This is just horrible.

The Staff was really just a big stick…Anyway, it was capped by an elaborate headpiece with a carving of the sun at the top. What you had to do was take the Staff to a special map room in Tanis--it had the whole city laid out in miniature on the floor. When you placed the Staff in a certain spot in this room, at a certain time of day, the sun would shine through a hole here in the headpiece and then send a beam of light down here—to the map--giving you the location of the Well of the Souls...

I agree also. That's so fucking stupid. I wouldn't be surprised if that started happening at other bases. I suppose I should just start expecting my boyfriend being forced to stay in for a long time. War is dumb beyond dumb beyond dumb.

Granted, I just skimmed it, so forgive me if I missed a crucial part, but maybe it wasn't so much a threat as a reality. Soldiers whose service has just ended can be called back up for need, and many have been already, so perhaps their immediate supperiors said something to the effect that reenlisting was the only way they could avoid being called back up and sent to combat. Either way it's not good, but at least this way it makes their immediate supperior look less like dicks.
Ok, i just read the thing again and, yeah, their superiors do sound like dicks.
