At Camp McKay, 30 miles outside
of Wellington, we set up for business.
1:03:08
From here on out, we would be
racing against the clock.
1:03:11
For on another island miles to the north,
the 1st Marine Division...
1:03:15
...had taken the first step
of the long road back.
1:03:20
Major, whoever drew up
this training schedule is wacky.
1:03:23
It calls for a hike tonight
and a 25-mile hike tomorrow.
1:03:26
That's right, I drew up that schedule.
1:03:29
But these boys have been
cooped up aboard ship for three weeks.
1:03:33
That's a bit rough.
1:03:34
It's gonna get rougher
where we're going.
1:03:37
First we're gonna
get this camp shipshape...
1:03:39
...then we're gonna work out the kinks
before anybody gets liberty.
1:03:48
High Pockets promised he'd work
the kinks out of us...
1:03:51
...and he kept his promise.
1:03:52
The field problems ran day and night.
1:03:55
We were on the move from dawn to dusk
and back to dawn.
1:04:02
- Ready to move out, sir.
- Let's go.
1:04:22
And it was 10 long days before
he eased up and gave us liberty.
1:04:25
The wonderful people of New Zealand
loved the kids in green...
1:04:28
...and to us, well,
it was almost like home.
1:04:41
He's full of whiskey and donuts.
1:04:43
You gotta stop acting like this,
you'll get shipped out.
1:04:46
Marion snapped out of it.
1:04:48
You smell up the network every time
you're on radio. Wise up to yourself!
1:04:52
Go on. You guys slobber over me
like I'm a 10-year-old. Leave me alone.
1:04:56
Sober him up on that stuff
before the MPs get to him.
