* IdealizedSex: Averted for the most part. Things look fairly grabby and hesitant the first time, and Leckie even finishes too quickly and has to "wait a moment to reload." But the question of protection is never brought up. It's especially confusing when he comes to say goodbye and she looks sad and says, "I'm not going to have a baby with you." You're almost expecting her to say she's gotten pregnant from their hook-ups.

* CovertPervert: We see the Marines pull a party trick that's this; challenge a pretty girl to drink a glass of beer off the top of your head. While she's doing that, her cleavage is right in your face.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Stella sends Leckie away prematurely because she's worried that if he gets any closer to her family and then dies it'll affect her parents too badly. He doesn't take this well.

* PutOnABus: In-universe, John Basilone is awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in Guadalcanal and promptly sent back to America to sell war bonds. It's explained that this is the best thing he can be doing. A Medal of Honor winner pulls more war bonds, and he'll do more for the Corps putting ammo in their guns than he will shooting alongside them.
Added DiffLines:
* RecklessGunUsage: After Stella breaks up with him, Leckie gets sodding drunk and ends up pulling a gun on a superior officer. Both he and the gun's owner - Juergens - get sent to lock-up for it, and he gets reassigned to intelligence.
