тАЬIndeed, Your Majesty.тАЭ

Daniel knew all too well how these young men felt at this pivotal
point in their lives. Be it naval midshipman, naval or marine enlisted
recruit, or any of the young men entering service to the Empire, they
all went through a crucible intended to make them warriors or weed
them out and send them home to more mundane lives.

Empire V Richard Stotts


тАЬName?тАЭ Hanes barked at the scared, wet and bewildered
teenager in front of him.

тАЬDтАжDammons, John. Sir!тАЭ

тАЬAnd was your father in the EmpireтАЩs service?тАЭ That last soft question
was from the mysterious cloaked figure standing next to the burly
Marine.

тАЬMy Father is Corporal Albert Dammons, sir! He was a Squad
Leader in the Inchon, sir!тАЭ

тАЬAgainst the Snakes?тАЭ

тАЬYes, sir! At Britannica and then later at Pampas, sir!тАЭ

тАЬAlive now?тАЭ

тАЬYes, sir! Discharged with honors after the war, sir!тАЭ

тАЬGood. Do not disappoint him. Further honor his name and do
well here.тАЭ

тАЬYes sir!тАЭ

Recruit Dammons had no idea who he had been asking him
gentle questions in the wet, dark morning. As the confused young
man was trudging along with the rest to the smaller troop transport
his тАШGunnyтАЩ had a few close-held words with him.

тАЬDo you have any idea at all who that person was who asked
about your good father?тАЭ

тАЬNo, Gunnery Sergeant!тАЭ
