He
dropped
his
feet
to
the
desk
.
"
Put
up
your
right
hand
.
"
He
swore
me
,
reached
unto
the
drawer
of
the
table
and
pulled
out
papers
.
He
had
my
papers
already
made
out
,
waiting
for
me
,
ready
to
sign
.
And
I
had
n't
even
told
Ace
.
How
about
that
?
It
is
by
no
means
enough
that
an
officer
should
be
capable
...
.
He
should
be
as
well
a
gentleman
of
liberal
education
,
refined
manners
,
punctilious
courtesy
,
and
the
nicest
sense
of
personal
honor
...
.
No
meritorious
act
of
a
subordinate
should
escape
his
attention
,
even
if
the
reward
be
only
one
word
of
approval
.
Conversely
,
he
should
not
be
blind
to
a
single
fault
in
any
subordinate
.
True
as
may
be
the
political
principles
for
which
we
are
now
contending
...
the
ships
themselves
must
be
ruled
under
a
system
of
absolute
despotism
.
I
trust
that
I
have
now
made
clear
to
you
the
tremendous
responsibilities
...
.
We
must
do
the
best
we
can
with
what
we
have
.

The
Rodger
Young
was
again
returning
to
Base
for
replacements
,
both
capsules
and
men
.
Al
Jenkins
had
bought
his
farm
,
covering
a
pickup
and
that
one
had
cost
us
the
Padre
,
too
.
And
besides
that
,
I
had
to
be
replaced
.
I
was
wearing
brand-new
sergeant
's
chevrons
(
vice
Migliaccio
)
but
I
had
a
hunch
that
Ace
would
be
wearing
them
as
soon
as
I
was
out
of
the
ship
--
they
were
mostly
honorary
,
I
knew
;
the
promotion
was
Jelly
's
way
of
giving
me
a
good
send-off
as
I
was
detached
for
O.
C.
S.
But
it
did
n't
keep
me
from
being
proud
of
them
.
At
the
Fleet
landing
field
I
went
through
the
exit
gate
with
my
nose
in
the
air
and
strode
up
to
the
quarantine
desk
to
have
my
orders
stamped
.
As
this
was
being
done
I
heard
a
polite
,
respectful
voice
behind
me
:
"
Excuse
me
,
Sergeant
,
but
that
boat
that
just
came
down
--
is
it
from
the
Rodger
--
"
