We met during our Basic Leadership Course in Mississippi, we sat at the same table and "accidentally" kicked each other too many times. We made peace by making each other coffee before class and quickly became friends. For one of our projects, we were required to wear our service uniform and Pau (In exchange for some much-needed medicine) offered to steam Joe's uniform. Somehow in the process of returning the uniform back, Joe's pants got mistaken for Pau's! They eventually received the proper pair of pants and began going on daily walks together. From that point on, they became inseparable.
