You
mentioned
sending
Brumby
to
Replacement
Depot
if
he
was
not
to
be
promoted
.
But
that
's
just
where
he
would
have
gone
if
we
had
promoted
him
three
weeks
ago
.
You
do
n't
know
how
hungry
that
non-com
desk
at
repple-depple
is
.
Paw
through
the
dispatch
file
and
you
'll
find
a
demand
that
we
supply
two
sergeants
for
cadre
.
With
a
platoon
sergeant
being
detached
for
O.
C.
S.
and
a
buck
sergeant
spot
vacant
,
I
was
under
complement
and
able
to
refuse
.
"
He
grinned
savagely
.
"
It
's
a
rough
war
,
son
,
and
your
own
people
will
steal
your
best
men
if
you
do
n't
watch
'
em
.
"
He
took
two
sheets
of
paper
out
of
a
drawer
.
"
There
--
"
One
was
a
letter
from
Silva
to
Cap'n
Blackie
,
recommending
Brumby
for
sergeant
;
it
was
dated
over
a
month
ago
.
The
other
was
Brumby
's
warrant
for
sergeant
dated
the
day
after
we
left
Sanctuary
.
"
That
suit
you
?
"
he
asked
.
"
Huh
?
Oh
,
yes
indeed
!
"
"
I
've
been
waiting
for
you
to
spot
the
weak
place
in
your
team
,
and
tell
me
what
had
to
be
done
.
I
'm
pleased
that
you
figured
it
out
--
but
only
middlin
'
pleased
because
an
experienced
officer
would
have
analyzed
it
at
once
from
the
T.
O.
and
the
service
records
.
Never
mind
,
that
's
how
you
gain
experience
.
Now
here
's
what
you
do
.
Write
me
a
letter
like
Silva
's
;
date
it
yesterday
.
Tell
your
platoon
sergeant
to
tell
Brumby
that
you
have
put
him
up
for
a
third
stripe
--
and
do
n't
mention
that
Silva
did
so
.
You
did
n't
know
that
when
you
made
the
recommendation
,
so
we
'll
keep
it
that
way
.
When
I
swear
Brumby
in
,
I
'll
let
him
know
that
both
his
officers
recommended
him
independently
--
which
will
make
him
feel
good
.
Okay
,
anything
more
?
"
"
Uh
...
not
in
organization
--
unless
Lieutenant
Silva
planned
to
promote
Naidi
,
vice
Brumby
.
In
which
case
we
could
promote
one
PFC
to
lance
...
and
that
would
allow
us
to
promote
four
privates
to
PFC
,
including
three
vacancies
now
existing
.
I
do
n't
know
whether
it
's
your
policy
to
keep
the
T.
O.
filled
up
tight
or
not
?
"
"
Might
as
well
,
"
Blackie
said
gently
,
"
as
you
and
I
know
that
some
of
those
lads
are
n't
going
to
have
many
days
in
which
to
enjoy
it
.
Just
remember
that
we
do
n't
make
a
man
a
PFC
until
after
he
has
been
in
combat
--
not
in
Blackie
's
Blackguards
we
do
n't
.
Figure
it
out
with
your
platoon
sergeant
and
let
me
know
.
No
hurry
...
any
time
before
bedtime
tonight
.
Now
...
anything
else
?
