EVAC is a poor excuse for a soldier and medic. He joined the Air Force after he ran out of other options for employment, figuring it would be the cushiest of the American armed forces.

By the time he realized how much work it was to be a parajumper, he felt it was too late to quit and go back to picking vegetables with his family.
