+1 to both suggestions.

In addition:

1. Play with an alternating viewpoint. There can be rich potential in viewing the same scene or battle from two different perspectives.

2. Have the MC develop a relationship with a staff secretary or pilot or supplies transport chief or other non-boot-camp stable and recurring character.

3. Have a boot-camp friend defect and the MC meets them in battle. Ooooh.

4. Have the main character be so gob-smacked by one of his early days friends, that thereafter he makes regular comments like, "Horatio always said (this)" and "Horatio wouldn't have done it that way,' etc. Your MCs new friend would understandably be annoyed or amused and ask about this amazing Horatio fellow.
