I love you, I won't kill you

At this point, there are about 39 hours before Apple CEO Steve Jobs officially launches the first-generation iPhone.Hundreds of fans lined up early to snag the phone outside all of Apple's retail stores across the country.

Just like the enthusiasm of Thanksgiving "Black Friday" can not only be attributed to Apple fans, but also to those relatives and friends in the Whitingfield Naval Exchange Center.These relatives and friends from all over the country stand here with only one purpose, which is to witness the coming of the important moment.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the captain of the training wing of the base stood at the front of the trainee team.Looking back and forth with satisfaction at the student pilots standing in a row, he said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen! Today is an important moment, do you know that?"

"Yes, sir!" All the students, including Amanda, replied loudly with smiles on their faces.

"No, you don't know. In 39 hours, that guy Jobs is going to start shipping the iPhone. Heck, a phone that's 'God's Phone'?!"

"Hahaha......"

When the students and the relatives and friends on one side of the venue laughed again and again, the captain smiled, "Well, let God use God's mobile phone. Anyway, it was after your 'Wing Wing' ceremony thing."

All the students stopped laughing immediately, and answered heartily, "Yes, sir!"

The captain once again solemnly said, "I know, this is a legendary and dangerous job. However, this is enough to make you and your relatives and friends feel extremely proud!! It is you who won this 'Golden Wing' An extraordinary achievement in your life, understand?"

"Yes, sir!!"

The joint captain nodded, "Well, the exciting moment has finally come! Now, when I call the name of each student, I will hand over this 'Golden Wing' to his relatives. He will relatives, come and wear it for him personally!"

"Father, it's time for my sister's show!" Vincent, who was wearing the uniform of the summer army, stood beside Nelson and said.

"Well, I know. In fact, this matter should be done by her mother." Nelson stared at his daughter intently, and quietly said something to his eldest son.

"You are our father and mother!" Vincent said to his father with a smile while looking at his sister.

"Amanda McLaren!" The captain pointed out the name of the No.1 trainee.

"Hey, Mike, the captain called you first!" Kenny whispered to Amanda beside him.

"Father, the captain's name is Amanda!" Vincent said, touching Nelson lightly.

"Uh, what? God!" Nelson came to his senses and hurried out from the crowd of relatives and friends.

After receiving a call from his daughter on Father's Day, Nelson was a little annoyed at Amanda's choice.He didn't understand why his daughter chose to become a Marine Corps helicopter pilot.

Nelson walked up to the captain with a serious expression, and said while receiving the flight badge, "Thank you, Colonel!"

"Congratulations to your daughter, becoming an honorable naval pilot!" The captain handed the badge to Nelson.

Seeing her father walking in front of the captain, Amanda didn't expect her father to really come.Looking into the crowd again, she was pleasantly surprised to see her elder brother Vincent.When her eyes swept over the faces of relatives and friends of other students, she once again found an extremely strange but somewhat familiar woman's face.

Grace, with curly golden brown hair and wearing Hermès top women's clothing, stood in the crowd not far from Nelson and his son.Staring at the daughter in the student team with tears in her eyes, she said to herself, "Sweetheart, Mommy is here to see you!"

Amanda ignored Grace's eyes and readjusted her mood to face her father, "Thank you, Daddy!"

Nelson stared at the series of Marine Corps skill badges on his daughter's left chest, and said in a calm tone, "You're welcome!" After speaking, he carefully pinned the 'Gold Wing' badge directly above his daughter's airborne badge.

"I'm so proud of you, my boy!" Nelson whispered, smiling.

"So, will you buy me a beer? Hehehe!" Amanda asked with a smile.

"No problem, kid!" Nelson nodded and walked away from his daughter.

Next, the team leader named out the names of other student pilots in turn, and their relatives and friends pinned the flight badges to the students' chests.The faces of each student and their relatives and friends were filled with touching, proud and excited expressions.

Victoria watched this scene with joy, and said to Vincent beside him, "Hey, Major, are you coming from Washington?"

Vincent looked at her, then at Alena, and replied with a smile, "Yeah, today is Amanda's graduation day."

Alena stared at Vincent's face, and couldn't help but whispered to Victoria, "Who is this Marine Corps Major?"

"Hehe, he is Amanda's brother. Why, you don't know?" Victoria said.

"God! How would I know, Amanda almost never mentions her family." Alena murmured.

"She doesn't want to say that she has her reasons, so leave her alone! If you want to know her brother, you have a chance now." Victoria showed a sly smile.

Every cadet was assigned to fly some kind of naval aircraft at the same time as he was awarded his flight certificate.The content of the order will be based on the needs of each service, and then based on the individual wishes of the pilots and the performance evaluation throughout the training period.

Amanda, who was first pointed out by the joint captain, had the best performance record during the training period, so naturally, there is no doubt that she can get the letter of appointment according to her first choice.

Kenny held up his appointment letter and peeked at hers, "What?! Mike, you've been appointed as the pilot of the AH-1W 'Super Cobra' attack helicopter?"

"Yeah, that's right. I like the feeling of flying an attack helicopter." Amanda said proudly.

"You are awesome! I can only fly the Navy's SH-60 'Sea Hawk' helicopter." Kenny replied with regret.

Amanda shook her head, "No, although the SH-60 is an improved version of the US Army's 'Black Hawk' helicopter. But I think it is still the main anti-submarine force in the aircraft carrier fleet, isn't it?"

"Hmm, I hope so. Well, the celebration is about to begin." Kenny smiled and glanced at his mother.

A few minutes later, a very lively celebration started at the appointment site.After looking at Alena, Victoria walked towards Amanda excitedly, and said with a smile, "Congratulations!"

"Thank you! Uh, the squadron leader gave you half a day off today, didn't he?"

"Yeah, to celebrate your graduation and everyone else's."

Vincent walked over with his father, looked at his handsome younger sister, "Congratulations, Amanda!"

Amanda smiled and stepped forward to hug the two, "Thank you!"

Looking at his father Nelson's face, he said relaxedly, "Daddy, are you unhappy? Well, I guess it must be because of my personal choice, right?"

Nelson was noncommittal, but said softly, "As long as you're happy. Helicopter pilots? Uh, the Marines still use 'Daddy America' from the Vietnam War?"

The few people present and Alaina who came later laughed happily.Alena asked Amanda in confusion, "Well, what did your father mean by 'American Dad'?"

"Hehehe, he refers to the UH-1 Huey helicopter of the Marine Corps. Although its nickname is 'American Dad', we generally call it 'Iroquois'." Oman Da turned his face away and explained in a low voice.

Then he put his arms around Nelson's shoulders with a smile, "American Dad, of course I have to rest at home. Dad, the model I will drive in the Marine Corps in the future is the 'Super Cobra'!"

Alena and Victoria opened their eyes wide and exclaimed almost simultaneously, "Amanda, you're awesome!"

After Vincent carefully explained a few words to his father, Nelson finally showed a satisfied smile, "Well, my child should drive this kind of helicopter to Iraq and Afghanistan."
