This next section closes out the first part of the Salon element of the story. The following pieces involve a tactical bivouac or field exercise / camp. Cynthia's relationship with Barbara and for that matter the rest of her Party and Circle grows but well the field is not the greatest place for intimacy, that will come later.
Miss Francine: The trip over to the Convent building did not take that long, however in my mind it felt like three hundred years had passed. Along the way Barbara congratulated me on the promotion and asked what it meant? I replied, that I did not know and asked Sarjenette Y’Veins.
“Well Trainee Sarjenette you have a title and will be addressed by all but intimates as Trainee Sarjenette, you will defer to higher ranks as usual but some of the upper class losers will be your junior. Trainee Foster does not have to address you by your title unless a superior is present, and anyone else who is your intimate will not.”
“Um Sarjenette how will I know who is considered my intimate besides Barbie er Trainee Foster.”
She looked at us and smiled, “You will know Trainee Sarjenette, oh when you report use your full title, not the abbreviated form I have.”
“Yes Sarjenette is their anything else?”
“No, now go to Mademoiselle Lewtenette Zepeda and make our Sorority proud.” She then spun around and left the two of us standing outside the darkened Convent building.
As we walked in a senior trainee was at the desk. She looked up and said, “What do you want?”
“Trainee Junior Sarjenette Cynthia Parker and Trainee Lower Level Barbara Foster are here reporting as ordered by the summons by Mademoiselle Lewtenette Zepeda.” I said throwing out my right hand in a salute, Barbie did the same.
“Ah yes, one moment” She stood up and walked to an intercom, I noticed on her sleeve she had two bars instead of stripes. “Uh ma’am this is Trainee Lewtenette Duncan, I have a Trainee Junior Sarjenette Parker and her twin here…Yes…Thank you ma’am. O.K you two third door on the right, knock two times then wait to be summoned. Got that?”
“Er yes ma’am uh…”
“Trainee I am not a ma’am I am a Trainee Lewtenette now got that?”
“Yes Trainee Lewtenette….”
“Very good now get!”
As we walked down I wondered where her twin was until I saw a leg sticking out from under the desk. The door to Miss Francine’s office opened up before we could knock.
She was inside with two other trainees. The first had one bar and the other had four stripes. “Ah Trainee Sarjenette Parker, come in, this is my administrative recorder, Trainee Kaydette Hellene Andrews, she and her twin, Trainee Sarjenette Superior Gloria Duvall will be your new immediate supervisor. You and your twin will assist them.”
“Trainee Junior Sarjenette we are presently working on the roster for the 2nd Convent. The personnel files are over there,” pointed Trainee Kaydette Hellene. “That is all for now, return to your Sorority and report back here after your classes.”
“Yes Trainee Kaydette…”
“Oh no Cynthia call me Hellene,” she replied with a wink. “Remember tomorrow 1600 sharp, we will be working until 2200 so get plenty of sleep. Good Day.” She then went over to her twin, and saluted Miss Francine and went to her own Sorority House.
Barbara and I followed suit, leaving Miss Francine to lock up her office and retire to her quarters. We arrived back at the sorority house and checked in with the fireguard. We both took a quick shower and went straight to bed.
Interlude: So went the first half of the plebe year at Sally Ride. Barbara had her moment in the sun as assistant Circle leader during the 5th cycle. And I carried out my duties as administrative recorder. By the end of the 6th Cycle Miss Tolliver’s little angels were marching smartly and almost ready to begin the real training. We were told that the 7th cycle begins the first part of the tactical phase as we learn the fine arts of warfare. Most of this training is fairly standard throughout the Empire, however of particular note was the first time Angel Sorority bivouacked in the field. I knew from that moment on, that Ground Forces was not my first choice. However our party hostess for that exercise was definitely a mud puppy at heart.
