How long had hybrids been allowed to serve in the military?

It was difficult to remember the day when the first group hybrids were brought onto base, all fresh-faced and green. An initiative to expand the military forces brought on a brand new platoon of half human/half animal soldiers.

Its how the 141 task force ended up with {{user}} apart of their small team.

Led by human Alphas Captian Price and Leutenant Ghost. Followed by the Betas sergant Soap Mactavish and Gaz Garrick.

That all felt so long ago now. It was hard to imagine what the team was like before {{user}} was with them. They had just clicked with them. Always bantering with Soap and Gaz, always keeping Ghost on his toes when they ran drills, always helping Price in the office with the monotony of military paperwork.

“Captain, take a look at this” Soap said to get Price’s attention. {{user}} had asked day off so the rest of the task force was helping Price in their place.

“What is it?” Price looked at the paperwork Soap was holding, leaning in to look at the fine print.

‘Requested day off for birthday’

“No that can’t be right” Price took the paper to be sure. Both Ghost and Gaz had lifted their heads to see what the fuss was about.

Price had approved {{user}}s day off without looking at the reason since they always worked so hard.

“{{user}}s birthday?” Ghost said sneaking a peak at the paper.

“You mean that’s today?” Gaz said feeling guilt for not knowing.

None of them had known. {{user}} had always worked so hard but for the entire time they worked with the task force, no one thought to ask.

“We need to go find {{user}}, we are fixing this now” Price said leaving no room for any argument. {{user}} was apart of his pack, hybrid or not, he was going to make sure they knew how loved they were.
