2 - Character building - Week 1

Title: a few shrimps 


Forrest Gump is a military from Alabama, well know for his high skill at running and the fact he is not so bright.

Next to him is his best friend Benjamin "Bubba" Buford Blue, a ma that has autism but dreams to have a shrimp ship. Bubba has autism but is high functional and a great friend. Both of them are enlisted in the army fighting the Vietnam war.


The fearsome and tall Lieutenant Stiller arrives with the soldier Bubba and soldier Gump.

-GUMP AND BUFFORD, BOTH IDIOTS. I do not want to see you ever again but our staffed is low and the needs are high. We need to fight for this great country and the people in it. I asked your lieutenant for a special favor. See the Christmas is arriving, and I want my platoon to have a great dinner. Yours and my platoon will have a great seafood dinner for Christmas but this damn Vietnamese. I need good men in the kitchen, and I know that Soldier Bufford comes from a dynasty of shrimp staff.

The cadet Forrest replies.

-Bubba knows all recipes of shrimps, soup shrimp, fry shrimp

The lieutenant knew need to stop Forrest.

-Forrest, don’t start the list.

The Lieutenant Stiller was a little bit older than this two. His birthday was on December 25 and was going to be 31 years old. He wants a great dinner, as a poor kid in the streets of Dallas. He never got a nice and fancy dinner until was a full grown up and was already in the army. His birthday was terrible but at least try to give himself something better.

-I have acquire 200 pounds of shrimps for our boys and myself. I need you to prepare several dishes and serve them on the afternoon of December 25. We can not live this terrible place, but other soldiers will prepare a proper place for all of us to eat.  

The lieutenant was a strong, strict man but also a passionate and sentimental. He has loose man friends and peers. He just wanted a good birthday time.


Dedicated to all those soldiers that just want to have a good dinner at Home.
