Lovely. Short, to the point, concise yet poignant.
And I loved the fact that you measure out the events in their lives with the distance that separates them. I really liked the imagery, especially in this fragment:
2 floors, 1 hallway. Brad's cubicle in the NCO office is actually closer to Nate's than they were when they lived in tents at Mathilda, the space shorter than their dispersion during the invasion. But Nate's disillusionment with command makes him hesitate to breach that distance on anything other than Corps-related business. (Brad doesn't have the same scruples, it turns out.)
