Mendez for his part seemed to realize that and had treated Matt thus far with a polite sort of patience like he was just a new recruit and new DI rather than a kid he'd once known. The soldier man seemed to mull that over for a moment and chewed on his cigar thoughtfully.
"There's a world of difference between the training grounds and the front." Mendez put in gruffly.
"Matt is thinking we shake things up and swap out members of the fire teams so they learn to work with people outside of their familiar squads."
Mendez grunted and continued to chew on that poor cigar. "Could work. It's a bit late in the game to be playing footsie though, ain't it?"
"We might be able to push graduation back a few weeks, buy ourselves some time."
"Ackerson ain't the patient type, Kurt."
"I know, Chief. But I want to give them the best chance they have." Kurt said heavily and poked at his food briefly before taking a rather sullen bite.
