Dusk Fire, who was just a human only a few days ago, found himself homeless, broke, and ill-prepared upon his arrival to his impromptu trip to Equestria. Unable to find work, the human-now-stallion signs up for the Equestrian Royal Guard as a last ditch effort to provide for himself and hopefully have an easy ride throughout his contract.
Of course, like any good story, things don't go according to plan.

Interesting so far. And starting right before the Summer sun celebration? I love how the MC is just an average dude who has accepted his fate as a fresh pony.
It's an interesting... start, although I think it could have been shortened to a single long chapter or two where we could have gotten more plot and character interactions.
Still, I have some expectations. I'm suffering some dissonance about the world presented because of the cover haha: the fanart is by Equestria Prevails, an artist whose style I personally appreciate and who has a sort of lovely worldbuilding around his works; closer to the show canon of the first two seasons and the classic idea of an Equestria where “despite what it may seem, ponies are mostly kind and naive creatures”, so I was during the first few chapters doing some mental gymnastics about whether the focus on the world could be the same and the direction of the story.
Anxious to see your journey. I would suggest that future chapters have more background as to the path to be taken, some string to follow. So far it seems limited to a few easy interactions without much foresight beyond “living the military life” spread over three chapters whose space I feel could have been better utilized and with a stronger hook.
Dude's already been part of the shitshow, pony basic is going to be a breeze for him.
Also, even ponies gotta have an equivalent to the E4 mafia.

I’m just writing to get it out of my brain. I’m not very good at it so thank you for the information. The art is just a stand in I found online that I’ll change eventually.

100% they do haha
The beginning is quite fast and interesting.
Intersting and good story so far followed fav and liked
This I can enjoy. I like stories where the Mc ain't stuck in the everfree or ponyville and instantly meets the mane six. Plus I like the idea of fire mage for a character.
I've been wanting to read a fanfic like this for a long time and finally found it!
Thumbs up in advance!
ok i like that a good story with human pony in the guard
Nice story! Definitely going to keep up with it, keep up the great work.
Good start.
American army.
Nowadays war things are not appreciated.
Not bad.
A bit sad.
My guy I am....... LOVING this story, Keep it up!
I kinda wanna know a few more things about Dusk before he got turned into a pony life
Also did you tell us how old he is? cuz I wanna know.
Btw No glaze, but this is my favorite story right now. Keep up the great work dude.
(:
Just with the cover you caught my attention, I'll come back when there's more content. For now, it looks very promising.

castle crashers, ES MOMENTO DE REZAR
Me encanta que el OC no sepa nada de MLP y que no sea lo clásico de "celestia/twilight me acogieron"
I say: Who cares about magic when you can fly instead?
Though besides that, interresting even if a bit fast paced start. Would have preferred it to be a bit slower and maybe see his initiall reaction upon finding out what happened to him, but hey, it's your story and so you set the rules. Thought, this won't stop me from voicing my opinion in future chapters.
Nice! Awesome to see new recruits learning the motions!
Specially the Mustangs! OORAH!
(My character is within the special forces but by no means am I and want to make sure proper respect is paid to those that do serve.)
Interesting story far and it's good to see a HiE joining the guard without being a OP character from the start. It's nice to have a protagonist who already has military experience and joining in again in another nation. Having a diverts cast of characters around it, it sounds like they have plenty of room to grow as persons. If you are ever looking to comm a cover art you can look me up
. Best of luck on your story dude. 
Looks fun and interesting so far
Hope there is gonna be more soon
(But no rush, better to have a nice chapter when its done than a sloppy one as soon as possible)
the red coats are coming...
Just found this and read all the way. Good stuff so far! I was in navy boot camp (dipped out in the first week) so yeah, I'd have to say pony military would be paradise compared to that shit. And only 3 weeks?!?!??. Keep it up!
Also I like the general vibe of this, Fire is just trying to bullshit his way through, making stuff up as he coasts along (as we saw in the first chapter), can't wait to see how he gets around this when the five other royal guard recruits get curious. (Only 6 people in bootcamp at once? Definitely paradise!) I couldn't help but notice a couple grammatical errors in the chapters though, and to me it doesn't exactly make sense that Dusk, despite being isekaid into Equestria not even for a month, has learned every ounce of their vocabulary and says "ponies" rather than "people".
Slight gripe is that dialogue from different characters aren't separate, but that's pretty much it. The story looks sick!

I like this. Doing the fun and useful kind of human-turned-pony shenanigans instead of becoming an OP delinquent!
Interesting start. You've certainly peaked my interest.
Liked and tracked.
Rule of thumb: new paragraph for different character's speech, otherwise it is hard to follow who said what.
Sychopomp,
This story brought back some funny memories for me. I served in the United States Navy for 8 years and was honorably discharged as a Petty Officer First Class. The parts in the story where the drill sergeant made Noble and Dusk keep doing push-ups despite them knowing the facing movements brought me right back to Recruit Training Command where everyone suffered if one person screwed up. I also really love how the main character, Dusk Fire, despite having to lie about their origins, goes out of his way to defend the nervous Sky Jet from Noble's harsh judgement; I was a lot like Sky Jet myself - Timid, quiet, ran away from my problems, but I eventually grew into a stronger person thanks to the military, and having the opportunity to lead others allowed me to experience how wonderful it is to see your recruits reach their potential. Thanks for the nostalgia.
Very respectfully,
Jenonen
