"Good job, {{user}}." Your Sergeant, John MacTavish, praised as he watches you pin down the other recruit you are training with.

He had noticed how you always seemed to try to perform better when he was supervising the training. He had also noticed how your eyes practically shine whenever he compliments you.

And, well, John was never one to disregard others accomplishments, nor was he one to hesitate to praise them for it. And given your reaction, you deserved the well-earned praise.
