It is gay erotic fiction explicitly depicting sexual acts between men, including male relatives. If that offends or disturbs you, read no further. Thanks to all the great work that the Nifty Archive does and the writers it publishes. Please consider supporting them with a donation. This is the revised and retconned version of Naval Tradition, told in chronological order. While the overall story is the same, there is lot of new content here (and some of the old parts didn't make the cut in this version). This revision has been a collaboration with fellow writer Corporal Cody. My thanks to him for his considerable contributions to and inspiration for this version. Feel free to drop a line if you enjoy it: billdrake@hotmail.com. I hope to have a (free) ebook version at the end of this, so you can let me know if you want to be on the mailing list for that. PART FIVE: LOOKING FOR MR. RIGHT Chapter Forty Correspondence to Command Sergeant Major Carter, US Army From: sean.carter@us.army.mil Sent: December 26, 2005 To: jam5z@virginia.edu Subject: Re: Merry Christmas! Dear Jim, Merry Christmas to you, too! Belatedly - or is it still Christmas back in the States? The Army does what it can to make the holiday good for us out here. A big meal, some entertainment and just some down time. It's always great to see an email from you when I have the chance to log on. Don't feel like you have to hold back writing about home. This is far from my first deployment and I know that homesickness is part of it all. You learn to deal with it. It's actually awesome to hear about normal life back home, it helps keep things in focus here. Short version: I want to hear all about what you're up to. What's a typical Jim McGrath day? I remember you saying your father and brother are Navy. What do your other brothers do? All right, I'll have to keep this brief. Major Kowalski's breathing down my neck waiting for his turn at this dusty computer. It'll probably be a couple of weeks until I can log back on again. But I'll be thinking of home. Sean Carter CSM, U.S. Army 82nd Infantry Division ***** From: jam5z@virginia.edu Sent: January 3, 2006 To: sean.carter@us.army.mil Subject: Happy New Year! Dear Command Sergeant Major Carter, Happy 2006! I know you said you'd be away from the computer, so I've been slow in replying, but I wanted to write so you'd have an email waiting for you. School doesn't start up for a couple of weeks, but I'm already back on campus. I like being in Charlottesville before everyone gets back. And I have a week or so when I get to be lazy. Mostly renting DVDs, dumb comedy and action stuff. My typical days aren't that exciting I guess, but you asked. I have a place off campus, with a roommate, a buddy of mine and a fellow teammate on the University of Virginia baseball team. I'm studying business but I'm going to try to play ball professionally. I'm in the gym most days and when the weather permits, I fit in batting practice. Coach says I should put on 5 pounds this year before the draft, so I've been hitting the weights harder these days. On my down time I like to have beer and watch some baseball, but that won't start until April. My good buddy Charlie and his friend Scott invited me up to New York for New Year's. It was a blast! You would have hated it, though... too fucking cold! We didn't bother standing out at Times Square but found a bar to hang out in by midnight. I don't think I'm a city boy at heart but it was sure as hell fun to visit. And yeah, my Dad and older brother are Navy Officers - Captain and Ensign. My mother passed away when I was in middle school, so it's just been my dad and me and my 3 brothers. My family's pretty close, though my oldest brother John has always marched to a different drummer. He went through a rebellious phase in high school and ended up going to school up North. But he's settled down now and has a good job, and he's kind of boring even! He lives up in Chicago now, and has a new girlfriend Rachel, who we met at Christmas. Next is Paul, who's a police officer in the St. Louis area. He and his wife Megan are going to have their second baby and everyone's excited. My brother Matt's the Navy Ensign and has been logging in hours for his flight training. He was at the bar we met at, the shorter guy with buzzed brown hair. My dad is third generation Navy and though he never pushed anything on us, I know he loves that Matt is serving in the military. I'm the youngest in the family. What about you? Any siblings? You see your parents much? Well, peace be with you, sir. I am not the most religious guy, I suppose, but I'm praying for your safety and rooting for your success and for those in your unit. Jim ***** From: sean.carter@us.army.mil Sent: January 15, 2006 To: jam5z@virginia.edu Subject: Down time Jim, It's been a shitty week. I won't bore you with Army details, but it was pretty bad. So seeing your email in my inbox was just the thing I needed. Me and the command team did catch a bit of the New Year's show rerun from Times Square. If you'd told me you were there, I would've seen if I could catch a glimpse of you! I hate the cold all right, but I would have sucked it up for a chance to have some fun in NYC with you, buddy. I gotta warn you, I can probably drink you and your friends under a table and still run 5 miles in under 30 minutes! Thanks for sharing your daily routine with me. The Army has its routines, but your day sounds like some well deserved R&R right about now. At this moment, to be honest, watching dumb comedies and action films also sounds like a friggin blast. I have to say that I love my gym time, even out here. Good to hear that you take fitness just as seriously. I'll just say it shows. Sounds like you're a dedicated athlete. And, Draft? Shit, you're gonna be famous aren't ya, Jim? You're not a city guy, huh? I like them, though I like to get out in nature, too. I don't see my folks much or even get back to my hometown much. Guess when I joined the Army I left and didn't look back. Things should be quiet for the time being here. Write soon, if you can. your friend, Sean ***** From: jam5z@virginia.edu Sent: January 16, 2006 To: sean.carter@us.army.mil Subject: Re: Down time Command Sergeant Major Carter, Would have loved to have you at New Year's. You sure made my Army-Navy weekend a great one. Hope you don't mind my saying that? I don't want to take that bet about who can drink who under the table. I turned 21 last year and while I like to party as much as the next guy, I can still be a lightweight, at least compared to my buddies. They all say I'm too serious, but between baseball and school I gotta stay focused, you know? I don't know about famous, but yeah, I'm hoping to go pro. Though pro means paying dues in the minors for chicken feed. It's been a lifelong dream of mine to play ball. My uncle was a professional player with the Twins and the A's in the late 80s and early 90s, and I always wanted to follow in his footsteps. I think the idea that it might actually happen has made me want it more. Are you into sports? I grew up in Norfolk, which I guess is a city but doesn't feel like one. I like to have neighbors I know and a yard and fresh air. I love nature, too, though I think I'd miss being around people. You an active guy? Hike? Swim? I'll let you know if I watch any good-bad movies. Start a "Jim Recommends" column, ha. Quiet is good, though I hope you don't get bored. your friend, Jim ***** From: sean.carter@us.army.mil Sent: January 16, 2006 To: jam5z@virginia.edu Subject: Re: Re: Down time Jim, Your emails keep me from being bored. You got a dry sense of humor, I love it. We Army guys can have some hard drinking ways. Comes with the territory, particularly when we get a chance to get some down time in a place with alcohol available. Glad to hear you have a head on your shoulders. It's good to have fun, particularly in college, but the other stuff is important, too. Seems like you have your priorities straight. I'm impressed with your baseball dedication. I have every bit of confidence in you. I'll make a confession. I don't really know much about baseball. But I'll watch about any sport. My one true love in life, though, is the Georgia Bulldogs. I'm with you that I don't want to live in the middle of nowhere, but I love the outdoors and love outdoor sports. I hike and camp and do mountain climbing, too. I have an Army buddy out in Seattle and I love it there. Mountains so close and a real outdoors culture. I can see moving there one day. I like swimming but that's just recreation for me... you know, time up at the lake or the beach. I'll await your movie recommendations. Give me something to binge when I get back to the U.S. of A. your friend, Sean p.s. Don't worry if it's a while before I answer these emails. ***** From: jam5z@virginia.edu Sent: January 17, 2006 To: sean.carter@us.army.mil Subject: Re: Re: Re: Down time Command Sergeant Major Carter, Don't worry. I'm always glad to see an email from you, sir, but I never expect one. I know you have more important things occupying your days. School starts back tomorrow. It's a little wild that it's my last semester, and I guess I'm not entirely sure what's in store after. For now I need to keep the senioritis from sinking in too much. I planned my last semester to be easier but I know studying will get harder once baseball season starts up so I'm trying to get on top of my work from the start. Still, this weekend I went to a couple of parties with my roommate Kyle. Typically college life, I suppose. Maybe you Army guys can out drink us college kids, but I've met some guys who could give you a run for the money. I have a confession, too, sir. If the Cavs were in the SEC, I'd be rooting for them over your Bulldogs. So I guess it's good they're not. Trust me, as a baseball player, you get used to meeting lots of people who couldn't care less about the sport. My best friend Holt is in that camp. It's all good. I've never been to Seattle. I bet it's awesome. Going to New York made me realize I'd like to see more of the world. We had a couple of family vacations to Florida growing up, or to Hilton Head. But I've barely been outside the area. How long have you been in the Army? Take care, sir. your friend, Jim ***** From: sean.carter@us.army.mil Sent: February 10, 2006 To: jam5z@virginia.edu Subject: Go Dawgs!! Jim, Apologies for taking so long to reply. I had a feeling our offensive would keep me offline. I can't say much, only that it's been a tough few weeks. On the upside I've earned myself an R&R pass for a few days next week. A place with a decent connection. If you're up for it, I'd love to call you some time then, talk in person. If you'd rather not, I understand. I know what you mean about wanting to see more of the world. That's one of the things that made me enlist. I don't know that this corner of Iraq was what I had in mind, ha. But I've seen some amazing places, often on R&R. There's a Greek island that's my personal paradise. To answer your question, I enlisted at 18. The ink was barely dry on my high school diploma before I was shipped off to Fort Benning for bootcamp. I had to grow up quick, but I'm proud of the man it made me into. Here's to a great last semester for ya. I know what it's like to feel like life is coming at you fast. The Army can uproot your life pretty quickly, too. It's a cliche to say this, but you gotta hunt the good stuff. I feel there's a lot I don't know about you. Did you spend your entire childhood in Norfolk? You have a pet? Where do you ideally see yourself ending up? If I'm being nosy you can tell me to shove it. your friend, Sean ***** From: jam5z@virginia.edu Sent: February 11, 2006 To: sean.carter@us.army.mil Subject: Re: Go Dawgs!! Command Sergeant Major Carter, I'd love to talk, sir! My number is 434-964-1838. I'm in class all day Tuesdays and Thursdays and usually at practice or a game in the late afternoon otherwise. Just let me know ahead of time if you can. As for me. I was born in San Diego and lived there for a few years but I don't remember much of it. The rest of my formative years were in Virginia. We had a dog growing up, a beautiful collie, but she died when I was in high school. I'd love to have a dog again some day but now's not the time. Too much up in the air. I don't know where I'd want to live. I guess anywhere there's a baseball team that lets me play for them. But I haven't seen the world like you, sir. Your Greek island sounds mighty nice. your friend, Jim ***** phone call 2/16/2006 JIM: Hello? SEAN: Jim? JIM: Sean? Good to hear from you, sir! (pauses) Or should I say Command Sergeant Major Carter? SEAN: (Chuckle) I hear "Command Sergeant Major Carter" all day long. Sean is just fine. JIM: Well, great to hear from you, Sean. SEAN: Great to hear your voice, too, Jim. This isn't a bad time to call? JIM: No sir, just got back from a workout and I'm about to do some homework. What time is there? SEAN: I'm in Germany. And it's about twenty two hundred. We're six hours ahead. JIM: You enjoying your pass, then? SEAN: A private hotel room, a real shower... fuck yeah, I'm enjoying it. Great to be able to talk to you, too. I don't have a lot of time on the phone card, but I wanted to check in. JIM: You doing OK, sir? SEAN: Yeah, it's been tough times - lost two of my men. But I'm OK, Jim. JIM: Sorry to hear, sir. But I'm glad you're OK. I... um, think about you a lot. SEAN: I think about you too, College Boy. You keeping busy at school? JIM: Pretty much. Classes are OK, but baseball's working me pretty hard. SEAN: It whooping your ass? JIM: (Chuckle) Something like that, yeah. Our season started up last weekend. SEAN: Fuck, it's February. Isn't it snowing or anything there? JIM: Ha, no snow, though some days are kinda cold. College ball always starts early. SEAN: Tell me you're having fun, Jim. JIM: I'm having fun, sir. SEAN: Hopefully not too much fun. JIM: (Laughs) No, sir. SEAN: Fuck, you got a sexy laugh, Jim. You know what I'd do if you were here? JIM: (quieter) No, sir. What? SEAN: I'd unzip my trousers and pull out my hard cock... You're makin' it real hard, Jim. JIM: Yeah? SEAN: Yessir, you're making me hard as iron, remembering your blue eyes and your short blond hair, and the way you strut in like the hot college jock you are. JIM: (Sigh) I remember your cock, sir. SEAN: I fucking bet you do.... Unf.... God, I wish you were here, College Boy, watching me spread my legs. I'd ask you to get right down there and suck on my dick. JIM: Gladly, Sean. Fuck. SEAN: Yeah, 'fuck' is right. Nice hot jock cocksucker. Think you can do that, Jim? Be my hot jock cocksucker? JIM: I'd be your cocksucker, sir. We didn't do that last time. SEAN: No, we didn't. But I bet you're real good at it, College Boy. Really good at taking care of a man's cock with your hot sucking mouth. JIM: I don't like to brag, sir, but I'm real good at it. You'd see, Sean. SEAN: (exhales) Fuck! I got my hand on my bone, stroking up and down, and just imagining it was you, stud. Bitching out on my bone. JIM: Bobbing up and down. Working for my reward. SEAN: You're gonna get it, too. My nuts are feeling heavy, they're so backed up. JIM: Cum in me, sir. Come down my cocksucking throat. SEAN: (Heavy Breaths) Oh, fuck I'm gonna, Jim. I'm gonna come, gonna FUCK UMFF! JIM: (Gasps) UNGH! SEAN: Oh fuck, oh Christ, that was good. Fuckin' needed that, Jim. JIM: Me, too, sir. SEAN: I'd love you to see the amount of cum I just shot on my chest and stomach. JIM: I'd love for me to see it, too. SEAN: I'm definitely gonna sleep like a baby tonight. Thanks, College Boy. JIM: You're welcome. That was... hot. SEAN: It was. I gotta go soon. But... you're doing OK? JIM: Doing fine, sir. SEAN: You gonna keep writing me? JIM: Of course I will. SEAN: Good. All right. It was great talking with you Jim. Good night. JIM: Good night, sir.
