My name is Toomey. Sergeant Merwin
J Toomey. I'm in charge of this platoon...

:10:08
..during your ten weeks of basic training
here in beautiful Biloxi, Mississippi.

:10:12
After which, you'll be sent to
some shit island in the Pacific...

:10:16
..or some turd pile in Northern Sicily.
:10:19
In either case, returning to your
mamas and papas with your balls intact...

:10:23
..is highly improbable.
:10:26
I speak from experience,
having served 14 months...

:10:33
..having donated a small portion
of my brains to this conflict,...

:10:37
..the other portion being protected
by a heavy steel plate in my head.

:10:45
I'd like you to answer when your name is
called. The answer to the question is "ho".

:10:50
Not "yes", not "right",
not "here", not 'sir".

:10:54
Any other unacceptable form of reply,
except the aforementioned "ho".

:10:58

:11:32

:11:34

:11:36

- Ho.

:11:41

:11:44

:11:46

:11:52
It's just plain ho.
:11:55
