However, when they are told by John why they can’t join up, Jim Bob goes to town to get an Air-Core tattoo. When John and Olivia find out about, they aren’t too thrilled and tell him he has to live with the decision of getting it and their feelings for the rest of his life. Meanwhile, as his graduation draws closer, Jason begins to feel the pressure to join up. Not happy at the contemplation of killing another person, he goes to the recruitment office to learn about becoming a conscientious objector.
