But she never let it show she would use the neat "mind over matter" trick she learned when she was young.<br/><br/>"If it worked during boot then it will work now" Dixie always told herself.<br/><br/>Dixie stood up the instant the drop ship landed and made her way to her place in line. she put her rifle in one hand and with the other she made sure all her equipment was in place. When the doors stated to open Dixie grinned to herself  with a clenched jaw and told herself<br/><br/>"It's go time Reedus".<br/><br/>She made sure her rifle was fully locked and loaded,and with squinted eyes starred at the silhouette of the lieutenant disappeared  into the light coming in from the landing bay.<br/><br/>Once out of the drop ship and her eyes adjusted Dixie quickly  stated scanning the area.
