Take
a
look
at
me
--
this
is
what
you
may
buy
...
if
you
do
n't
buy
the
whole
farm
and
cause
your
folks
to
receive
a
'
deeply
regret
'
telegram
.
Which
is
more
likely
,
because
these
days
,
in
training
or
in
combat
,
there
are
n't
many
wounded
.
If
you
buy
it
at
all
,
they
likely
throw
in
a
coffin
--
I
'm
the
rare
exception
;
I
was
lucky
...
though
maybe
you
would
n't
call
it
luck
.
"
He
paused
,
then
added
,
"
So
why
do
n't
you
boys
go
home
,
go
to
college
,
and
then
go
be
chemists
or
insurance
brokers
or
whatever
?
A
term
of
service
is
n't
a
kiddie
camp
;
it
's
either
real
military
service
,
rough
and
dangerous
even
in
peacetime
...
or
a
most
unreasonable
facsimile
thereof
.
Not
a
vacation
.
Not
a
romantic
adventure
.
Well
?
"
Carl
said
,
"
I
'm
here
to
join
up
.
"
"
Me
,
too
.
"
"
You
realize
that
you
are
n't
allowed
to
pick
your
service
?
"
Carl
said
,
"
I
thought
we
could
state
our
preferences
?
"
"
Certainly
.
And
that
's
the
last
choice
you
'll
make
until
the
end
of
your
term
.
The
placement
officer
pays
attention
to
your
choice
,
too
.
First
thing
he
does
is
to
check
whether
there
's
any
demand
for
left-handed
glass
blowers
this
week
--
that
being
what
you
think
would
make
you
happy
.
Having
reluctantly
conceded
that
there
is
a
need
for
your
choice
--
probably
at
the
bottom
of
the
Pacific
--
he
then
tests
you
for
innate
ability
and
preparation
.
About
once
in
twenty
times
he
is
forced
to
admit
that
everything
matches
and
you
get
the
job
...
until
some
practical
joker
gives
you
dispatch
orders
to
do
something
very
different
.
But
the
other
nineteen
times
he
turns
you
down
and
decides
that
you
are
just
what
they
have
been
needing
to
field-test
survival
equipment
on
Titan
.
"
He
added
meditatively
,
"
It
's
chilly
on
Titan
.
And
it
's
amazing
how
often
experimental
equipment
fails
to
work
.
Have
to
have
real
field
tests
,
though
--
laboratories
just
never
get
all
the
answers
.
"
"
I
can
qualify
for
electronics
,
"
Carl
said
firmly
,
"
if
there
are
jobs
open
in
it
.
"
"
So
?
And
how
about
you
,
bub
?
"
