When they're not very much at work, they're the happiest, most smiling-faced folks I've ever been around. Those of their ways that have rubbed off on me are among my personal traits of which I'm proudest, and they very happily adopt some of the ways of those with whom they soldier as their own. Unfortunately, that includes their fondness for the Scots-Irish habit of blowing air into a sheep'sgut bag and calling it music. But aside from that, and an off-duty habit of picking fistfights with Royal Marines and SASmen for recreation, they're a swell bunch either to work with or with whom to party.
