"You should go for it. You might find out for yourself that you are very skilled in the area. Additionally you could be a gunner and operate the turrets of a big ship if you're wanting to stay close to your itchy trigger finger."
"Maybe I will consider it but its no priority and if I did get involved it would likely be a hobby of sorts. Right now, all I can consider is waiting to move forward in this forsaken place."
"Yeah, I know what you mean being that I'm stuck here too. So if you could choose another skill to learn which one would you choose?"
"That's a tough one, there are so many to choose from but if I really had to make a choice I might go with some kind of ATV training."
"Probably a good choice, you can never know when you might have to drive one. Out here, its not likely, so you're safe for now." Uhurah gives a half smile wishing that she could be concentrating on a solution to their current 'captivity'.
"I would love to have an ATV to handle, actually why haven't we been given one for this mission? Oh, yeah, I forgot, we are supposed to be just recon". Major looks at his captors and then says, "Well that didn't go so well."
"Well yeah, but like I said, I think there is lots more to this scenario than just doing recon in an unknown jungle."
Major goes brave and clears his throat. "So... Is there someone in your life Uhura?"
He stutters a bit, "I mean like a husband, boyfriend or whatever... Just making conversation you know."
