Arriving at the place

Getting a command of a platoon was a bit of an insult for a captain, but Sarah simply considered the entire expedition as a paid holiday and aimed to spend it accordingly. She was going away from all the colonels and generals, with three dozens of soldiers, one sergeant (all men) and three trunks of non-military stuff that she would not dare take anywhere else while on duty.

When the platoon arrived at their destination it was an early evening and the weather was balmy; as the trucks that brought them here drove away with the previous garrison it really felt like a beginning of a holiday.

The rest of the first day passed in a blink of an eye, getting settled took some time, especially since the Captain was not hastening anyone. Although the soldiers were a bit curious about the quantity of their commander’s luggage which they carried to her quarter.
