Re: 2200
“Are you… sure?” Jack asked, raising his eyebrows, ducking his head a little as he smiled. “I don’t want to get written up or anything, not when I’ve only been in here a few weeks.” Jack laughed again, nodding and tipping his bottle at Sam. “You’ve got it,” he said, taking another sip. “Loose lips sink ships and all that,” Jack grinned.
“Yeah, I’m 556th,” he confirmed, smiling at Sam again, a little relieved his Captain seemed pretty normal. Jack was still a little put-off by the whole… yelling, angry military man thing, though he was used to strict teachers and all that. Sam seemed nice enough, so hopefully that would carry through during drills. “If you say so, Sir,” Jack laughed a little. “I’m putting my trust in you, here,” he joked.
After shaking the Captain’s hand, Jack turned back to look over the party, still a little overwhelmed by it all. He liked it, he did, it was just quite a bit to take in. “What?” he asked rather stupidly, blinking as he looked back at him. “Oh, no. Well, not really. I enlisted,” he said, nodding. “Hadn’t been drafted yet, and I wanted to come. So I went and signed up myself.”
