Little Ziltch, a new kid,
the commander's orderly.
:15:06
And this is Major Sam Huxley, known
throughout the Corps as High Pockets.
:15:11
He's now in command
of the 2nd Battalion.
:15:13
I've served with Huxley
off and on for years.
:15:16
If there's one man who can build
a fighting battalion...
:15:19
...you're looking at him.
:15:20
- Mac.
- Yes, sir.
:15:23
- Take charge. Get them squared away.
- Yes, sir.
:15:28
Bob, get them bedded down.
:15:30
Left face!
:15:33
Arms, huh!
:15:36
Forward, huh!
:15:39
Rest easy. The smoking lamp's lit.
:15:42
I called you men together because
I know we're all thinking the same thing.
:15:46
These new boys we're getting...
:15:48
...they may look like Marines
and talk like Marines...
:15:51
...but we know the truth.
:15:54
In other words,
we've got problems.
:15:57
We've also got a war on our hands.
:16:00
Now, we all have buddies on wait
in the Philippines and Shanghai.
:16:04
It's gonna be a long road back.
:16:09
And we can't get back without them.
:16:12
You know I'm going to train them...
:16:15
...so that every private in this battalion
can take command if he has to.
:16:20
The only way I can do that
is with your help.
:16:23
Thank you. That will be all.
:16:32
The man said he wanted communicators,
and I said he'd have them.
:16:35
Every minute they weren 't in the field,
I had them at the practice table.
:16:39
Inside three weeks, they could read code
in their sleep. And probably did.
:16:56
Come on, snap out of it.
What, you got the blues?
:16:59
This place gives me
the creeps on Sunday.
