:19:03
(offcer shouting commands)
:19:15
Ready! Halt!
:19:18
Present... arms!
:19:22
(trumpet)
:19:27
- That must be him.
- He looks OK.
:19:30
They're all the same.
:19:33
Order... arms!
:19:36
Bradley platoon, stand fast!
The other platoons, to the mess hall.
:19:40
By the right flank, march!
:19:44
(band strikes up)
:19:48
At ease, boys.
:19:50
This is Sergeant Daniel Neff.
:19:52
He'll be taking over as platoon officer
from Sergeant Goodrich.
:19:56
Sergeant Neff is a very experienced soldier,
and I am sure that within a few weeks...
:20:01
...you will be the snappiest platoon
in the entire academy.
:20:05
I'll leave any further introductions
to the sergeant.
:20:18
You'll speak to me only when you're spoken
to. And you'll listen to every word I say.
:20:23
Because I intend to shine in my new job.
:20:27
And the only way that I can shine...
is by making you shine.
:20:32
You're the little unit that I have to polish
until the glare of your achievements...
:20:37
...blinds everybody on this parade ground.
:20:41
- Am I understood?
- (all) Yes, sir!
:20:45
I'll meet each of you personally
in my office after breakfast.
:20:48
For now... your names?
:20:51
- Mark Thorn, Sergeant.
- Thorn?
:20:54
Your family has strong connections
with this place, hasn't it?
:20:57
- Well? Hasn't it?
- My father and grandfather were cadets, sir.
