: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.
:21:00
Yes, Recon.
:21:02
Their last sergeant was
an old-time combat vet, too.
:21:06
But he went ROAD on me...
:21:09
..."Retired On Active Duty. "
:21:11
Had a few months to retirement,
figured he'd coast.
:21:14
Allowed the men to lapse into mediocrity.
:21:19
You're close to mandatory retirement
yourself. Aren't you, Highway?
:21:23
That's right, Major.
:21:27
I ask for Marines,
the division sends me relics.
:21:38
The men in Recon Platoon are less than
highly motivated, to say the least.
:21:42
I want those men in shape.
:21:44
I'll make life-takers
and heartbreakers out of them, sir.
:21:51
Dismissed.
:21:57
Is he always like that,
or is he trying to make a good impression?
