Aaron rubbed his head then flashed Khayman a thumbs up. No jokes here Sarge. I'm still just processing the fact that we are no longer grunts.
Viego nods, grinning he says to Marcus "Yep what you want to do?" Turning to the Sarge he says "I mean I always figure we are being watched at all times, why would now be different?"
None of you have ever been grunts, Khayman responded, nodding to Veigo in the affirmative, You have always been Elites, He turned his gaze to Marcus, When I first met you, you already possessed enough strength to curb-stomp any grunt in the Coalition Army. His gaze moved to Veigo, Enough, He thought of the right words, Psionic energy to to befuddle even Kora and her sisters. And finally resting his gaze on Aaron, Enough intelligence and determination to improve on technology created by the Emperor's finest technicians, never once have I seen you boys as grunts, now the Emperor and his fellow high command see it too.
Turning, he tossed them all a salute over his shoulder, Now go have some much needed R and R boys.
Viego grins honestly touched by the sarge's words he grins as the man salutes them. "I just heard the sarge is buying the drinks..." He says gesturing for the others to join him in following the man.
Marcus grinned, "I mean, That's what I heard. Sarge is buyin? Yep, definitely heard that."

Joseph Prosek gives Nolan a smirk and a nod as he returns his salute.
"Don't worry, you just have to manage three of the most powerful super human weapons this worlds has likely ever known. But they are well trained, so they should be easy enough to handle." Then he slid into his car and made his departure.
Stopping, he reached up and removed his helmet before turning back to his charges, Seriously? I'm so glad you fuckers didn't have this kind of selective hearing during your training, then chuckling he said, Fuck it, a few drinks won't kill me.
Nolan, as is typical of a soldier who gets deployed frequently, doesn't really have much in personal effects. So he knows it will only be a small errand to go get his personal effects.
A better use of my time might be to get to know my men. They need to see me as a friend or they are likely to squash me like a bug.
Nolan first goes to see the guard commander, to get his bearings. Then once he knows where his office will be, will head there and summon the Master Sergeant to come for a little chat before he gets a chance to leave for the much deserved R&R.
---Nolan---
Actually just as Nolan moves to find the guard commander, he spots the Master Sergeant along with the boys walking over to their rooms. This facility is that large in the overall scheme of things, so it wasn't too surprising that he ran into them.
"Master Sergeant, men." Nolan walks up and gives a curt nod. "At ease." He says automatically, ignoring whether they saluted or not.
"It seems I am to be your new CO, effective tomorrow." He lets that settle in a moment before continuing.
"Tonight though, I am not assigned to your unit yet, and I reckon you'll be headed out to celebrate. May I join you.. and yes that is a request not a command."
