Ba's recruiter called today. Someone broke their leg, so he's taking their slot. He leaves most likely on the 20th.

Someone broke Ba's recruiter's leg so the recruiter is leaving on the 20th and Ba is taking the recruiter's spot...

Beware Ba will be recruiting soon.

Holy shit Ba, I was unaware that you were still investigating this, let alone leaving in two weeks! Congrats!

Yay, Ba in space ! Although I'm pretty sure Starfleet isn't too hot on non-reglementary moustaches...

Ba is joining the United States Air Force. The person who broke their leg is some manner of recruit. Ba has no idea how this happened, honestly. Fortuitously, Ba gets their slot in Basic Training.

It's Airman. And yes, sir*.






*This is, of course, to be taken as a generic show of military jargon, and not an actual show of deference for Garner.

Congratulations Ba. Does that mean you'll be in basic training over Christmas?

Wow. Well done Airman Ba.

Basic will be hard but stick to it and you'll feel like a million bucks at your passing out parade.

Good luck man.

Oh well, if it's the US Air Force, then the 'tache is almost reglementary !



Stay safe, though, and don't go shooting down Roman... Or at least, don't leave any witnesses.

Oh... I guess air training will be more fun than recruiting... but only just.

Have fun and enjoy growing a truly stupendous mo.

Good luck in Basic, Ba. Don't get killed (by exhaustion or otherwise), and shave off that Garner-damned cry for help, will you?

The Garner who cares.
