Interesting chapter, glad to see he was so willing to let go of his previous life, without much of a second thought on it, if it seems to mean he didn't had any obligations to anyone he didn't like anymore or a miserable life he was going through with being a crippled still in the army in a combat zone. Now I wonder what will be his prospects for him here on out.

What's a CutieMark?

No other statement conveys 'I know nothing about ponies' quite as well as that.

Now let's see if he has to reveal his origin, or if he can talk his way out of it.
