:12:01
I was hoping
you'd say that.
:12:03
It'll be a great chance
for you to catch up
on your education.
:12:06
Yeah. The only thing is,
I hate running out on the kids.
They've had enough of that.
:12:12
You can do more for 'em
with your service pay than
you can by staying here.
:12:16
I guess I hadn't
thought of it that way.
:12:20
Course, being under age,
you'll have to get
a letter of permissiĆ³n.
:12:24
I'll get Corinne
to write one for me.
:12:27
Good-bye, Mr. Huston.
Thanks.
:12:30
If I were you, Audie,
I'd think about it
for a career.
:12:33
You stay in 20 years,
and you can retire
on good money.
:12:37
Don't make the mistake
that I made. I might
have been a general...
:12:40
Yes, sir.
I'll remember that.
:12:46
It'll take more than a letter
from your guardian to get you
in this outfit, sonny.
:12:50
We separate the men
from the boys, but we like
to have something to start with.
:12:53
Why don't you
try the Army?
:13:00
I'm sorry.
The Navy makes men
out of boys,
:13:03
but you're too much
of a job for us.
:13:05
Why don't you
try the Army?
:13:16
Attention!
Attention, please!
:13:19
This being
our fourth day at sea,
it is now permissible...
:13:22
to report
our destination as being
French North Africa,
:13:26
which we will reach
in approximately
five more days.
:13:30
According
to the last communique
on the fighting in Tunisia,
:13:32
the Axis forces
are still retreating
toward the coast.
:13:37
Their losses in men
and equipment are reported
to be extremely high.
:13:41
Further bulletins will be
announced as received.
That is all.
:13:45
Sure picked a beaut for acting
platoon sergeant, didn't they?
Huh?
