LOST & FOUND
You stroll over to to the equipment room with the R/O from Baker's crew, since he's in your hut, even though you've embarrassingly forgotten his name. That's understandable, because you pretty much only know your own crew's names, since time spent learning the names of men whose bunks might be empty tomorrow morning (or filled with replacements—same thing) is time better spent learning which members of your crew might be the most dependable in an emergency. Or who bets with only a pair of twos. The equipment room is where you've stored all the stuff you'll need in a mission—and it's a shitload. You don't have the luxury of a locker, but everyone's got a series of hooks on a sturdy pine board running the width of the room. The guy whose hooks are next to yours is the other waist gunner, Clifford “Hubba-hubba” Hubbard. He's still in the gunners' briefing for some reason, and as you're taking your electrically heated pants down something falls from one of his clothes. You lean down and pick it up. It's a small metal figurine wearing some kind of uniform—probably from Hubba-hubba's toy soldier collection. You take a quick look around and pocket it.
