Perfect. It only took the army five minutes
to turn Wykowski into a robot.

:09:06
Jesus, I'm dripping wet.
This place is like a steam bath.

:09:09
I can't stay if it's gonna be this hot.
:09:11
- I shoulda joined the navy. It's cooler.
- Navy's for homos.

:09:15
I pictured the army different. I pictured
a lotta doughnuts and USO dances.

:09:26
Hi.
:09:27
How are ya?
:09:30
Good to see ya.
:09:35
- Hello, soldier.
- Hello.

:09:37
Hi, sarge.
:09:40
Hm.
:09:44
Detail, attention.
:09:51
Sorry, men,
perhaps I didn't make myself clear.

:09:54
Detail, ten hut!
:09:57
Good. Good. At ease, gentlemen.
:10:03
My name is Toomey. Sergeant Merwin
J Toomey. I'm in charge of this platoon...

:10:08
..during your ten weeks of basic training
here in beautiful Biloxi, Mississippi.

:10:12
After which, you'll be sent to
some shit island in the Pacific...

:10:16
..or some turd pile in Northern Sicily.
:10:19
In either case, returning to your
mamas and papas with your balls intact...

:10:23
..is highly improbable.
:10:26
I speak from experience,
having served 14 months...

:10:33
..having donated a small portion
of my brains to this conflict,...

:10:37
..the other portion being protected
by a heavy steel plate in my head.

:10:45
I'd like you to answer when your name is
called. The answer to the question is "ho".

:10:50
Not "yes", not "right",
not "here", not 'sir".

:10:54
Any other unacceptable form of reply,
except the aforementioned "ho".

:10:58
Am I understood?
