- Here's the letter Jamie received before shipping off to Buckner—it's a form letter addressed to "New Boy."
- Patrick Karl is a fifth-year Buckner student, and he used to be happy with being "good enough," what with his 3.0 GPA and all.
- Buckner, however, made him want to excel. He goes to chapel services and ponders how they relate to his life.
- We're thinking he's really good at rifle drill.
- After outlining his medals and achievements, Captain Karl assures New Boy that he'll love Buckner, too.
- (Unless he's Jamie, in which case he'll run screaming.)
