He could certainly understand that, and chastised himself for being surprised. He knew from his conversations with Brad Colbert that airborne training had become a standard part of elite training. He just had never seeen the patch on anyone but those from the PIRs that he'd known back stateside and in the ETO - and it was disconcerting to see the Screaming Eagle elsewhere. And, even though he was starting to realize just how outdated it made him, on a woman. He knew from experience, of course, just how competent a soldier she was, but it was still a disconnect, and the patch was concrete evidence of just how times had changed.
He shook his head. "Just surprised, that's all. Proud." He added, that they still existed and she was a part of them, but he'd had to censor himself from saying anything more so as not to give away the whole time-travel bit.
He followed Sonya and the Major's exchange, appreciating the explanations and information. The whole thunder-god concept required a little bit more suspension of disbelief, but since they were talking realms and portals it wasn't that much of a stretch. He thought it best for now that he just kept quiet and absorbed as much as possible - he was definately the naive outsider here, and from what he'd gathered so far keeping a low profile was part of the general strategy. That he could do.
