- As a woman, Ringer doesn't exactly fit in with her squad back in the barracks. It's a little awkward.
- Ringer asks Zombie why he's the squad leader. Instead of telling her the story about Nugget, he's says, why not?
- He's a bad shot, Ringer points out. True facts.
- Ringer tells him she hopes to make sergeant after graduation. Zombie doesn't care. He doesn't have a lot of ambition in that area.
- Oh, and another thing: Ringer won't tolerate any touching or sexist remarks. She knocks Flintstone over when he offers to play strip poker. Teacup is impressed.
