He rolls his eyes when he talks about where he might be stationed, and - not for the first time - I'm reminded of how different our responsibilities can be. "You wouldn't see much action there, would you?" I shake my head lightly and lean it against the wall, just right so the clips don't dig into my skull. "See, for the E.F., that's a high-class assignment. Something to shoot for."
