All the students were asked by the instructor to change into their military uniforms and gather at the field early in the morning. Elise was quite tall, so she stood at the far side of the line. The instructor, Harry Miller, was a young chap that seemed to be in his twenties.

He had dark skin and a sculpted face. “Today’s the first day of your military training. Let’s start with the most basic military posture.” After looking around, he pointed at a girl standing the furthest from him. “Come to the front and demonstrate.” Janice Garcia, the girl whom he called upon, strode forward before standing upright and motionlessly like a tree. Her posture was flawless. “See this? This is the standard military posture.
