joshua made his way to his pod, making sure to pick up his DMR before departing. He equipped his pod with his weaponry and got into the pod, they were a bit smaller than the last time he had been in one of those. He did a quick pre drop test and turned on his com unit, [b]"This is spartan J-029 ready to drop on your orders command"[/b] He scraped a smile when he heard the lieutenant's words, He kept off the coms keeping to regulation, he double checked the co-ords and planned his route. he held on to his straps and readied himself for the rush of adrenalin that would be to come.
