you
are
in
a
multiple-ship
operation
,
with
a
full
regiment
in
the
drop
.
Officers
drop
first
,
of
course
.
There
are
advantages
to
this
and
disadvantages
,
but
we
do
it
for
reasons
of
morale
;
no
trooper
ever
hits
the
ground
on
a
hostile
planet
without
an
officer
.
Assume
the
Bugs
know
this
--
and
they
may
.
Suppose
they
work
up
some
trick
to
wipe
out
those
who
hit
the
ground
first
...
but
not
good
enough
to
wipe
out
the
whole
drop
.
Now
suppose
,
since
you
are
a
supernumerary
,
you
have
to
take
any
vacant
capsule
instead
of
being
fired
with
the
first
wave
.
Where
does
that
leave
you
?
"
"
Uh
,
I
'm
not
sure
,
sir
.
"
"
You
have
just
inherited
command
of
a
regiment
.
What
are
you
going
to
do
?
With
your
command
,
Mister
?
Talk
fast
--
the
Bugs
wo
n't
wait
!
"
"
Uh
...
"
I
caught
an
answer
right
out
of
the
book
and
parroted
it
.
"
I
'll
take
command
and
act
as
circumstances
permit
,
sir
,
according
to
the
tactical
situation
as
I
see
it
.
"
"
You
will
,
eh
?
"
The
Colonel
grunted
.
"
And
you
'll
buy
a
farm
too
that
's
all
anybody
can
do
with
a
foul-up
like
that
.
But
I
hope
you
'll
go
down
swinging
--
and
shouting
orders
to
somebody
,
whether
they
make
sense
or
not
.
We
do
n't
expect
kittens
to
fight
wildcats
and
win
--
we
merely
expect
them
to
try
.
All
right
,
stand
up
.
Put
up
your
right
hands
.
"
He
struggled
to
his
feet
.
Thirty
seconds
later
we
were
officers
--
"
temporary
,
probationary
,
and
supernumerary
.
"
I
thought
he
would
give
us
our
shoulder
pips
and
let
us
go
.
We
are
n't
supposed
to
buy
them
--
they
're
a
loan
,
like
the
temporary
commission
they
represent
.
Instead
he
lounged
back
and
looked
almost
human
.
"
See
here
,
lads
--
I
gave
you
a
talk
on
how
rough
it
's
going
to
be
.
I
want
you
to
worry
about
it
,
doing
it
in
advance
,
planning
what
steps
you
might
take
against
any
combination
of
bad
news
that
can
come
your
way
,
keenly
aware
that
your
life
belongs
to
your
men
and
is
not
yours
to
throw
away
in
a
suicidal
reach
for
glory
...
and
that
your
life
is
n't
yours
to
save
,
either
,
if
the
situation
requires
that
you
expend
it
.
I
want
you
to
worry
yourself
sick
before
a
drop
,
so
that
you
can
be
unruffled
when
the
trouble
starts
.
"
Impossible
,
of
course
.
Except
for
one
thing
.
