Oh, to hear that debriefing.

Still worked that way when I was in air Force basic in 2006. But in this case she was due back pay anyway for the two months she was gone, I don't think it would be an advance.

I don't think the slop chest (Naval equivalent of Petty Cash; not sure what Army or Air Force would call it) would be where Sydney winds up going. If she needed funds in advance of her pay, she might go to Personnel to sell accumulated leave, if she had accumulated any. Or she might go to the nearest bank or credit union for a personal loan. The only time I can think of that military personnel get any pay in advance is when they report to boot camp and they are given a fixed amount of script to pay for uniform tailoring, haircuts, and incidental supplies. This would be taken out of their first paychecks, but we didn't get any paychecks until we were about to graduate. Of course, this was over three decades ago for me...

What kind of medieval witchdoctor uses STAPLES on a head wound??

Quick! Somebody get a camera! We're never going to see that look on Ultima's face again!

Tim

I rewrote that several times, and it's just kind of a sloppy sentence no matter how you put it. But... I guess with dialog, it's fine as long as the meaning comes across?

Dave Barrack

Sydney is bragging/showing off. She's earned it, though!

AlpineBob

Fun to see the rest of the team start coming to terms with just how over powered ol Sydney really has become!

Doug Northcote

Max said the opposite of what she meant in her first sentence.

Stephen Gilberg

just toss in your credit card

martin leske

Yup! Fixed now.

Dave Barrack

Hah, I forgot to add them, but they're included now.

Dave Barrack

Well, not sure about Somalian warlords, but this IS true for all branches of the American military and European militaries. The Canadians sit around drinking brews and discuss the mission in hockey terms (j/k).

Isn't 738 was the 23rds and this was supposed to be 739?

U.Kaya

Max's "What?"-face .... priceless : )

Did she hide her glowy orbs elsewhere?

Madeleine

I much prefer the 4th panel :)

Klaus

First panel is one of my favorite images of Maxima so far.

Welcome back Sidney.

A couple of months ago, I hit my head hard enough to require a dozen staples. I made up some new words then, too. Fortunately, nobody else was in the room, or they would have died on the spot.

Mmmmyeah. in ANY military operation, particularly one that's gone spectacularly sideways, the debriefing comes FIRST. Brass wants to know exactly, precisely, what happened so they can plan for the fallout.

akrasia

i think they need a bigger jar

Chops

She needs a larger swear jar :D

Madeleine

Love expressions on both of them
