:19:08
Been in a long time.
:19:10
I've felt a little heat, sir.
:19:13
Korea. Dominican in 1965.
Three tours of duty in Vietnam.
:19:17
This old bulldog is carrying
so much shrapnel...
:19:20
...he can't pass through
an airport metal detector.
:19:23
I haven't yet had the privilege of combat.
:19:29
I recently came over
from Supply and Logistics.
:19:32
An unappreciated field of endeavor, sir.
:19:36
Quite.
:19:38
My record of achievement thus far
has been exemplary...
:19:41
...and I fully intend for that to continue.
:19:44
Sir.
:19:45
I want this battalion to be
the class of the division.
:19:49
I expect my noncommissioned officers
to lead by example.
:19:53
Public fighting and insubordination
to civilian authority...
:19:56
...are not what I call "good standards. "
:19:58
It was a minor altercation, sir.
:20:00
You make a habit of that, Gunney.
:20:03
A year ago you hit an officer.
:20:05
I went to Annapolis with that man.
:20:07
You try that with me, Sergeant Highway...
:20:09
...and you'll drag your butt in a sling
for a month, understand?
:20:14
Yes, sir.
:20:16
I don't know what strings you pulled to
get here, but I assure you, I don't like it.
:20:21
This is the new Marine Corps.
:20:24
The new breed.
:20:27
Characters like you are an anachronism.
:20:30
You should be sealed in a case that reads,
"Break Glass Only in the Event of War. "
:20:37
I have no tolerance for you old-timers
who think you know better. Understand?
:20:44
I understand a lot of body bags get
filled if I don't do my job, sir.
:20:49
Major!
:20:50
Division has assigned Gunney Highway
to our Reconnaissance Platoon.
