It is almost funny. The poor kid would probably rather go out on a dozen missions like the one the other day than have to be chewed out by his BC.

Exactly! Having been there and done that, I can vouch for the preference of enemy fire over being called on the B.C.'s carpet (especially when when you're in the dark as to why but can imagine the many possible "infractions" that might have been discovered).

I even got chewed out by a Brigadier General during basic training. To this day I'm still gratefull that I was able to maintain control over my bowels while it was happening...

I know just what the kid was feeling. I would have happily fallen on a live grenade at that moment.
