A low grunt Alex's lips as he moved his trunk of possessions to the hallway. He had been at the SGC for a little over a day now after coming back to Earth from Atlantis. Alex had been stationed there for quite some time now and wasn't too happy about being transferred to yet another galaxy, especially after growing close to a few women and even a couple of men while he was in the Pegasus Galaxy. This was the life of a military man though and the young man knew that it was something that he was still not used to. He wiped his brow and sighed softly before shaking his head. The few possessions that he did have fit into a large military issued trunk, an army dufflebag and of course, his baby, a McMillan TAC-50 Tactical Sniper Rifle, which whom he had customized just to his liking. As he placed the case that held his 'baby' in it on top of his trunk he checked to make sure everything else was good to go before motioning to the Airman that was waiting that his things were ready to be transferred to where they had to go. He was being transferred to another room for the night seeing how he was due to leave in the morning. It wasn't that big of a deal for him but it was a pain in the ass.

It didn't take long for Alex to make his way to the Mess Hall. He hadn't eaten in a few hours and he was starving. As he entered the room he grabbed a tray before moving to stand in line, his fingers impatiently tapping on his tray as he waited for the line to move, which it did, in the matter of a few moments. Once he was near the front he got himself a Philly Cheesesteak and some jello as well as an energy drink. It was all he really needed to be happy and he was more than ready to enjoy his food. He then moved to a table and plopped down at it, his hand quickly reaching out to grab his energy drink and he opened it then took a long drink from it. He really needed a few minutes just to relax but the moment he went to start eating his food he saw someone with a tray approaching his table. "Great." the young man mumbled under his breath but put on a smile anyway and nodded to the younger man. "Corporal, you look like a lost puppy." He spoke up, smirking slightly. "Man up."

William had for the longest time been trying to figure stuff out around the base. He'd just been made a member of the stargate program which still baffled him considering how he didn't really have any special skills other than soldiering, training, leading, and of course kicking ass. Other than that there wasn't a lot he was good at. Mind you the Canadian government and military would say differently like they always did when they sent a number of their operators to join the stargate program, 'only the best' are sent to these things, and William guessed that he was in that area; how he was in it baffled him. However he just shook his head mentally as he walked down one of the nearby halls leading to the chow room. He had been here for some time now, having just finished his stargate training program a few days ago, so now he was on "hurry up and wait" status.

It hadn't taken William long to reach the chow hall, and once inside he quickly made his way to the line, sneaking in quickly before someone else jumped in. His eyes were glued to the food, as he grabbed a tray. He was starved and for that reason he did not know, he just was. As he grabbed his food he lifted up the tray taking in the friendly and warm smells from the food on his tray before taking a bottle of water. William then turned around holding the tray in his hands and began to look for a table. So far almost all of them were taken other than on lone table with only one man sitting at it. William smiled as he finally found a place to sit and eat, and hopefully make a new friend. So he made his way towards the table. As he did he heard the man say the rank below his own in Canadian standards which made him grin as he took the sergeants offer. "Thanks and its Master Corporal haha. I passed that rank a few years ago haha." William replied as he took a seat across the sergeant. After he was seated he took one fork full of food and took a bite out of his food before wiping off his mouth, and look towards the sergeant sitting across from him.

After swallowing he smiled and extended right hand across the table. "Names William Siegfried Master Sergeant. Most just call me by my last name here though haha." William introduced himself to the man across from him.

"Thanks and its Master Corporal haha. I passed that rank a few years ago haha."

"I'm not quite up to speed on Canadian ranks." Alex spoke up, watching the other man carefully. He almost apologized for the mess-up but if there was one thing that Alex preached against it was apologizing. He had a whole list of rules that should never be broken and 'never apologize' was one of them.

Alex took a bite of one of his french fries before cleaning his hands off with his napkin. He had read up on this man's file before he had come over and while he seemed like a good enough soldier according to the records, Alex would wait to judge that until he saw the man in action on the battlefield.

"Names William Siegfried Master Sergeant. Most just call me by my last name here though haha."

Alex lifted his hand up to shake Will's firmly, his hazel eyes never once leaving Will's as the man spoke. Alex nodded his head before speaking up.

"Alexander Franklin. Master Sergeant. United States Army. Green Beret, Fifth Special Forces Group." As he spoke Alex pulled his hand back and cleared his throat. "You're new to the Stargate Program, aren't you?"
