"I enlisted to become an armored scout because I was interested in it, and because there was a big bonus for pegasi -- they usually can't handle all the armor. But I had played offensive tackle in regional hoofball, the only pegasus on the fillies' team, and I won second place in the Hark County Aerial marathon the year I graduated and first place the year before, so I wasn't worried about bearing the weight or having to fly long distances."
