Admiral Chegwidden thinks I'm a pain-in-the-ass bureaucrat who should never have involved the Marines in the first place. And he was right.

If I hadn't involved the Marines, my ass would not be hanging over a very deep chasm right now, no offense, Major.

None taken. I hang asses frequently in my profession.
