lost right away. She found not a soul in the room which made her wonder if this was a good idea after all. As she stood there hoping her weapons instructor would make a show, she could easily make a jump and later send a message tell that she was too busy to of attended the training. The more she taught the more it seem like a good idea and yet her nerves prevented her from leaving.

After a couple of minutes a lady entered and no sooner had she saw Alannah did she leave. Alannah soon worked out to herself the lady clearly wasn't to keen on training newbies or so that is what she taught.

Tom wasn't sure why he'd gotten the training assignment, as of when he'd reported in to check the list there was only one confirmed trainee, taking the few minutes he had before they were supposed to arrive he went and got the strongest brew he could find and slowly made his way back.

Allowing another woman to pass out be then stepped in taking a big gulp as he did. letting out the semi held in breath he spotted the brunette woman with the strange badge, then again a lot of that could be said about him and his wonderful Jelly bean AUSCAM fatigues. "You gotta be... he looked down at the clip board, a strangely low tech solution for this place, but he liked it. "Alannah?" He said the rough Australian As more than likely ruining the pronunciation of her name beyond anything she had ever head.

"Says here side arm qualification and PDW familiarization, shouldn't take too long. We'll give it a few before we get goin' " he said "what kind of weapons you're world got?" He asked trying get a base of her knowledge, as well as pass the time.

Alannah gave a little jump as Tom spoke, unaware he was right behind her, been to focused on if she should stay or go and what the instructor would look like. She got her answer. With a glimmer of a smile at the rough Tau'ri she took in accent that was something she found new and Alannah liked new things.

In a playful tone Alannah spoke with a soft half Scottish / Southern Irish accent.

" Well I'm guessing your not custom to hello's, Well I'm am and its my pleasure to meet you . Moving away from the playful tone she kept her smile and continued," Well I have fired a revolver, sadly both time it hurt my arm like mad afterwards." Her
eyes wandered the top of her head as she taught the best way to explain her peoples technology level," Are level is around pre World War One, Well we were. Things have a habit of changing quickly when the Gou'ld show up." Alannah shifted her legs and took a breath.

" You have the advantage over me, you know my name and I am yet to know yours or rank." she had kept her voice soft not wanting to get on his bad side, but what she did do was open her eyes wide when she finished talking and give a light smile while tilting her head.

"Well I'm guessing your not custom to hello's, Well I'm am and its my pleasure to meet you ." He nodded, "Nice to meet you too, hello isn't something I'm used to, at least on a firing range." He gave a sympathetic smile, he hadn't meant to be rude, but as fun as shooting could be, it wasn't something he did idly for fun, it was more of a on the job type thing.

"Well I have fired a revolver, sadly both time it hurt my arm like mad afterwards." He nodded and allowed her to continue. "Our level is around pre World War One, Well we were. Things have a habit of changing quickly when the Goa'uld show up." He knew that much, and that mostly the Americans and some alien allies had taken them down, out manned, out gunned and behind in technology, yet they had prevailed, it seemed technology wasn't everything.

"You have the advantage over me, you know my name and I am yet to know yours or rank." He supposed he offered her those. "Corporal Tom Chambers. though as for the revolver hurting your arms, I doubt a 9 mil will cause much of an issue, but only one way to find out. What is you are are doing here? if I may ask?" he said before taking another sip from his coffee.

Weapons evals weren't exactly at the top of Izzy's list of "fun things to do in the Navy." However, orders were orders, so the redhead had no choice. So after a fast breakfast of eggs, toast, some bacon, fruit and more coffee than was probably healthy, the young medic made her way to the Range. After checking out a practice rifle, and doing the necessary paperwork, Izzy headed into the training area. She secured the not so sexy protective goggles over her face, and secured her red hair in a ponytail-it was dangerous to have it in the way and since it was TECHNICALLY her day off, she'd not put it back in Uniform standards.

She looked around. Not too many people were there. She knew most everyone-in passing-because of her job, but she didn't know too many people WELL. She smiled, and nodded at the older female and young man who stood nearby. Chambers, as she recalled, was his name.

Ma'am. Corporal. Evals, as well?! Brilliant, Iz. Bore people to death. She shrugged, and a new paper "man" was brought out for her. She took a deep inhale. How are you? There, that was better.

Alannah's eyes were locked on Tom as he spoke  "Corporal Tom Chambers. though as for the revolver hurting your arms, I doubt a 9 mil will cause much of an issue, but only one way to find out. What is you are are doing here? if I may ask?" 

" Despite the fishing, " Alannah raised one eyebrow with a hint of a smile as she spoke before her speaking went back to normal again," I'm A Historian, Bookworm as a Tau'ri put it. Why here all do As one of are leaders who once fought the Gou'ld in the rebellion once said, Well translated ' Blood is thicker than water, and so when one's family is in trouble all most play there part, ' he died a minute later after the speech," She tilted her head as she continued, " and than half his men died."Her eyes locked back on to Tom," I'm drifting off here ain't I."

" OK ready for training when you are, Can I ask a question even if it sounds strange ?" Before given him a chance to reply she continued " What keeps the sword in your hand ?"
With that Alannah approached Tom ready for training.

Alannah just smiled to the Lady with her attention been more focused on Tom.

" Ready when you are."

"Despite the fishing, I'm A Historian, Bookworm as a Tau'ri put it. Why here all do As one of are leaders who once fought the Gou'ld in the rebellion once said, Well translated ' Blood is thicker than water, and so when one's family is in trouble all most play there part, ' he died a minute later after the speech," That was true, but the dying right after the speech had something to it " and than half his men died." Well that certainly made him feel even peachier. "I'm drifting off here ain't I."
 
He nodded. "Maybe a little, personally I'm a combat engineer, my specialty is explosives, as in I defusing them, and them exploding them, in a controlled area." Something about explosions still made that little kid in him happy. Then a redheaded yankee female came in and began to set herself up. 

"Ma'am. Corporal. Evals, as well?!" He shook his head and gestured to Alannah. "Her's not mine, Petty officer something something." He said not knowing the US Navy ranks off his head or her name. "How are you?" The newcomer continued. "Not currently slogging through fields or digging trenches, so it's on the up, you?" He asked before taking another sip as he lead Alannah to a booth a few down from Izzy. 

"I'll go get the M9." He said to Alannah before finishing the rest of his coffee and placing it on a an empty table before going grabbing the M( and couple of magazines from the Armoury.

Walking back over he places them down in the booth. "The M9, that pistol there." he pointed vaugely at it. "It's pretty much a point and shoot type thing, nothing fancy, load the magazine in, chamber a round and you can then do two different things, pull the hammer back and then pull the trigger or just pull the trigger, if you don't pull the hammer back it will take a little more to fire the weapon but it reduces confusion for people not familiar with our kinds of firearms or firearms in general, which for the purposes of my sanity and yours I'm assuming is none, it's not loaded so pick it up and get a feel for it." This was going to be amusing for him one way or another.

Izzy gave Tom a warm smile, and one to Alannah, as well.

Her's not mine, Petty officer something something She sighed.

Petty Officer Isobel Stevens. Corpsman Second Class. It was how they did "it"-the whole military introductions. Name, rank, rate. At least she wouldn't be alone for this. And, if I am not mistaken, you are Corporal someone? Thank goodness that the Stripes were pretty much the same in all countries' militaries.

Not currently slogging through fields or digging trenches, so it's on the up, you? Her brain attempted to not bungle up the Australian slang he used. She gathered that he was discussing his job, and so she nodded again.

And I am not stiching up Marines, cleaning up blood, or issuing shots, so likewise. She turned to Alannah then.

Don't let him talk you into a P-90. It's too big for your purposes. Also, aim for the stomach; you have a larger chance of hitting your target. Being a Southerner, Izzy knew a few things about shooting. She'd gone hunting a few times with her father and brothers, and camping, plus her military training. So she took a sip of water from her canteen, and got herself into a proper firing stance. She waited for the Deck chief to issue the all clear so she could begin.

Alannah followed Tom to the booth and listened carefully as he spoke. What he said made little sense but from his motions on how he held the weapon she tried to fill in the gaps. She held the gun and her first taught was how light it was compared to her own peoples weapons.

" It's a lot lighter than I taught,"

She looked the gun over before speaking again, " One thing you lost me at, you need a hammer or use it as a hammer or is this some slag I'm missing. Cause I think I picked that part up wrong. " she raised her eyebrows and gave a smile trying to pull a cute face till her mouth began to speak again. " Wouldn't want a recap of my last weapons instructor," She quickly frowned her eyebrows to herself realising she had once again spoke to much," He's OK, I only shot him in the foot or leg.." her voice quickly lowered as she finally reached the point she hadn't wanted to reach " He screamed at me to not to point a loaded gun at my feet and by reaction to the scream I let of a shot," her eyes looked up as she rethought of the moment, " Yes, first scream I shot in the foot and the scream of pain, that's when I shot him in the leg. Not on purpose, he was loud and spooked me. I was wrong it was foot and leg. So twice"

Izzy smiled lightly as a bullet sailed through the air, and landed with a satisfing THWACK smack in the middle of her paper target. Gut shot! This made her happy; she was trying to achieve her Master Marksman ribbon/certification. She had her basic, and her Sharpshooter was the next step, but maybe she could bypass that and go straight to expert. Not that she CARED exactly-she wasn't planning on needing to know how to shoot once she left the Service, but it would be a good brag, right?

Next to her, Alannah spoke.

It's a lot lighter than I taught... Izzy nodded. They were, really. It was mostly getting used to the feel of the metal in your hands that was the trick. She let off another bullet, this one aimed slightly left her first. If she was going to kill her target, she'd need more than one bullet in the stomach. She'd need at LEAST three, and her trainer was requiring five to eight.

Yes, it is. It's really getting used to the feel of the metal and how your hands and eyes work together. Just practice, and you'll get it.. She adjusted her goggles. Alannah cracked a joke about her last weaps cert.

Wouldn't want a recap of my last weapons instructor He's OK, I only shot him in the foot or leg.. He screamed at me to not to point a loaded gun at my feet and by reaction to the scream I let of a shot, Yes, first scream I shot in the foot and the scream of pain, that's when I shot him in the leg. Not on purpose, he was loud and spooked me. I was wrong it was foot and leg. So twice"

Izzy couldn't help it; she laughed.

A girl in Basic did that; shot our Company Commander in the foot. Needless to say, she was moved. Didn't get sent back, though, and now she hauls weapons out at Top Gun. Izzy said with a shrug, not sure if that was a good or bad thing, actually.
