GO SHIV! I swear, that guy's cape is 51% grey at this point. Still on the black side, cares little for stupid rules, but if somebody's been on the wrong side of fortune? He's _asking_ to help. 'Course, getting in a free plug for the club doesn't hurt... :)
I am *seriously* proud of that kid. He's gone from being an antisocial, f***-you-and-your-therapy type to actively coming out to play with folks (though the introvert shows a little in that he's got one person he uses for a base), earning leadership positions, and generally being an asset to the community rather than missing it by two letters. (And he's probably telling you what to do by now, in that careful tone that is exemplified by a senior noncom used to training - and thus gently giving orders to - senior officers.) (I'm remembering the scene in Patriot Games where the gunny on the Academy range is helping Jack remember how to shoot a .45....)
