sweet! joseph served from '08 to '14 before he took over his father's company, and is ~tsume's protege who also knows ~bang through the air force, so they have a tiny little quartet going. he served namely in the middle east as a fighter pilot, so if they were in the same area, they could've flown in the same squadron or something? if not, he's a fighter pilot all the same, so they have that to bond over.
