Barracks section
In his apartment, he slips out of the Medbay gown , putting on his Unifrom and Boots , feeling a bit better.
he looks at the head cover and ops for the 809 ball cap, rather then the Beret.
from inside the duffle that carried his Uniform and other gear he used when flying. , a worn , but well cared for weapons belt, with his Glock and kabar.
he straps the boot knife on his legs. Sitting on a small chair, but a small table. he checks out his weapon AND mags.
when he is satisfied, the weapon is holstered, and one of the three exta mags goes in the casing on the other side of the belt..the opther two go in the dresser by his bed.
Slipping on his Jacket once more and zipping it about a few inches, he feels more like himself...The pictures of him with his Fighter on the HMAS Adelaide... a pair of picture of him making MArks in a game against Sydney Swans, that set up their win.. there were a pair of Pictures or WWI aricaft in dogfights as well, and at least 12 books, 3 AFL books, 4 on WWI aces and the rest were 'care and feeling of Hellcat fighters...all save one... " Staying alive behind the lines" a how to book of dealing with nature and your enemies..the books is more worn then the others.
There is a Bobble ehad of him with his #19 on that was signed by the Goolang team when he went off to fly.
he just let the rest sit, including the duffle with the rest of his uniforms and off duty items... he did secure the boxes of Glock round in a locked drawer.
As he stepped out of his apartment and locked it down he said to Marco, Marco? Lance Copr Patterson is taking a rest... I'm on the way to Hanger bay 1... please inform anyone who might need us!
he heads towards the lifts, eagerness to see his fighter again.
