Jack (Boomer)

Jack is a Boomer living at Nellis Air Force Base in the Nellis Hangars. If you talk to Jack before starting the quest for the bomber, he mentions something about a lady in the water ( you soon find out what that means). If you ask him what he meant by that he will say "Go to hell outsider" not letting you speak to him, thus not being able to get the rebreather. If you follow this dialog, however, you will be unable to complete Volare!.

If you are at 'accepted' reputation level prior to speaking to him, he does not give you the "go to hell" line, and instead says "I just say strange things sometimes, sorry" and moves on with the conversation like it never happened.

Background
Jack appears to be Loyal's apprentice.

Interactions with the player character
Jack tasks the player with finding a redhead who works for the Crimson Caravan Company, Janet. He is also involved in bringing "the lady" to the surface, giving the player the Rebreather.

If you give jack scrap metal, it increases your fame with Nellis. If you give enough (seems to be 50 units total), you gain instant Idolized status with Nellis Air Force Base. Because of this, you can entirely skip the quest Volare!.

Appearances
Jack appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
