  Summary

  After months of silence, Tommy decides to join the army as a pilot for a 12-month contract, where he decides to put one Evan Buckley as his next of kin, not that he plans on needing one anyway. 

  He doesn’t plan on crashing in the desert and his tags ending on a very much dead man either.
