The Sailor knew he was being recruited when the Sgt sat down next to him at the outdoor mess and handed him a cigar while lighting his own. He was so excited it took him a try or three to get the cigar lit but he knew not everyone was asked to join the Unit. After the first couple of puffs the conversation, which had been about what training he had taken and his skills, started to get a bit hazy. The pitch of the Sgt’s voice seemed to change and the Sailor found he couldn’t, didn’t want to, focus on anything but the voice. He even had to be reminded to finish his cigar but even then he was so slow at it the Sgt suggested they move their talk to his quarters so they’d have all night. The Sailor didn’t respond just stood and followed his Sgt’s lead. -- source link
