James starred blankly at Jax. "You've just insulted me, remind me to send you on the first plane home" James said, and then broke into a smile. "I've been awake for the past two hours. Good morning to you, too" James said, spotting Nathanael on jump off the humvee, and he returned the salute with a crisp salute of his own. He always like professionalism, and it was easy for a soldier to forget it in this heat. "Good morning Sergeant, at ease" James said, ending his own salute. "Is she up and ready?" He asked, looking towards the humvee. "I want us to do a patrol, a few miles out of the base, loop around. Make sure there's no new surprises out there" James said, as he stepped towards the Humvee, checking the wheels, and outside first. "Sergeant, round me up a squad. We'll need the company for the patrol, can't go just us"
