Law of the universe is to keep move forward towards your goals no matter the path. Here is another excerpt from a bigger project that I felt would keep the creative juices flowing. Enjoy.

Living under the twinkling stars of Trek Nawa for almost a moon phase, our mission kept getting extended, but no one knew how much longer. Living amongst the land and immersing ourselves in an environment to survive was a skill set that was learned in war. We all knew how to blend into our atmosphere like an octopus hiding from its predator. Let me break down exactly what the higher-ups sitting in their warm offices, sleeping in their warm beds, and eating their warm meals wanted from the Recon Marines in Trek Nawa. To take three platoon-sized elements and make a single file line with a double broad jump of space between each of us, morphing into a snake of inferred red patches on our helmets only seen through the night vision tubes I looked through while making sure nothing happened to the entourage who inserted with us. Who can now say they were in a gunfight and held power to call for extraction at a drop of a dime if they felt in danger. These raccoons wanted every Marine from each platoon under Charlie Company to walk, skip, run, and jump through the ultimate ninja warrior course of Trek Nawa. The number of patrols conducted gave each of us the practice needed to be ninjas through the night; and earned ourselves a level up to the longer distance course requiring us to be lighter, alpine style. A lot of lessons came about our time in Trek Nawa, not sure how, but the first mission turned into the pre-season that prepared us for what we all were about to encounter, similar to an alpine climber staring up at the face of a route with a perfect weather window, and no other direction than forward.
