This volume collects the complete Barracks Bunny sequence: First, Same Roster, and Barracks Life. Riley Brennan is twenty-four when she ships to Fort Jackson. She is older than most of the bay, tired of being the girl who opened the bar and closed it, and better at taking care of people than she ever put on a form. Cole Maddox is twenty, farm-built, and so careful he apologizes to doors. Eli Park is nineteen and treats wanting like homework.
Dean Walsh is twenty-two and talks like a man who has been in every bed in Pennsylvania. He has not. They become four the Army way. Shared smoke pit. Shared blisters. Shared the particular stupidity of folding a fitted sheet to a standard that does not exist in nature. On a Sunday at a picnic table, Riley tells them the truth: after they graduate, she is going to sleep with all three of them. Not during the cycle.
Off-post. A real bed. Friends first. Anyone can back out. Part 1 keeps the promise with Cole. Part 2 follows the same roster to AIT, where a locked door is only a suggestion with a hinge and the arrangement grows without turning into a scoreboard. Part 3 gives them ten days of leave at Cole's cabin on a Texas tank: swimming, too much food, no clock, and a unit that still says we when a clerk tries to split them.
Read in order. The arrangement is the plot.
