R. Lee Ermey claimed that a scene was cut in which Hartman breaks character, and warmly expresses pride toward the recruits for having completed their training. The closest that the book "The Short Timers" (that was the basis for the film) comes to such a moment is when when the sergeant confronts the crazed marine (Leonard Pratt in the book, Leonard Lawrence in the movie) in the bathroom; when he notices that his usual yelling is ineffective, he proceeds by saying "I'm proud..." but is cut off when Pratt shoots him. In the movie, Hartmann gets shot in the middle of another tirade.
