:21:00
Yes, Recon.
:21:02
Their last sergeant was
an old-time combat vet, too.
:21:06
But he went ROAD on me...
:21:09
..."Retired On Active Duty. "
:21:11
Had a few months to retirement,
figured he'd coast.
:21:14
Allowed the men to lapse into mediocrity.
:21:19
You're close to mandatory retirement
yourself. Aren't you, Highway?
:21:23
That's right, Major.
:21:27
I ask for Marines,
the division sends me relics.
:21:38
The men in Recon Platoon are less than
highly motivated, to say the least.
:21:42
I want those men in shape.
:21:44
I'll make life-takers
and heartbreakers out of them, sir.
:21:51
Dismissed.
:21:57
Is he always like that,
or is he trying to make a good impression?
:22:00
He even consults the Marine Corps manual
before he mounts his old lady...
:22:04
...just to insure he performs in an orderly,
proficient, military manner.
:22:07
Chow with Helen and me tonight.
She can't wait to see you.
:22:10
Later, we can stomp some brain cells
and tell some stories.
:22:13
- I'd like to, but I'd better get organized.
- Sure. I understand.
:22:18
Excuse me, sir.
:22:21
I mean, Gunney. Sergeant Major.
:22:24
Sir, this is Gunnery Sergeant Highway.
He's been assigned to Recon Platoon.
:22:28
Outstanding! Welcome aboard.
:22:30
I have to hightail it.
I'm late for pre-scuba school.
:22:36
His mama know he's playing Marine?
:22:38
By the way, he's Lieutenant Ring.
Your platoon leader.
:22:42
Thanks a lot.
:22:44
You think you were just going to tilt nipple
to a bunch of no-rank fuzzbutts?
:22:47
Want me to intro you to your troops?
:22:49
- No. I'll take care of it.
- Take my pickup.
:22:52
Thanks. Where is it?
:22:54
You just tell by the sign.
It says, "Sergeant Major. "
