I’m sure you know I’d rather be up there than down here. But since I can’t, I’m awfully glad it’s you, old friend. Everyone on board Bolo One is like a part of my family. I am eager to be working with each of you again in the coming months and years. Yes, you read it right. I’m going back to active duty status and really looking forward to the challenge. I’ll relay more on what has happened later.
Your friend and comrade, Ty

Break out the horns and party favors, and let’s make a little noise!” he declared, throwing his arms wide and exhibiting a delighted grin.
“Roger that!” Brandon replied, echoing his smile.
