[ Not quite a question, not quite a statement. It hovers somewhere in between. That's not really something people have asked him. Finn gives it a second, like he's either waiting for clarification or waiting for John to be like "actually never mind, I don't want to hear it." When it doesn't seem to be forthcoming, he goes ahead. ]
I think when I got here and said I had combat training, I didn't like that it was the first place I got pointed to. I think that happens to a lot of people who don't know much else and don't know they can ask for more options. But I also think that's a problem that runs a little higher up.
[ Honestly, once he was stable enough to leave the hospital and get the proper orientation, everything up to and including the hospital vending machines was shady as hell to Finn. He won't pretend otherwise.
Anyway, he's... got a lot of opinions incoming. He runs on having opinions about everything he can, really, because a little less than three months of of it has barely put a dent in 23 years of not knowing that he could have them at all. There's a difference between having opinions and making choices during a simulation. ]
I think the Perimeter Guard does the best it can to look out for this city with what it's got. Boot camp runs too short, even if you know already what you're doing. I can't figure out if there's a point to that or if they just want to get their numbers up faster. Doesn't seem like the best idea.
[ Small militias, though. What can you do. ]
I think it looks like a bad roster balance between standard patrol and special units on paper, but they put stock into cooperation and going where you're needed when they need it. It holds up fine. Unit cohesion is good, for the most part. I think the people are good, for the most part. [ There's no way every single person in this organization is gonna be inherently good or even easy to get along with, necessarily. ] I think I could leave if I wanted without having to watch my back over it, and the work's good enough that I can choose to stay. I think I've made myself useful.

Best mess hall I've ever eaten in, too. As much as that's worth.
