I'm glad it's not a problem for you anymore, sir. [And he means that genuinely and absolutely, because again, being sick all the time? Kind of the worst.]

Both? [And he manages to look somewhere between amused, sheepish and self depreciating, because, well.]

I told my father I didn't need his permission to enlist, and he agreed, but when we told my mother, she didn't take it so well. I wound up enrolling in the V-12 program because they thought it'd be safer and I figured it was something. But it wasn't for me, so I flunked out and got shipped off to boot camp.

[Which, in retrospect, seems absolutely fucking insane, even if he doesn't really regret it. Or, he does, but he doesn't. It's complicated.]
