this was the reason he left the army. Throughout the first season C.J. was used primarily for comedic relief. Known for the occasional wisecrack, and having a slightly strange sense of humor, he was still a very capable soldier. When Major Shepherd first contacted him, he was working in construction making use of his demolition training.
