Plot Summary
Jack Davidson assists to his graduation ceremony on the Sandhurst Military Academy. After departing from Terra, he mets Diana Mallory, and old friend, which he is happy to see her, despite the fact now he's an officer and cannot relate between them as before. A day later, she convinces him to shave his head, to be able to use his Neurohelmet, which she does. He knows that is a hazing, but she repays her cuting her ponytail as reprisal, which both helps him keep his dignity and with the respect of his team.Articles needing clarification[incomprehensible]
