When Altair heard those words, his brow grew knitted. But before he could ask why, Captain Mike spoke. "Ah, Yes. That's what it was." He said, nodding. "Everyone has a job, and for now, we'll have you in the medical ward.  We'll transfer you around after a while. However, right now, until you catch up to the basics like the other boots. You're stuck there. Questions?" 

"How long are basics?" 

"Usually three months." Second Lieutenant Vincent Wendell said, his voice hard. "And you're about a month behind the other boots." 

"Not your fault. But you'll be extra busy these next few months." Added Fat Mike. "Lieutenant Borris is in charge of all recruit training. So, for eight hours, you'll study with him with all the other boots before you head to the Medic Ward to train under Lieutenant Commander Amelia."
