Richard gave Marcus a quick nod and turned slightly to face him, while also keeping his position as watch. "After my basics I went to serve as a guard on H4, a moon outpost near Naidor. I mainly dealt with internal security there. I didn't see any action till about 8 months later when I transferred to Naidor. It was a lot of patrol missions, a few actual heated battles but during all of those I had abundant backup and resources. Before transferring to piloting I was sent on a couple missions behind enemy lines. It was a lot like this. We were always outnumbered and outgunned." He recounted to Marcus. While he may not have seen as much hardcore action as many he did have a pretty good idea of what he's doing. This wasn't completely unfamiliar territory, not like it was to Tess. He recognized Marcus as his superior, not only because of rank but because of experience.
