Yeah, I kind of got thrown in the deep end with what happened to me. 'Training' was escaping and surviving and then I kind of got handed a gun and was told "Go shoot the bad guys. We'll find you information about your friends." So the whole organised thing is a little different. My brother Grant was Army though so he was always talking about how much paperwork he had to do so I wasn't surprised.
It's just when you're filling out your fifty gazillionth form for the morning, being a one man army just seems a whole lot simpler. More dangerous but simpler.
