One night after an especially bad day of training, Rick lay in bed fuming and couldn't sleep. U-Haul had told him that they might cycle cracker out or give her to another handler, if any wanted her. "Cycling out" could mean anything. It could mean returning her to civilian life, it could mean giving her to another handler, it could mean sending her to sentry training, and it could mean putting her down. Sarge said he didn't know what would become of her if she cycled out. (50)​
