Tom McCaffrey answered Rhett Sandefur's question: Thank you for the Claire saga! Really enjoyed them all! Did you mix up the Argonauts and VFA-125 on purpose? Jason and crew is 147. Just curious. Signed: Former Argo Thanks Rhett - Sorry if I got those two mixed up. You are the only one to catch it, so do me a favor and keep it under your hat ;)

Quotes by Tom McCaffrey (?)

“Twenty minutes, Sergeant,” Buck repeated. “In twenty minutes, I’m going to be on the ground taking a shit. And depending on what you do next, it’s either going to be on an overpriced, government-issued latrine or it’s going to be down your throat. And I promise, that’s the last meal you’ll have on the government dime. Do we understand each other, Sergeant?”

“Animals get this. They blend naturally to form herds, schools, flocks, and prides, all of them families, to ensure the continuation and success of their species. And that is a good thing. Because family is the only legacy that truly matters.”

“Dan’s. Shakespeare was right, the eyes are the windows to your soul, and the old man had a permanent “vacancy” sign flashing behind his peepers.”
