Plot
It is 1961 and 9 year old Jack Mannera arrives home from school in Altacelio, Maydover Island, where his mother, Melanie Mannera, is cooking supper for him and his siblings, David, Eddie and Teresa. Their father, Major Gabriel "Gabe" Mannera, is off at war against the fictional country, Agliyya. As Melanie finishes supper, she receives a letter saying that Gabe was killed in friendly fire. The family mourns their loss. It is now 1971. 19 year old Jack, having idolized his father, plans to join the military and be just like him. As he attends boot camp, he meets Anthony "Tony" Dawson, who he quickly gets along with, as well as potential love interest and nurse, Tracy Resendes. Later, he also meets alpha jock, Ron Aguas, and paranoid know-it-all, Larry Bento. On their third week at boot camp, he recognizes his friend from high school, Luke Bandeira. The two catch up, only to get in trouble by their drill sergeant, William Castro.
It is now the 10th and final week at boot camp. An alarm goes off and it is announced that Vitosium and, fictional country, Bostaeze, have declared war on each-other. Jack, Tony and Luke notice hundreds of soldiers heading off to war. The three discuss their love of the nation and their passion for protecting it. Jack opens up about how much the death of his father had an effect on him. He hopes to make him and the rest of his family proud. Later that day, he is on the phone with his mother as she talks about how proud she is of him and discusses his high grades in school. She admits being scared of him following his father's footsteps but understands that this is what he truly wants. After the phone call, General Clifton Castro comes up from behind him and says that he knew his father personally back before he became General. He sees a lot of potential in him, despite what his brother says. After he walks away, Jack is happy due to his words.
At the end of the week, a Graduation Ceremony occurs. Soon after, alone, Jack and Tracy talk about the war against Bostaeze. She admits how scared she is but she has wanted to do this for a long time as her mother was a nurse. She, unfortunately, was killed during an attack back in 1964 at the end of the war with Agliyya. Tracy wishes him well and walks away while Tony and Luke approach him and tease him about Tracy. Sergeant William Castro approaches the three and congratulates them before walking elsewhere. Minutes later, an attack on the boot camp happens with Sergeant Castro being the first casualty, followed by many of the families in the audience. Melanie, however, manages to hide away safely. General Castro leads the counter attack, although there were many casualties. Afterwards, the General brings the survivors to one of the buildings where he says that he has been given orders from the top that they need to head out now to Bostaeze. They can mourn later, he says. As the new soldiers board the plane, General Castro lets them all know where they will heading and what the plan is when they land.
