Fortunately, at this time Boyd was stationed at Eglin Air Force Base, where vast rooms full of military computers were calculating important things like how many nuclear bombs ought to be dropped on each city in the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, Boyd’s behavior had finally caught up with him and his posting was in…Maintenance. There was no way that anybody was going to let him touch those computers. This time, screaming at people didn’t work. Demoralized, Boyd’s appearance turned slovenly, and he developed a nervous tick of chewing on the flap of skin between his thumb and index finger. So now, in addition to being an acerbic weirdo, he was the acerbic weirdo who looked like a hobo and spat bloody scraps of loose skin all over you while he was yelling. This did not make it easier for him to get access to military computers.
