Too Many Guts, Not Enough Glory, chapter 3
"You have it right." Mike said. Billie Joe took another drag and threw his cigarette off the boat. He coughed and then followed Mike. Mike walked up to the two other guys now talking. "This is Frank. His nickname is Tré and this is Jason." Mike said pointing to the guys. "Who's the scrawny guy?" Tré asked hurtfully.
"Billie Joe Armstrong. You must be Tré." Billie Joe said.
"Oh yeah. I know you. You were the one that was kissing the girl from the bar on the pavement. She has a nice ass." Tré said chewing on his cigarette.
"What did you say?" Billie Joe said growing pissed off by Tré's rudeness.
"I said the chick you were groping had a nice ass. And a great pair of boobs too. Why would she let you squeeze those. When I could." Tré said. Billie Joe went for Tré. He hit Tré in the face and then Mike pulled him back.
"Oh right. Tré that was way out of line but Billie Joe... ."
"I'm gonna kill you. You fucking asshole." Billie Joe yelled trying to break away from Mike and kill Tré.
"Come here!" Mike said dragging Billie Joe off to the lower deck off the boat. He dragged Billie Joe who was screaming. "Let go of me Mike." Mike put him down and slapped him round the face.
"Now you better start acting like a fucking solider. We are all on the same side here. So don't you ever do that again. You hear me Armstrong?" Mike shouted at Billie Joe. Billie Joe shrugged.
"DO YOU HEAR ME ARMSTRONG?" Mike shouted in Billie Joe's face. "Yes sir." Billie Joe yelled.
"Good. Now go and fucking act like a solider." Mike said. Billie Joe stood up and walked out. He walked up to the top deck and went to get his uniform. He avoided Tré and Jason on his way to the top deck. He got there and handed in his slip. "Name."
"Billie Joe Armstrong." Billie Joe said.
"Right Armstrong. You'll be on the front line with Wright, Dirnt and White. Here's your uniform, gun, and papers." The guy behind the table said. Billie Joe wondered who Wright and White were but he would find out. Billie Joe nodded and took his stuff down to his bunk. He put it on the bunk and took off his clothes. He pulled on the black vest, the dog tags with his name and number on them. B573GDH573B. He pulled on the green pants and the black boots. He felt the stubble on his face and rubbed it. He pushed his hair out of his face and made his way to the top deck. "What the fuck are you doing?" Tré said to Billie Joe. Billie Joe sighed but Tré pulled him aside. "What do you wanna say that you wanna bang my girlfriend as well?" Billie Joe said. Tré smiled evilly. "Not that I wouldn't want to but no. I was just gonna tell you that the commander will shot you in the head if a rooky wears a necklace." Billie Joe looked down at his necklace and rubbed it. It was the one that Adrienne had given to him and he had never taken it off.
"Commander says it's a sign of weakness and homosexual action." Tré said. Billie Joe pulled the necklace off. He kissed it and said "I'm sorry Adie." and put it in his pocket.
"You know what Armstrong. I think that you and me will be buddies by the end of this. Maybe we could swap girlfriends for the night if we see this though." Tré said. Billie Joe smiled weakly. But inside he wanted to punch Tré until there was nothing left.
"Don't worry Armstrong if you die. I'll keep your little sweet ass bitch company." Tré said as he started to circle Billie Joe. Tré was taller then Billie Joe. He had muscles all up his arm. Billie Joe wanted to punch him so hard. He felt Tré breath on the back of his neck. "I think that maybe I'll just shoot you so I can bang that little cutie of yours. She has an awesome body. She's a bit fat though maybe I could fuck a few pounds off her cos by the looks of your build she's the one breaking your back." Tré said still circling Billie Joe. Billie Joe was not going to break though. He knew Tré was doing this just to start a fight. Billie Joe wanted to show he was stronger. Jason and a few others were watching as Tré circled Billie Joe.
"You know. Armstrong I bet when your little whore is a bad girl I bet you have some real randy night together. And I bet she had a few without you too." Tré could see that Billie Joe was getting wound up by this. Tré smiled and said. "What does Adrienne do to you? Fast and hard or soft and lovingly. Cos with someone I know she makes them ram it so hard that it's not possible. You know who that someone is Billie Joe?" Billie Joe looked like he was going to kill Tré. His eyes looked so red with angry. His knuckles were white as bones. Tré continued. He went right up to Billie Joe's ear and whispered "Me."
"Billie Joe Armstrong. You must be Tré." Billie Joe said.
"Oh yeah. I know you. You were the one that was kissing the girl from the bar on the pavement. She has a nice ass." Tré said chewing on his cigarette.
