Detail for Goldbrick and the art of avoidance
Goldbrick is a soldier who learned to dodge work through patient practice. After months of trial, a Goldbrick can swap a short task for another job that would normally take about 13 minutes, stretching it over days to evade duties and render the schedule immune. The Goldbrick is treated as essential as the equipment and uniforms it accompanies.
