Moffit looked over to where Troy sat eating. He recalled how Troy had told him the success of the team lay in their complete trust of each other. At first, Moffit hadn't understood that. But as time went on, when others asked them the secret to their success, he found himself repeating exactly what Troy had told Moffit.
Troy was an excellent leader. He made it clear you had to follow his orders, but he always listened to whatever arguments any of them brought up. He was a little rash sometimes, but his rash decisions often saved them.
Moffit knew that Hitch and Tully called him "Sarge" out of respect and admiration. But he tried to break them of that habit, because to him, there was only one "Sarge," and that was Troy.
Troy was very much respected and admired by Moffit for his kindness and generosity. Like the time he didn't turn in Pernell for deserting. Instead he had come up with an excuse for him.
Troy was the best CO anyone could have.
