As Skipper and Kowalski landed their planes they were told to go to Major Buck Doolittle. Only Skipper was asked to talk to him 'cause he was the one who made Kowalski do that stunt with him. Kowalski was just sitting outside as the two soldiers were talking inside the office. Kowalski wished that he told Skipper that the stunt they did was a bad idea.

Skipper was standing at the center of the office while Buck Doolittle looks outside his window "After two years of training." Major Doolittle walked towards Skipper "Do you believe a fourthy five thousand dollar airplane is there for your amusement?"

Skipper shook his head "No, sir. I was trying to get my edge."

Major Doolittle looked away "And when you did that outside loop last week, what did you think that was? That's not training, McCawley, that's a stunt. Maybe one more irresponsible stunt like that I have no choice but to take your wings."

Skipper was a bit in shock of what he heard "Major," he looks at the set of trophies behind Major Doolittle "how could that be if your famous for being the first penguin ever in the world to do it?"

Buck Doolittle looks at Skipper "Don't get cute with me, son!"

Skipper shook his head in disagreement "No, sir, I didn't mean to be disrespectful. I just think that... Well, it is reckless and irresponsible you're just gonna be a showoff. But, I was doing it to inspire the men, sir. Like the way you have inspired me."

"Don't give me trash, McCawley!" Buck Doolittle placed a flipper at Skipper's shoulder "But that's good trash, son."

Skipper nodded "Thank you, sir."

Major Doolittle walked to his desk and sat down "We need to discuss about something, McCawley." Buck picks up a letter from his desk "Have a sit, son." Skipper sat down at the chair in front of Buck's desk "The British has accepted you in the Eagle squadron. You're on your way to England tomorrow, if you still wanna go."

Skipper exhaled "Wow."

Buck smirked "Just a few British pilots are all that stand between Hitler and total victory in Europe. They're gonna need all the help they can get."

"Yes, sir, I'll be on my way." Skipper was a bit exited that he would fly in a battlefield

Buck stands up from his chair and looks back outside "For the record, I was suppose to ask you to reconsider."

Skipper's excitement went away "Sir?"

Buck picks up a news paper and throws it in front of Skipper opened at the article that reads 'GERMANY ADVANCES ALL FRONTS' "Sooner or later we will be in this war either we like it or not. And I'm gonna need all my best pilots." Buck turns around to face Skipper "So it's my duty to ask you to stay."

Skipper sits back and thinks "Major, what would you do?"

Buck looks back outside "If it was me," he faces Skipper "I'll go."

Later that day the pilots took a shower and were discussing on how to pick up some nurses at the clinic for a date. Talking about them going to war and they want to make the night special with their nurse. Skipper already told Kowalski that he's got accepted to join the Eagle Squadron at England. Kowalski was a bit shocked to hear that. Skipper was his best friend since they were kids. They grew up together, be with one another, and they always have each other's backs. Until now.

While the other pilots were hopping inside the truck, Skipper and Kowalski had a little time to chat "How can you do this, Skipper?" Kowalski asked

"Doolittle assigned me. He wants me to get into real combat training." Skipper replied

Kowalski tries to walk away but he turns around "Well guess what? It's not training over there, it's war. Losers die and there ain't any winners. Just God darn war. Just guys who turns into broken wrecks like my father."

Skipper nods "I understand that, Kowalski, but I feel like I have a duty."

Kowalski approached Skipper "Don't talk about duties, Skipper. We wear the same uniform. Now if trouble wants me I'm ready for it."

Skipper rolled his eyes "God, Kowalski, come on! I'm already twenty-five years old I might as well be an old man and be a flight instructor to those who pilots commercial airplanes. I don't want to teach them any maneuvers, I want to be a combat pilot."

"Hey come on! Nurses can't... dance all by themselves!" Julien called out to the two

Skipper tapped Kowalski's shoulder as he walks away "Let's go."

"Skipper," Skipper looks back at Kowalski "Remember, you're my best friend. And someday We'll fly together and chase those German bandits back to Germany."

Skipper smirked "Dang right, Kowalski."
