Summary:
The "sergeant-to-be" describes how telling Tug's recalcitrant father that his son was joining the United States Army was like "being shut up in a closet with a buzz saw that had jumped off the axle at top speed" (204). Tug's father kicks them out and promptly starts throwing Tug's clothes into the yard.
