Summary
His gunner is a fine make, in more ways than one. Behind the Fury's 76 mm gun he is unparalleled - killer instincts, a crack shot and a steady, obedient disposition that makes him a goddamn pleasure to command. During a firefight he is quiet, focused, saying not much more than “Roger,” to acknowledge orders, and “On the way!” when he hits the pedal and fires - it is the only time Boyd drops the “yes sir, no sir,” his manners demand, even when Don himself doesn't. These days Don can hear it in his sleep, “On the way!” in Boyd's honey sweet accent, a sign his nightmare is about to end. His gunner's aim is always true.
The rest of him is, to Don's consternation, just as finely made.

Summary
Don doesn't know how lucky he is. Binkowski stifles a snort. Or maybe he does know how lucky he is, because he sure keeps Boyd in his goddamn pocket. It ain't often that Binkowski gets a word with him, let alone finds him all on his lonesome.
After the day he's had, it feels like a blessing straight from the Lord.
