''"I'm Chyler Silva and I'm a freshmen cadet at Corbulo Academy of Military Science. I sorta always knew that I wanted to be military. It was a pretty natural choice given my parents, I suppose. I mean, if you know that you want to be on the battle field then everything you do here is not just school, it's training to stay alive and to be able to do the job that you need to do to protect the lives of other people. Corbulo is one of the best places to do it. Uh, it's tough, I mean it's tough to get in but if you know that you want to be a soldier then it's a pretty great place to be. I grew up around a lot of Innie violence, um, and not just violence towards military targets. Civilians where I lived really had to learn how to protect themselves. We had a bomb shelter where we lived. There was one for the people in our neighborhood and, um, he wanted us to be able to get there quickly in the event of a real bombing. So, my dad would race me and my brother [[Grayson]] and if you beat him then you got to stay up half an hour past bedtime. Y'know, it was....it was just part of life on [[Cygnus]]. My cousin's school was bombed when I was around ten and hundreds of children were killed. It's not the kind of war that we should be fighting but it's the kind of war that they're forcing us to fight now. Physically, it's tough. It's demanding, I mean basic training is pretty grueling and, y'know, a fair number of people leave during that initial phase. But it should be tough! I mean, as soon as I lose a bruise, another one appears. And that's the way it should be. They're like little purple merit badges that mean you're doing a good job. Because it shouldn't be easy to be a soldier. It should be difficult and that's what makes it such a great job. That's what makes me proud to be training to do this. It's because it is hard. And that means that the end result is gonna be something to be proud of."''

''"My name is April Orenski. I'm a senior cadet, I'm the squad leader for [[Hastati Squad]]. I've seen what can happen when, y'know, there's no discipline when people are allowed to just, y'know, let their ideas run rampant. When things go badly, I've seen it happen over and over again. Being a squad leader means that I have a team of cadets. It means that I am in charge of making sure that they follow the rules, know the rules, they know how to be good soldiers. It's up to me to make sure that, y'know, when they do things that are out of order, when they are misinformed or they go and ignore commands that they know what they've done is incorrect. They have to learn it the right way. The [[UNSC]] way. The Corbulo way. And it's my job to make sure that my squad performs at its optimum level, the squad doesn't always perform at optimum level. Uh, no, in fact there are few cadets in my squad that think that their way is more important than what we've been doing for years and years at Corbulo. They think that it's okay to run off and ignore orders and....and it's not okay. I'm responsible for them and if they mess up then it looks badly on me. And it's important to me that I, y'know, I do my job here and I do it well so that in the real world, y'know, when we're out there in the battlefield and we're fighting for the UNSC, it's important that they know that I am their leader and that they are to follow my commands."''

''"My name is Junjie Chen. I'm a freshmen cadet. The physical training that we do is something that I've been prepared for but it's more of the, uh, the emotional stress that gets to me, I guess."''
