Jack Noble, a lowly little recruit in boot camp, can't get anything right.  Once again, he puts his platoon in the position of paying for his mistakes.  They aren't happy about it.  So when retribution time comes, they are all for another recruit, Bear, to kick Jack's butt.  There is only one problem, Jack isn't planning to take it.  It doesn't help that their little "boxing" bout isn't the last hand to hand action they have that night.According to the description, this is a prequel to a novel. This story is just a little peek into how a partnership began.  The writing is tight.  Though it is only a peek I thoroughly enjoyed the view.  I could easily picture the events that occurred and the bond created during that night seems to be a strong one.  I'm looking forward to meeting these two again.I highly recommend this little gem.  Now I am off to get the big bauble.
