>> This is skeptic7, I love the story of Flip growing up to be Agent Agent. <<
I'm glad to hear that!

I wanted something that would fit with his character, and why people typically join the Marines.

It was that, and his situational awareness. Ordinary high school students do not have such collected grace nor alertness. Ordinary people don't see it, either, but anyone with training or experience can pick out others in a crowd. I've been clocked that way, and had people be surprised because it doesn't fit with the way I look and I didn't get it from the more common sources.
