Fleet
Sergeant
I
would
have
been
under
Lieutenant
Silva
,
but
he
left
for
hospital
the
day
I
reported
,
ill
with
some
sort
of
twitching
awfuls
.
But
this
did
not
necessarily
mean
that
I
would
get
his
platoon
.
A
temporary
third
lieutenant
is
not
considered
an
asset
;
Captain
Blackstone
could
place
me
under
Lieutenant
Bayonne
and
put
a
sergeant
in
charge
of
his
own
first
platoon
,
or
even
"
put
on
a
third
hat
"
and
take
the
platoon
himself
.
In
fact
,
he
did
both
and
nevertheless
assigned
me
as
platoon
leader
of
the
first
platoon
of
the
Blackguards
.
He
did
this
by
borrowing
the
Wolverine
's
best
buck
sergeant
to
act
as
his
battalion
staffer
,
then
he
placed
his
fleet
sergeant
as
platoon
sergeant
of
his
first
platoon
--
a
job
two
grades
below
his
chevrons
.
Then
Captain
Blackstone
spelled
it
out
for
me
in
a
head-shrinking
lecture
:
I
would
appear
on
the
T.
O.
as
platoon
leader
,
but
Blackie
himself
and
the
fleet
sergeant
would
run
the
platoon
.
As
long
as
I
behaved
myself
,
I
could
go
through
the
motions
.
I
would
even
be
allowed
to
drop
as
platoon
leader
--
but
one
word
from
my
platoon
sergeant
to
my
company
commander
and
the
jaws
of
the
nutcracker
would
close
.
It
suited
me
.
It
was
my
platoon
as
long
as
I
could
swing
it
--
and
if
I
could
n't
,
the
sooner
I
was
shoved
aside
the
better
for
everybody
.
Besides
,
it
was
a
lot
less
nerve-racking
to
get
a
platoon
that
way
than
by
sudden
catastrophe
in
battle
.
I
took
my
job
very
seriously
,
for
it
was
my
platoon
--
the
T.
O.
said
so
.
But
I
had
not
yet
learned
to
delegate
authority
and
,
for
about
a
week
,
I
was
around
troopers
'
country
much
more
than
is
good
for
a
team
.
Blackie
called
me
into
his
stateroom
.
"
Son
,
what
in
Ned
do
you
think
you
are
doing
?
"
I
answered
stiffly
that
I
was
trying
to
get
my
platoon
ready
for
action
.
"
So
?
Well
,
that
's
not
what
you
are
accomplishing
.
You
are
stirring
them
like
a
nest
of
wild
bees
.
Why
the
deuce
do
you
think
I
turned
over
to
you
the
best
sergeant
in
the
Fleet
?
If
you
will
go
to
your
stateroom
,
hang
yourself
on
a
hook
,
and
stay
there
!
...
until
'
Prepare
for
Action
'
is
sounded
,
he
'll
hand
that
platoon
over
to
you
tuned
like
a
violin
.
"
"
As
the
Captain
pleases
,
sir
,
"
I
agreed
glumly
.
