Note from the Editor:
What comes after proving yourself as a skate master? If the other skate masters like you, you eventually get told about the hush-hush ‘the lance-corporal underground’. This is somewhat of a joke and lingering or passing suspicion of the higher-ranking Marines, but it is a very real network of unknown buddies all dealing with the same bullshit and helping each other out whenever and however they can.
Lance Corporal is the Marine Corps enlisted rank at the E-3 pay-grade. It is preceded by PFC; Private First Class, and that by Private. I guess the Lance Corporal Underground gets its name from the fact that it usually takes a couple years and promotions in the service before you can be of any use to others; it takes some time to adjust mentally and physically to all the bullshit they keep throwing at us, and before we start noticing the loopholes and blind-spots in their system. Mostly Lance Corporals, and those who were once Lance Corporals (now demoted, almost always for more bullshit/favoritism reasons), are the ones who contribute to the ‘underground’ that keeps goods and services reaching the otherwise neglected and compartmentalized lower-level troops.
I’d made (‘picked up’; been promoted to) Lance Corporal earlier than almost everyone else, which made most Marines, idiotic immature children that they are, jealous and angry at me, but that only made me see through them and their system that much more. It spurred me onward to discover and master not only ‘skating’, but their ‘underground’. The more they judged me, no matter how well I performed my Marine duties, acing their tests, and standing tall in formation and on patrols, the more it turned my attention from staying a great Marine… to becoming an even greater private agent.
I recalled the Underground Railroad they told us about in history classes. I was amidst a modern one, and was truly an owned slave, seen and classified as property, and legally able to be killed or sent on suicide missions. I would one day have another underground of my own…
